Repaving your PC: the easier way
Nov 1128It"s been a while since I had to repave my laptop. I have a Windows Home Server (WHS) at home which images my PC almost daily and allows restoring it to a given point in time in less than 30 minutes. Which is awesome! And which is how I usually restore my PC into a stable state. Over the past year some hardware changes have been made of which the most noteworthy is the replacement of the existing hard drive with an SSD. A great addition, and it was easy to restore as well: swap the disks and r...

Bin Deploying ASP.NET MVC 3
May 1126When you build an ASP.NET MVC 3 application and are ready to deploy it to your hosting provider, there are a set of assemblies you’ll need to include with your application for it to run properly, unless they are already installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) on the server. In previous versions of ASP.NET MVC, this set of assemblies was rather small. In fact, it was only one assembly, System.Web.Mvc.dll, though in the case of ASP.NET MVC 1.0, if you didn’t have SP1 of .NET 3.5 installed...

Web Migration: Moving Your Web App from WebMatrix to ASP.NET MVC 3

Mix 11 - Web Platform and Tools Keynote Demo Script
Apr 1113It's Day 1 of the Mix 11 conference here in Las Vegas. I work for the Web Platform and Tools (that's ASP.NET, IIS, IIS Media, etc) group and I did the Web Platform demos for Scott Guthrie's part of the keynote. A lot of people in Dev and QA worked hard all year long to make some fun and cool products and as the designated talking head, I had just 16 minutes to make all of them (people + products) look good. I hope I did them all justice. We built a backend and a front end for Rob and my sie...

NuGet Package of the Week #1 - ASP.NET Sprite and Image Optimization
Mar 1107I was thinking since the NuGet .NET package management site is starting to fill up that I should start looking for gems (no pun intended) in there. You know, really useful stuff that folks might otherwise not find. I'll look for mostly open source projects, ones I think are really useful. I'll look at how they built their NuGet packages, if there's anything interesting about the way the designed the out of the box experience (and anything they could do to make it better) as well as what the p...

Mixing Razor Views and WebForms Master Pages with ASP.NET MVC 3
Jan 1125I've spent the last few weeks travelling around presenting WebMatrix, Razor and ASP.NET MVC 3 to folks. Many people have existing WebForms apps or MVC apps with WebForms Views. The question has come up a number of times, Can I mix Razor Views and WebForms Views in a single ASP.NET MVC application? The answer is, No, Yes, and Maybe, But It's Not Supported. Most commonly the scenario is that someone has an existing WebForms (ASPX) Master Page that works nicely, and they now want to include...
