The ASP.NET Podcast Show #8 has just hit the streets. (Downunder Edition)

You might have already seen a post from Wally about a new book that Wally, Scott Cate and myself will be working on about AJAX and related technologies. I am really pumped about this and am looking forward to writing about all things AJAX.

In my previous post, I talked about creating custom FXCop rules for the latest (1.32) versaion of FXCop and a template/example project library that I have made available to ease that process.

Recently I needed to create a set of custom FXCop rules and started playing with the latest version, which is currently 1.32. It quickly became apparent that things were not as easy as taking a quick look at the SDK, implementing an example, modifying to suit and away we go. For a start, most of the documentation still revolves around the old 'Reflection' engine, and the current version uses a new 'Introspection' engine. So that fact, and I imagine a couple of others, means the API has changed from previous versions. Recently, John Robbins wrote a bugslayer article on writing custom FXCop rules for version 1.30.

Another ASP.NET podcast has hit the streets, this time an interview with Rob Howard, by Buddy Lindsey.

There are 2 sample chapters from David Pallman's upcoming "Programming Indigo" book available on MSDN that are very interesting and informative.

I notice Charles Sterling has posted an agenda for the Australian TechEd this year on his blog. For those interested Aussies, go and have a look. I am listed as doing a presentation with Dave Glover which is the very last one on the last day of the conference. Looks like we'll have to come up with something special to keep people entertained seeing as its at the very end. Maybe we could both shave our heads and..... oh wait, we have already done that. Hmm, gotta think of something else...

I was doing a presentation for the Sydney Deep .Net User Group (SDNUG) last thursday on the Asynchronous Client Script callback features in ASP.NET V2.0 and had some interesting problems using Virtual PC.
