    This is the seventh in a series of blog posts I'm doing on ASP.NET 4.5. The next release of .NET and Visual Studio include a ton of great new features and capabilities. With ASP.NET 4.5 you'll see a bunch of really nice runtime and tooling improvements with both Web Forms and MVC - as well as in the core ASP.NET base foundation that both are built upon. Today’s post covers some of the improvements we are adding to the next release of Visual Studio to make working with CSS and CSS3 even bet...

  • Now Visual Studio 2010 supports new web standards

    Now Visual Studio 2010 supports new web standards

    Today the Web Platform and Tools team (I can see the influence of Mads in this) announced the release of the Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1. What sits behind this cryptic name? Shouldn’t Visual Studio already support web standards? Actually, not the latest ones. In January Microsoft released the support for HTML5 in the context of intellisense and validation in VS2010 SP1, but all the other related standards, CSS3 and all the new JavaScript standards were left o...

  • ASP.NET MVC 3 and the @helper syntax within Razor

    ASP.NET MVC 3 and the @helper syntax within Razor

    May 11

    ASP.NET MVC 3 supports a new view-engine option called “Razor” (in addition to continuing to support/enhance the existing .aspx view engine). Razor minimizes the number of characters and keystrokes required when writing a view template, and enables a fast, fluid coding workflow. Unlike most template syntaxes, with Razor you do not need to interrupt your coding to explicitly denote the start and end of server blocks within your HTML. The Razor parser is smart enough to infer this from your co...

    Earlier this week I blogged about the new ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update that we shipped last month. In today’s blog post I’m going to go into more detail about two of the cool new features it brings: Built-in support for EF 4.1 (which includes the new EF “code-first” support) Built-in data scaffolding support within Visual Studio (which enables you to rapidly create data-driven sites) These two features provide a really sweet, and extremely powerful, way to work with data and build d...
