Teched 09: my report

After being for the first time at a Micrsoft TechEd event, I’m home again and it is time for some kind of report. “Ich bin ein Berliner” It must be one of the biggest cities in Europe and I must say I was impressed. I have tried to visit a lot of things during my […]

I’m glad I followed this session, because Donald Farmer is a great speaker in the first place. He can entertain his public perfectly by using metaphors […]

Teched 09: Day #1

My first day in Berlin was really exciting.

(David Chapell) I previously planned another session, but a colleague said […]

ASP.NET Ajax AsyncFileUpload: some thoughts

The latest release of the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit (30930) now contains an AsyncFileUpload control. The big advantage of this control is that you can upload files without a full page refresh (as in the original FileUpload control), showing the users direct feedback on the page. I wanted to use the new control to let […]
