DevConnections 2009

Thanks to everybody who showed up at the talk that Simon Calvert and I gave on an overview of ASP.NET 4 Webforms!  Your participation and feedback were much appreciated, and as promised, I’ve attached the demo that Simon and I built live, as well as the slide deck, to this post.  For those of you who missed it, the talk gives an overview of the SEO/Routing improvements, XHTML 1.1 compliance, ClientID control, ViewState reduction, CSS improvements, Microsoft Ajax Preview 6 updates, Dynamic Data in 4.0, QueryExtender, and the Chart Control.  There was a lot to cover in an hour :).  For those who went to the Ajax talk I did with James Senior, here’s a link to the Preview 6 download directly with the samples.  Enjoy the demos and deck, note that the demos require VS 2010 Beta 2, which you can get here.  NOTE: The demos attached to this post need you to drop your own copy of the NorthwindDatabase and the AspNet DB (the AspNET DB is in the default ASP.NET 4 templates).  I ran into an upload file size limitation on community server.  If you would like the full demo with the databases I have a RapidShare link here.  Note that the admin user/password is Jim/aspNET
