I just discovered these: Pictures of the Web Services DevCon a whole bunch of us were at. 11:54:04 PM

Thanks to Sam Ruby for an answer on my VM on top of CLR confusion question. 11:09:39 PM

Up and running with Mono [StronglyTyped - Richard Caetano's weblog on software development] Great stuff!!! I plan on using this post as I try it this weekend. 8:37:04 PM

Welcome to a new .NET blogger! Jeroen Frijters is building a Java VM for .NET. Jeroen's plan is to JIT-convert .class files to CLR classes. Very cool idea, I wonder if it'll run Halycon's iNET (a .NET VM for Java :-) ). In any event, an interesting effort worth watching: rss-subscribed. On a separate note, what is equivalent of the "MS Flight Simulator" emulator compatibility test for Java VM's anyway?[Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog] Ok, I've seen this all day and I don't get it. Implementing Java on the CLR may be a good thing (for somebody somewhere) but what good is a VM on top of a better VM? If the CLR is a VM, and it is, why do you need another one on top? I must be confused about something because everyone seems to think this is great. What am I missing? 8:35:07 PM

Melbourne .NET User Group Hosts WDN RSS Feed. "MDNUG would like to thank Chris Sells for making the RSS feed freely available to the masses. We're too slack to write our own." [sellsbrothers.com: Windows Developer News] They have one for me here too. 8:30:01 PM

Microsoft has done a fairly poor job of marketing .NET and selling it short, prefering to pretty much equate it all with Web Services. Today, Microsoft finally took some significant steps towards promoting a significant part of .NET and one that many of us are much more interested in: Windows Forms in this announcement from Mike Harsh.The two big things were a full enhancement of WindowForms.net and running a DevLab in Redmond. This is exciting news and sparks hope that Microsoft will pay much more attention to the more important parts of .NET: Developer Productivity and WinForms. 8:26:00 PM

Microsoft's newly released SOAP Toolkit 3.0 Beta 1 proposes Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME) as a replacement for SOAP Messages with Attachments' MIME encoding. Download Visual Basic 6.0 and .NET versions of the DimeClient test project or try the ASP.NET Web service consumer 8:30:43 AM

What if you have bound data to a DataGrid, which has ID, name, address columns. But you want the key field as a href so that by clicking on the ID, you can take the user to another page where you can let him edit that record. The author explains how easily the ASP.NET DataGrid server control enables editing of records. 8:29:04 AM

Its primary goal is to provide a overview of the options we have in ASP.NET, and to provide tips and tricks that would normally take 1000+ pages of technical reading. The code base will eventually be up for grabs in about a week or so for those of you who are curious. This is cool if done right, 8:26:58 AM
