Building ASP.NET\/AJAX with Visual Studio 2008 <\/strong>by Daryl Rasmussem <\/p>\n AJAX is now built into ASP.NET with Visual Studio 2008 \u2013 and because there\u2019s no separate download to install, the fully integrated nature of AJAX gives you better separation of the code from the design, and the generated Javascript and HTML is cross browser compatible, including support for both FireFox and Opera. <\/p>\n In this presentation, we will use a real world development scenario to explore the following AJAX techniques in Visual Studio 2008: <\/p>\n \u00b7 Partial Page Rendering and the use of Update Panels <\/p>\n \u00b7 Using the UpdateProgress control <\/p>\n \u00b7 Using Control Extenders from the AJAX Toolkit <\/p>\n \u00b7 Creating a new Extender Control <\/p>\n \u00b7 Working with web services – from both server and client side code <\/p>\n To C# 3.0… and Beyond<\/strong> by James Kovacs<\/p>\n C# 3.0 introduces lambda expressions, extension methods, automatic properties, and a host of other features. We will look at where C# is today, where it is going tomorrow, and what ideas we can borrow from languages like F# and Ruby to improve our C# code. Plus find out the real reason for the new “var” keyword.<\/p>\n
