Hello, I'm   Jason

My MSDN Code Camp presentations and code samples are available for download on my website at http://www.jasongaylord.com/talks. The samples and slides were written for Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2. The talks include an Introduction to Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0, Membership for ASP.NET 2.0, Personalization for ASP.NET 2.0, and Web Parts for ASP.NET 2.0.

If you have a large ASP.NET website, you may want to turn off compilation of your non-code ASP.NET pages. You can do this by setting the CompilationMode property of the Page directive to Never. If you aren’t in the mood to check all pages, let ASP.NET decide. In the web.config file, set the CompilationMode property in the <pages /> section to Auto. This will allow ASP.NET to evaluate each page and decide whether or not it should be compiled.

Microsoft has issued a list of applications that are compatible with Windows Server 2003 SP1 and a list of applications that have some issues. You can view this list by visiting http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;896367&spid=3198.

A user requested that their Windows folders all appeared in the Detail format. Many IT users like to see each folder they browse to appear in List format. To set this, open up a folder and choose View > List. Then click on Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and click the button Apply to All Folders. Its a simple task, but an annoyance to those who prefer to have their folders a certain way.

This event will feature 15 SQL and Data Access talks from some of the top SQL professionals including some Microsoft MVPs. The event will also host many other talks including ASP.NET and Windows Forms presentations. It will be chilly this weekend so you might as well come on out!

A little while ago, I blogged about some issues with uninstalling SQL 2005. Finally, Microsoft has published an uninstallation “script.” Find out more by visiting http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/uninstall/.

The new ASP.NET 2.0 starter kits have been published. You can download the ASP.NET 2.0 starter kits at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/vwd/starterkit/default.aspx.

To use these starter kits you must have ASP.NET 2.0 downloaded.
