PageMethods updates for VS 2003 and VS 2005

New versions of PageMethods have been released:

1) PageMethods for VS 2005 version 1.6.2

This version provides the following improvements:

  • Improved build performance for the Web Site project model
  • Improved support for the Web Application model
  • Generated methods are now hidden from the debugger (no step into)
  • The add-in is now registered through COM to avoid the problems with the .addin files

2) PageMethods for VS 2003 version 1.6.1

Some of you may have already noticed that a new version for Visual Studio 2003 had been released. This version contains new features an improvements that already existed in the version for VS 2005:

  • Added the ability to use the base namespace of your choice instead of MyPageMethods
  • Added the ability to call an external web site by importing its list of page methods
  • Added support for HTTP POST
  • Added some code to keep Intellisense (code completion) more in sync with your modifications
  • Generated methods are now described in an XML file (PageList.xml)
  • Generated methods are now hidden from the debugger (no step into)

Please update your version. Please uninstall the previous version first.
You can download PageMethods at http://metaSapiens.com/PageMethods

Reminders:

The next steps are to work on version 2.0 and the Professional edition.
More work in the pipe for me :-)

  • This is a cool idea! I'd like to see this built directly into ASP.net 3.0...or at least a basic version of it. Maybe your idea will catch on! I may try using this for a project and see how it goes. Thanks for the hard work!

  • Thanks Michael!

    Let me know how it works out for you. I'd like to get as much feedback as possible. Suggestions on how the experience could be improved are welcome...
