Explained: EF 6 and “Could not determine storage version; a valid storage connection or a version hint is required.”
I have a legacy ASP.NET 3.5 web site that I’ve upgraded to a .NET 4 web application. At the same time, I upgraded to Entity Framework 6.

Web Development Goes Pre-Visual InterDev
As a longtime and hardcore ASP.NET webforms developer, I’m finding the new client-side development world a bit of a grind. I love learning new technologies, but I can’t help feeling we’ve regressed and lost our old RAD advantage as we move heavy lifting to the client.

A Small World in ASP.NET–NimblePros Acquired by Telerik

Standout Component Vendor: Telerik
I guess we all like it when others validate our opinions. I was part of Visual Studio Magazine’s “Editor’s Choice” panel this year. My choice for Top Component Vendor was Telerik and I added this:

The Importance of Using !important in CSS Styles
I just lost time trying to hide a CSS border in a third-party control, so it’s worth a quick post to help others avoid similar frustration.

Fixing the ‘Telerik.WebControls.GridInsertionObject does not contain a property’ Error
I really like working with the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX controls. However, I keep forgetting about a problem in the RadGrid that occurs when trying to add a new record using EntityDataSource. If there aren’t any records yet, and you click Add Record, you often get this:
