One scenario that many large development teams often ask me about is whether it is possible to split up/partition an ASP.NET web application into multiple projects within Visual Studio.  The goal with doing this is typically to improve the modularity of large sites and/or to improve the IDE compile-time performance for large projects.

Earlier this week the Windows Live team released the new Windows Live Writer blog posting and management tool that you can download and use for free.  It is a desktop application that provides a really nice editing environment for writing blog posts (spell checker, layout manager, offline editing support, etc). 

I’m about to take off for a whirlwind business trip the next 10 days – and email and blog comment responses will unfortunately be very slow while I'm away.

Problem: You are developing/maintaining an ASP.NET web-site, and would like the ability to conditionally show/hide runtime error messages depending on who the user visiting the site is.

Below are some nice articles and links I’ve found on the web over the last week that I enjoyed, and recommend setting aside some time to consider reading:

The Arizona .NET User's Group has one really big meeting every year, and I've been fortunate to have been invited to come out and speak again for this year's event.  It will be held all day Wednesday September 6th at the Orpheum theater in Phoenix, Arizona.  I’ll be on stage for a little over 3 hours total, and topics I'll be covering include ASP.NET 2.0 Tips and Tricks, IIS 7.0, Atlas, LINQ/LINQ for SQL and more.

The Atlas team recently shipped a new Atlas July CTP that contains a number of bug-fixes.  You can download it off of the http://atlas.asp.net/ web-site (like all Atlas CTPs it supports a go-live license).

Several people have sent me email lately asking for a suggested short-list of my best/favorite past blog posts to read (I’ve done 200 posts over the last 12 months and apparently it takes too long to read them all <g>).
