I’ve gotten a few questions recently about the availability of VPCs with more recent builds (than Beta 2). Brian Kelly has come to the rescue in his typical style. He’s put together some VPCs with the Release Candidate on them. They also have some sample data so that you don’t have to create it yourself to see ho...

Well, it seems the last post wasn’t too controversial. Let me try something that might be a bit more controversial. Heck, it might even get some people down right agitated with me but that’s OK, disagreement is a useful tool to drive clarity and understanding. I don’t like Test Driven Development. I don’t j...
I figured I’d start the series with a more abstract post about what watching me code looks like. It was interesting to observe myself doing it because I didn’t really realize the degree to which I do some things. If I were to summarize my overall approach to coding with a simple description, I’d call it “Annealin...

This is the first post in a series I’ve decided to write on my Programming Practices. I’m not trying to say everyone has to do it the way I do it but I figured it might be interesting to talk about how I do it and have some fun, if sometimes controversial, discussions about it. A little before Christmas, when I decided that I real...

The most commonly reported/voted for Connect bugs in the Release candidate had to do with the ASP.NET designer not auto generating controls properly - it would sometimes just omit them. Very frustrating if you are trying to use it. We've just release a patch (the 3rd RC patch in total) to address this set of issues. You can read m...
We had a number of reports about Intellisense crashes soon after the RC was released. After much investigation, the vast majority of reports have boiled down to two issues. We released a patch for the more common of the two a week or so ago. We've just released a patch for the second and customers who have tried the two patches ar...
