UPDATE: I’ve updated this post to cover changes to client validation made in ASP.NET MVC 2 RC 2.

One of the upcoming new features being added to ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta is a little helper method called Html.RenderAction and its counterpart, Html.Action. This has been a part of our ASP.NET MVC Futures library for a while, but is now being added to the core product.

This is the first in a series on ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta

I learned something new yesterday about interface inheritance in .NET as compared to implementation inheritance. To illustrate this difference, here’s a simple demonstration.

I was stepping through some code in a debugger today and noticed a neat little feature of Visual Studio 2010 that I hadn’t noticed before.

This code has been incorporated into a new RouteMagic library I wrote which includes Source Code on CodePlex.com as well as a NuGet package!

This is the second in a three part series related to HTML encoding blocks, aka the <%: ... %> syntax.

Have you ever needed to quickly spawn a web server against a local folder to preview a web application? If not, what would you say you do here?

You probably don’t need me to tell you that Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 has been released as it’s been blogged to death all over the place. Definitely check out the many blog posts out there if you want more details on what’s included.

A little while ago, Scott Guthrie announced the launch of the Microsoft Ajax CDN. In his post he talked about how ASP.NET 4 will have support for the CDN as well as the list of scripts that are included.

If you’re a manufacturing plant, one way to maximize profit is to keep costs as low as possible. One way to do that is to cut corners. Go ahead and dump that toxic waste into the river and pollute the heck out of the air with your smoke stacks. These options are much cheaper than installing smoke scrubbers or trucking waste to proper disposal sites.

In my last post, I presented a general overview of the CodePlex foundation and talked a bit about what it means to the .NET OSS developer, admittedly without much in the way of details. I plan to fix some of that in this post.

UPDATE: Be sure to read my follow-up post on this topic as well.

My last post on the new dynamic keyword sparked a range of reactions which are not uncommon when discussing a new language keyword or feature. Many are excited by it, but there are those who feel a sense of…well…grief when their language is “marred” by a new keyword.

UPDATE: Looks like the CLR already has something similar to what I did here. Meet the latest class with a superhero sounding name, ExpandoObject
