This past Wednesday, June 25th 2008, I did a presentation titled “Building High Performance ASP.NET Web Applications” to the Bay Area Association of Database Developers (BAADD). Through out the presentation, I showed an application in Visual Studio 2008. I’m including that project file here as well as the power point slides used in the demonstration.

After adding the RSS feed to our Silicon Valley Code Camp Web site I noticed that the feed was not discoverable by Internet Explorer. That is, the little RSS Icon on the toolbar was not finding it.

Introduction
This article shows how to create a modal windows (not a popup) that displays a login windows (asking for username and password) in the middle of whatever asp.net page you are viewing. It uses the Telerik Modal Radwindow control. At the end of a successful login, the login dialog redirects the web user to some page designated by the author. It requires no Javascript programming by the programmer. Just simple method calls in the asp.net page.

Last month, Michael Scherotter, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist and Silverlight expert did a great 2 day even in San Francisco on Silverlight. His aim was to focus on designer, but as a developer, I like to see how the other half thinks. Seemed like about 30 people were there and I’d say everyone got good stuff from it. I had never met Michael before but have been a regular reader of his blog. One of the things I really liked was that Mike seemed to have a great handle from both the dev side (like me) and the designer side. His focus was around Expression Blend 2.5 Turns out he is an real architect (builds buildings not code) by training and from what I know, that brings a discipline into design that is similar to the way us Dev’s think.

This year I had the opportunity to work in the Microsoft MVP Community meeting place (next to the wireless community center) as a game show host, computer runner of the questions, general answer person as well as just hanging out with the gang. I have to admit it was very fun. Turns out I was much better at running the computer than being the game show host, but after 4 days this, I realized I had not hosted one game. Today (Friday) things changed. Just before leaving for the airport I got my chance.
Below are pictures taken by Terry showing my solo performance. No one got any questions right. We were forced into a tie breaker. The first tie breaking question (what color was Spok’s blood) was answered incorrectly. The second question, what color was George Washington’s white horse was fortunately answered correctly. Otherwise, I might still be there.
