Out of all of the sessions that I attended at TechEd 2006 only three presenters really wowed me. Todd Bleeker and Ted Pattison on MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2007 and Scott Guthrie on ASP.Net and ATLAS. Here are the links to all of the source from those presentations. For Todd’s artifacts you must register at the MindSharp site: Todd Bleeker's SharePoint Feature Code and Demos Todd Bleeker's SharePoint Content Type Code and Demos Ted Pattison’s Slides and Sample Code ScottGu's Slides ScottGu's...
[from this post: How to create Framework 1.1 assembly using VS2005] I was wondering for some time if its possible to create vs2003 (framework 1.1) assembly using vs2005 as i would love the option to still be able to produce fw 1.1 code mainly for supportability while using the vs2005 IDE which has such great improvements…. Class Diagram… Generate unit Tests etc…Jomo Fisher published on his blog the 9 steps of enabling fw 1.1 build on vs 2005 … and ITS WORKING !1. Copy...
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Microsoft Office (VSTO): Creating Multi-Tier ApplicationJohn Durant — dude gets it! This guy in an awesome presenter. Probably the best session of the conference and it isn’t even about 2007 Office System! I wish I could bottle his energy – the dude is a ball of fire! Unfortunately there isn’t a lot to report here since the session was all about shipping products and technologies. I think he had about 6 slides. The rest of the time was spent in...
One message (vibe, transmission, marketing babble?) I’m getting from all of the Microsoft guys is to really think of Office SharePoint Server 2007 (OSS 2007) as a platform for developing applications for your enterprise. This really has my few remaining brain cells spinning. See with SharePoint Products and Technologies 2003 (okay wait. I’m sorry Fitz I’m going to call all of this “stuff” SharePoint. I’m tired of trying to say WSS/SP or SPPT or OSS or Office SharePoint...
Awesome post about OSS page anatomy! [from this post: SharePoint Team Blog : Page Anatomy] No this post is not about a popular TV show! We'll cover the integrated framework we are using in the next release of SPS + CMS (breaking news - now officially Office SharePoint Server 2007 - I will cover that in a second post later today) to enable people to create, manage and publish the spectrum of very simple to very sophisticated internet sites. We've learned a lot from a variety of customer feedback on...

Thanks for sharing, Jan!!!! [from this post: SharePoint Web Part Code Snippets for VS 2005] When you want to develop web parts for SharePoint the “traditional” way, it’s good idea to use the Web Part Templates for Visual Studio .NET. These templates will give you a start class to quickly build web parts. Unfortunately these templates are not (yet?) available for Visual Studio 2005. Since Windows SharePoint Services SP2 you can run your WSS sites on .NET 2.0, so you can build your...

[via: Stefan Goßner : ASP.NET 2.0 and MCMS - Site Navigation - Part 1] ASP.NET 2.0 and MCMS - Site Navigation - Part 1 This article replaces my earlier article about MCMS Navigation Providers which I have written while ASP.NET 2.0 was in Beta 2. After Beta 2 a couple of things have changed which prevent the earlier code from working properly with the final version of ASP.NET 2.0. and --- ASP.NET 2.0 and MCMS - Site Navigation - Part 2...

Do you miss ReSharper in VS 2005, I sure do. Here is some info on an alternative called JustCode! by omnicore. Many thanks to Roy Osherove for his post.

Awesome article on Roy Osherove’s blog on the failure of Microsoft to understand Test Driven Development. Microsoft needs to remove this article from MSDN. Period. It is a huge step in the wrong direction. It makes me think that the only reason Microsoft included their Quality Tools in VSTS was to try to squash open-source and otherwise free tools like NUnit and TestDriven.net. This has solidified my decision to never use VSTS and has served as a stern reminder to always sip the Kool-Aid before...

This may be old news but just stumbled across NSurvey – very cool stuff. [via The NSurvey project ] The NSurvey project NSurvey is a free web based survey and form engine software toolkit for Microsoft's .net. Written in pure managed C#, NSurvey aims anyone who needs to collect quickly valuable information from customers, visitors or employees. Why continue to spend thousands of $$ on expensive and closed survey packages ?!Thanks to the flexibilty of the NSurvey form engine and to the ASP.net...
via ScottGu In this post App_Offline.htm ScottGu says: Basically, if you place a file with this name in the root of a web application directory, ASP.NET 2.0 will shut-down the application, unload the application domain from the server, and stop processing any new incoming requests for that application. ASP.NET will also then respond to all requests for dynamic pages in the application by sending back the content of the app_offline.htm file (for example: you might want to have a “site under...
The opening video was awesome. Microsoft UK put together a gag video about a new feature that lets end users “share the pain” with the developer who caused the pain. It was great… on the client computer a dialog popped up when the program crashed, similar to the real “report and error dialog” but in this enhanced version there is a live audio/video feed of the developer who wrote the code that caused the problem. Then the demonstrator picked one of three “pain”...
I gotta say this first: The BillG video with Napoleon Dynamite was awesome. It was so good that even after all of the cool announcements I was wishing that there would have been one more video break with our buddy Napoleon. No? FINE! IDIOTS! There was so much cool stuff that I’m sure I am missing lots of things… it was so crowded that I didn’t dare open my laptop. It was so long it was hard to remember everything. Information overload. I will try to be better about taking notes...
Nikhil Kothari has made a very cool browser extension for ASP.Net 2.0. Looks like it is already a very useful tool but from the sounds of it there will be more iterations to come. The most interesting thing to me was the ability to view the viewstate client-side decrypted. This feature alone would have saved me many, many hours when developing controls and very complex pages. ASP.NET Development Helper Looks like (from the comments) that someone has ported the tool to ASP.Net 1.1 - I wonder if it...
