Are we Going Live?

Yup, we are. The buzz from Redmond indicates clearly a February 2005 time frame for ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2, complete with a GO LIVE license! I, for one, have been holding off, but with this new good news, I'm getting ready to put together some really good ASP.NET code with version 2.0 that ties together everything I've learned in the last 4 years with the highly successful eggheadcafe.com, plus everything I"ve learned as an MVP and from studying with the beta. However, I've also learned that I don't have a lock on all the good ideas, and to really make a site "sing" you need more than "one guy" to run it.

If you are an intermediate to advanced level ASP.NET developer, and you have some ideas about a really good developer-oriented site and would like to partner, contact me and let's discuss at bbromberg-at-cfl-dot-rr-dot-com.


This is the kind of stuff that takes at least two developers to run, and there's plenty of money in it if it's done right. If you have an idea and we don't have a meeting of the minds, you can trust that you and your concept will be protected.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention -- in addtion to being an ASP.NET developer par excellence, you must be literate and motivated enough to generate new, original content in the form of articles, code snippets, tips and tricks, and commentary.

Some observations on Script Callbacks, "AJAX", "ATLAS" "AHAB" and where it's all going.

I've taken a more than cursory interest in the whole Remote Scripting (.NET species) vs. AJAX and now ATLAS discussion, mostly because I started using Remote Scripting since Microsoft first released it, and because I continued to refine it after seeing Brent Ashley's excellent work with JSRS, which was one of the first "real" cross-browser solutions back in 2000 (that's the turn of the Century for you history buffs). Now Bertrand Leroy, a Microsoft guy whose work I like , has authored some very interesting ASP.NET 2.0 script callback stuff that he points to on his blog, and he is obviously (at least, to me he is) involved quite heavily in the development of this new ATLAS infrastructure that they'll preview at PDC. Leroy's most recent post brings to the surface what I agree are the major differences between the "AJAX a - la .NET" approach as popularized by Michael Swartz with his AJAX.NET library, and Leroy's RefreshPanel, the ASP.NET 2.0 b

IE7 - Vista: "Internet Explorer has stopped Working"

Image
This one was a bitch. All of a sudden for no reason at all, out of the blue, I get this dialog "internet Explorer has stopped working". I didn't install any new software, crap- I didn't do anything! So here I am using FIREFART to go on the internet and find out what to do! Damn! Good thing I've got the sucker on the same machine (I'm not "anti-Firefox", i just don't use it that much except to check my page renderings). The Fix The fix (at least for me): 1) Go into Control Panel, and choose "Internet Options". 2) Under the "Advanced" tab, press the "RESET" button at the lower right: Don't ask me why this happens, or why the fix works. That's a BUG, D00D - I don't care how you slice it!

FIREFOX / IE Word-Wrap, Word-Break, TABLES FIX

One of the most annoying things a developer (who would normally delight in writing code, not futzing with markup) can have is getting rendering issues between different browsers. The two biggest players are of course Internet Exploder and Firefart (as I lovingly like to refer to each). In most cases that's going to take care of 98 percent of your total site traffic. IE has had a proprietary "word-break" style attribute for a long time, and this made it into the CSS 3.0 spec. But that doesn't necessarily help you with Firefox right now. Firefox literally - (and I consider this completely idiotic, since it's been in their bug database for FIVE YEARS) does not have a reliable CSS style element to force table cell content to break in the middle of a word in order to stop the content from expanding your table / div off the page or over other content on the page. Here's a partial fix, which will work for most tables and browsers. The style declaration (I call it m
