New time saving features for Web projects in Visual Studio 11 Beta

March 1, 2012 in Articles, News, Reference, Visual Studio

In planning for the next release of Visual Studio, streamlining the development process was a high priority.  In this vein we are proud to announce two new features in Visual Studio 11 Beta that simplify and improve the development experience: setting the default browser from the toolbar, and quickly adding new items to your project from the context menu. Set Default Browser from the Toolbar While Visual Studio has always allowed you to change the default browser used for viewing pages and debugging via the Browse With dialog, it is now a simpler process with the new toolbar support. In the standard web toolbar next to the run button, you can now see what the default browser is currently set to, in this case Internet Explorer. When you…(read more)

Asynchronous File Upload using ASP.NET Web API

March 1, 2012 in Articles, ASP.NET, MVC, News, Reference

HTML Form File upload (defined in RFC 1867 ) is a classic mechanism for uploading content to a Web server and is supported by all browsers that I am aware of. This blog shows how to handle Form File Upload in ASP.NET Web API asynchronously using the Task-based pattern introduced in .NET 4 and enhanced in .NET 4.5. Using ASP.NET Web API you can upload files of any size when self hosted (well, up to System.Int64.MaxValue which in practice is “any size”).

Leaving the Evil Empire

TL;DR: I’m leaving Microsoft to found my own company . My involvement in Orchard continues unchanged. It’s been almost nine years. Nine years at Microsoft, first as a developer, and then as a program manager. I’ve worked on ASP.NET versions 2.0 to 4.0, ASP.NET Ajax, Ajax Control Toolkit, then on integrating jQuery into the Microsoft developer’s toolbox, and of course, on Orchard. I’ve made mistakes, errors of judgment, but I like to think I’ve learned a lot along the way, that my blog has helped many who were learning or struggling with the technology, and that I’ve built a few really cool things. Most of all, I’ve changed. When I got hired by Scott Guthrie et al. , Microsoft was for me the Mecca of software development, the place where the…(read more)
