• Will there ever be a chance to have a redistributable WYSIWYG HTML editor component from Microsoft as a spin-off from the VS.NET editor?
  
  I love to use the MSHTML editing capabilities in my Windows Forms applications, just looking for something more modern with more features.
  
  Would love to pay money for something like that!
  

• Thanks for the LinkList! It had been quite some time since you compiled one. Hope you do it more often!
  

• Hi Scott,
  
  Thanks for the links, I hope to see a Windows Azure category soon!
  

• Precompiling Razor views are excellent. I wish this come within VS.NET before deploying. Are there any plans for this?
  

• Thanks, Scott and the team, for always updating us with some nice stuffs.
  

• I thought in your last link listing series you said you'd do something new (other than ASP.Net or EF) - No SL, WPF or even WP7? Guess this is becoming a Marketing blog...
  

• Thank you for your links they are very useful.
  

• Welcome back, Scott,
  
  Surprised to see no links for Windows Azure Platform posts.
  
  Cheers,

• @Eugene : I don't think they are going to reveal anything before the BUILD! event in September. I think multiple folks at MSFT has made this pretty clear! It's just 2 months away so why not wait patiently!
  
  Personally I believe because of ARM based port, .NET is the most important part of Microsoft development. It allows developers to run same app into different platforms via JIT. So I don't think there's anything to worry about. If anything we must be happy that we will get the IPAD crowds to Windows World.

• The great post from Scott Hanselman (Globalization, Internationalization and Localization in ASP.NET MVC 3) is just great. I just want to make sure that you (ScottGu) knows that any MVC 3 application created using default validation settings (ClientValidationEnabled=true) and default globalization settings (culture=the same as server; uiCulture=the same as server) will not work in Germany, Italy, Poland etc.
  
  Why?
  Example: server require: 123,45 value but client validation require 123.45. Server returns string 123,45 as the value, but when I want to edit this value and change to 123,44 then I see "The field foo must be a number." (client validation). When I try to enter 123.44 I see "The value '123.44' is not valid for foo." (server validation - server expects 123,44)
  
  So if my server use pl-PL culture (or it-IT etc.) I just must spend two days searching Internet and trying to adopt Scott Hanselman's tips (which are not so simple) to allow users entering decimal value.
  
  Internationalization should be some additional step not the first step. Please test MVC applications on different cultures with different globalization settings and with different browser settings and do something with number validation which only works in English (and similar) numbers:
  
  // http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/number
  number: function(value, element) {
  return this.optional(element) || /^-?(?:\d+|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})+)(?:\.\d+)?$/.test(value);
  },
  

• Very good links, first for all test MVC applications on different cultures with different globalization settings as usual very informative in knowing the latest happenings!
  

• Really good link list. Thanks for sharing.
