ASP.NET 2.0: Use VB.NET and C# within the App_Code folder

There is a way to partition the App_Code folder into sub-folders, one for each set of code files written in the same programming language. Awesome, I didn't have to spend a couple hours converting code from VB.NET to C#!

Even if you don't use multiple different programming languages for your code files in the App_Code folder, you could use this feature to organize your sets of related code files into sub-folders.

Code Project Browser Add-in Updated to Support VS 2008

Code Project Browser Add-in Updated to Support VS 2008

I also love convenience, and that's why I made this add-in. It lets you browse The Code Project directly in Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. When you click on a link that would normally download a zip file, it asks you instead if you'd like to open the sample up using The Code Project Browser. If you say yes, the add-in will download the file, unzip it to a base My Documents\My Code Project Samples directory, then load it directly. It also provides a sidebar where you can view, reload and delete all of the projects you've downloaded.

(via WindowsClient.Net - The Code Project Browser Add-in for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008)

Tip: Try this to make a VS 2005 add-in work with VS 2008

Tip: Try this to make a VS 2005 add-in work with VS 2008

Most simple Visual Studio 2005 add-ins could actually work with Visual Studio 2008. I'm not talking about huge add-ins like Resharper here, but most of the small utilities we find online. If you really want to keep using your add-in, and it doesn't provide a VS 2008 version yet, and you didn't have VS 2005 installed on the machine when you installed VS 2008 (as it tries to migrate the add-in when you install it in presence of VS 2005), there's is something very simple you can try that can work for many VS2005 add-in.

Disclaimer: Of course I have to repeat: This should work with many VS add-ins, but it will not work with all of them.

Dissecting ASP.NET Version 3.5's Web.config File

Dissecting ASP.NET Version 3.5's Web.config File

If you've had a chance to check out Visual Studio 2008, you may have noticed that it creates a rather verbose Web.config file with a bevy of configuration elements not found in the more terse Web.config file created by Visual Studio 2005. Likewise, when opening an existing Visual Studio 2005 project in Visual Studio 2008, you are prompted with a dialog box asking if you want to upgrade the website to use .NET Framework version 3.5. If you click Yes, Visual Studio updates the application's Web.config file to include the additional markup.

In this article we will examine each of the additional configuration elements added by Visual Studio 2008 to ASP.NET 3.5 applications. Read on to learn more!

SourceSafe 2005 Update is available for download!

I'm very pleased to announce that the wait is over. Today the first official update for SourceSafe 2005 went live on the web. Download away -- it's only 3.5MB.

To quickly bring new readers up to date: this update is a rollup of 64 VSS bug fixes. We focused hard on customer pain points; almost 3/4 of these fixes came directly from people like you filing bugs on Connect and/or calling Customer Support. The result is a variety of improvements to performance, stability, and reliability, plus a few long-time annoyances. In addition, we focused on compatibility with VS 2008 and Vista. I've gone into detail on those topics before so I won't repeat myself.

The difference between VS2005 and VS2008 Solution files

When opening a VS2005 solution in VS2008 their will be an upgrade wizard that will show up. If you go through the wizard and 'upgrade' the solution/project here is what happens: at the top of solution you just opened the first line will change from

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00

That's it, nothing else gets change and you *.vbproj or *.csproj are not affect or modified.

Extension Methods without 3.5 Framework

You can simply define the ExtensionAttribute in your assembly and extension methods will start working. No references to the 3.5 framework required. It's a lightweight solution that adds the full power of extension methods to your program.

Namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Building a Gmail Style File Uploading System using ASP.NET 2.0

Building a Gmail Style File Uploading System using ASP.NET 2.0

A normal file upload routine consists of a Textbox, browse button and a submit button. Users have to click on the browse button, choose the file that needs to be uploaded and then click the upload button for the actual transfer of file from the client pc to the server. Take a look at the GMail file attachment process in Internet Explorer. If you have paid close attention, the file upload process in GMail during attaching a file in an email has no browse button. All you see is a link called "Attach a file." When you click on the link, the "choose a file" dialog box will be shown. The moment you pick the file and click the button Open, the upload process begins.
