About ASP.NET MVC Source Code
Michael Schwarz
writes "...The license won't enable you to redistribute your patched version of ASP.NET MVC (Microsoft wants to avoid having multiple incompatible ASP.NET MVC versions floating around and colliding with each other). But it will enable developers who want to get started building ASP.NET MVC applications immediately to make progress - and not have to worry about getting blocked by an interim bug that they can't work around."

Silverlight 2 not working on Production Web Server
Michael Schwarz
writes " I got some questions about why is Silverlight 2 beta not working on my production Web server? Well, one of the most errors I found is the missing MIME type definition in IIS. Silverlight 2 doesn't compile a DLL as the beta 1.1 did. The new file extension is .XAB (hm, looks like .XBAB). The only thing you have to do is following step:"
Silverlight 2 has Sockets
Michael Schwarz
writes "The new beta of Silverlight 2 introduces Sockets. The security model enforced by the System.Net.Sockets namespace in Silverlight 2 allows for a connection only back to the site or host of origin.

.NET Micro Framework AJAX Library
Michael Schwarz
writes "If you are already familiar with AjaxPro you should be able to use it in seconds, as there is no real difference in how to use it compared with the Professional version. Well, the .NET Micro Framework has some restrictions like missing often used methods and classes (like StringBuilder, int.Parse,...). But this is no reason to not develop great Web enabled small devices that e.g. will control your home."
Using Class Libraries vs AjaxPro
Michael Schwarz
writes " ....The ASP.NET engine knows now that you want to include the class ClassLibrary1.Class1 into this file. Every requests initiated to this file will be processed from your source code in the Class library. Compare this with the RegisterTypeForAjax call in Page_Load when using AjaxPro."

Microsoft Download Center using Silverlight 1.0
Michael Schwarz
writes " I hope that Silverlight applications in the future make more use of the compressed-file downloaded feature in Silverlight. Some of the XAML files e.g. are not compressed, ok, it is still beta. Using the new Download Center feels very good, but keyboard support is missing totally....As far as I know there is no way to use screen readers for Silverlight applications right now."

Update Silverlight not working - Workaround
Michael Schwarz
writes " What you can do is to disable or remove the old Silverlight plugin. Another way to see the HTML version is to run following short JavaScript line in your address line of your Web browser...and open the Silverlight download page, wait until your Web browser shows that everything is downloaded, paste the JavaScript link in the address bar and hit Enter."
