Please see this InteropWarriors blog for a new post with code samples demonstrating WS* interop.

Glad to see everyone last night at this presentation, it was quite enjoyable, great questions from the audience as well which always makes my day! Here's the link to the site with access to my slide deck and other resources:

http://www.dotnetdashboard.net/resources/scalability.aspx

You can get the Enterprise Services sample from there, and a reference to my article which provide more detail. In addition, I demonstrated some asynchronous handler examples, but I found a great article from Fritz Onion on the subject, so here's the link to his article with access to his samples for the article, that will be even more detailed from that I demonstrated:

If you are new to handlers, check out my handlers page, with reference to some other articles I've written as well:

Enjoy!

For the first time, UCSD Extension will be offering the official IDesign Master Class curriculum:

http://www.idesign.net/idesign/links/classes/master.aspx

This is the most thorough .NET training content around, with plenty of useful samples in the code library, not to mention tools to help you get started with your next application. 

You can check out the registration schedule here:

If you attended the 1 day tutorial I presented at VS Connections you have probably been waiting for my site to be back up to get your resources. In fact, the conference will post all of my code samples up on the conference site by this Monday. So, I will be sure and updated this entry with the link you need to get all that good stuff!!!

If you were up at 8am for this session at VS Connections, I hope you had a coffee first because we covered a lot of ground! My resources for this talk are on this site:

http://www.dotnetdashboard.net/resources/wse.aspx

Some of my new code samples I showed you in the talk have been written with WSE SP2 (pre-release version), so I'll post those shortly once the service pack is public. Should be very very soon.

Also, you'll notice my DIME example on this site is pre SP1, I am working on an article to discuss the specifications around attachments, and will compare DIME with SwA for interoperability between platforms. Stay tuned for an update there. (this was not part of the security session, of course)

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk at VS Connections this week in Vegas, despite the temptation to hit the Casino instead! You may have noticed my site was actually down all week, I had to move it to a new location, and I thank you for your patience.

Here's the link to my Versioning and Deployment Resource page which you may have already visited (that site wasn't down). I have updated the site with new content, however, so check it own again and let me know if you have any questions.

Also, don't forget to check out the slides for my talk, there are many links in there to other resources.

Nostrovia!

I recently wrote up an article that discusses best practices for versioning and deployment of .NET components. In the article, and in my sessions on this subject I emphasize code access security, running with least privilege, versioning issues, publisher policies and more. Check it out here: http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/041103.htm

On a related resource page, you can find the tutorial I wrote for the code sample: http://www.dotnetdashboard.net/sessions/versiondeploy.aspx

This month, you can expect an article explaining .NET runtime security and sandboxing.

Cheers!

Hey everyone, I recently updated my localization resources page with the latest links to my articles, webcasts and code. Let me know if you want to see more!

http://www.dotnetdashboard.net/sessions/globalization.aspx

Look to this page first for updates to any of my article code, for example. I periodically updated my way of thinking about a problem, so this page will always have my latest best practices.

Just wanted to mention that the Interop Warriors are at it again. We have a number of events coming soon that we're beginning to prepare for, and we'll be showing off our latest in San Diego at this FREE event. For more information, check this out:

This whitepaper is finally live and you will not believe how cool the new localization features are for ASP.NET 2.0, I'm duly impressed with the new integrated IDE support for resources, and in particular with the extensibility of localization expressions. Peaked your interest? Read it here:

I really enjoyed working with Achim Ruopp and Simon Calvert of the localization team at Microsoft on this paper. They were a fantastic resource for getting me up to speed on the underpinnings of the new localization features of ASP.NET 2.0. I could not have written this paper with as much detail without some insider feedback so I really have to thank you guys for answering all of my detailed questions and for all the time you took to give comprehensive feedback during each review cycle. Thanks guys!

Resources for this webcast today can be found here:

http://www.dotnetdashboard.net/sessions/handlers.aspx

The webcast starts at 9:00am PT, you can register online (see a few blog posts ago).

For today's webcast, my resource page is:

I have new samples to post here, and shortly a whitepaper on ASP.NET 2.0 localization features, so keep an eye on this link for changes in the next few weeks!
