It was a while since the last time that I had a chat with my dear friend, Kourosh, until today when I could have a short chat with him and asked about the status of his new book about ASP.NET AJAX and surprisingly he told me that his book is printed and is ready for order. From some months ago, Kourosh was working on a new book title for APress about ASP.NET AJAX with two other authors. This book is Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX . My greetings to Kourosh for the new book and the great job that he has...

In my opinion the Nth rule of simplicity would be the simplicity of the internet URLs. One of things that I always attend to on any new web application is this and for me it's very important to have a site with simple and readable URLs. If we go back and forth and recall the history of the web, can believe that we've been moving forward in simplicity of the URLs in the time. Coming from the days of long URLs with many folders included and long queries to days with shorter URLs that try to...

Finally Microsoft released Silverlight 1.0 RTW and it supports Linux via Moonlight as a result of a partnership with Novell! Read the official press announcement here . As you know, Silverlight has been a common topic on .NET community since last year when Microsoft put a primary focus on it in Mix and provided several resources and samples. This new technology would be a major addition to Orcas and I'm happy to see another technology built on XAML! If you're looking for a good resource to...

Scott Guthrie has a great article about one of great features I've been waiting for that will be coming to Visual Studio 2008 ; Nested Master Page Designer support. Quite a few projects I have worked on use nested master pages ( CS included) so it will be great to finally be able to get a design view of them. Of course, with Visual Studio 2008's multi-targeting support , you will be able to use this great new feature with your existing ASP.NET 2.0 projects. Read More...

One of things that I wanted to add to new version of Nayyeri.NET was a blogroll. Community Server supports blogrolls out of the box but they're not easy to manage. Probably you can remember that I had written an OPML to Blogroll converter control for Community Server 2.0 but in fact it wasn't fast for large numbers of links. Dave had modified my control with a SQL server to avoid many iterations in APIs and had replaced them with direct SQL statements but finally he left that control like me. For...

I just saw this item on IIS community and could get my interest. Joy Of Code has done a great job on enhancing its XHTML validator component to an IIS 7.0 pipeline which validates XHTML output of a site. As Bill Staples has written on his blog, Joy Of Code had a component for ASP.NET which does this for ASP.NET pages but thank to new integrated pipelines feature in IIS 7.0, new validator works for all outputs (HTML, PHP, ...).

One of nice things about Windows Communication Foundation is its services can be hosted in IIS with an ASP.NET application with same virtual directory. This lets you to have a service for public usage and let your ASP.NET application to be its first client. In this implementation you share same configuration file for the service and ASP.NET application. In this post I walk through an example of hosting a Windows Communication Foundation service and ASP.NET application in same virtual directory. Write...

Today I made some changes in my ClientBlocker . This may be the last version of this HTTPModule and I won't update it anymore (because it doesn't need any features though). Using this HTTPModule you can block or trust on single IPs or a range of IPs and also use a free webservice to block site visitors based on their country. In addition to making some minor changes I simplified the source code and solved a major bug. Now it works brilliantly. Main changes in code logic have been applied here: #region...
