I've been a longtime ASP.NET developer in the web forms model, and am using a new project as an opportunity to get my feet wet with ASP.NET MVC. The application will need an API so that a group of other apps can communicate with it. I've always built API's out just using a standard web service prior to this. As a sidenote, I'm a littl...
What is the best way to return XML from a controller's action in ASP.NET MVC? There is a nice way to return JSON, but not for XML. Do I really need to route the XML through a View, or should I do the not-best-practice way of Response.Write-ing it? ...
We will need to call out to a 3rd party to retrieve a value using REST, however if we do not receive a response within 10ms, I want to use a default value and continue processing. I'm leaning towards using an asynchronous WebRequest do to this, but I was wondering if there was a trick to doing it using a synchronous request. Any advice...

The .NET web system I'm working on allows the end user to input HTML formatted text in some situations. In some of those places, we want to leave all the tags, but strip off any trailing break tags (but leave any breaks inside the body of the text.) What's the best way to do this? (I can think of ways to do this, but I'm sure they're ...
Haven't done ASP.NET development since VS 2003, so I'd like to save some time and learn from other's mistakes. Writing a web services app, but not a WSDL/SOAP/etc. -- more like REST + XML. Which of the many "New Item" options (Web Form, Generic Handler, ASP.NET Handler, etc.) makes the most sense if I want to handle different HTTP ve...
Can I run ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 code on the same website? ...or, do I need to separate them by applications, and/or servers? ...
I need to build a prototype for an intranet website, and I want to focus on usability (layout, navigability, etc) and leave the theme for later (I have very bad taste, so this will probably be done by someone else) I know about ASP.NET's capability of switching themes instantly, but how do I have to design the WebForms for it to be easy...
Wrong answer was autoselected by the stupid bounty system. I'm using front page extensions to interact with SharePoint Services 3.0 as described here. In most samples I have seen the client simply looks for particular English strings in the result and uses that to determine if an error has occurred. However, I am writing an application...

This post is similar to this previously asked question. I really want to set up my SVN repository in TTB format, but when creating a project in Visual Studio 2008 (ASP.NET/VB.NET), the structure created tends to be incompatible when considering the solution file, project files, folders for projects, multiple projects within solutions, e...
I've been using the macro from this blog entry for attaching the Visual Studio debugger to an already running instance of the Web Application I'm currently working on. However, if I have more than one instance of the Visual Studio web server running it's pot luck which one it'll attach to. Is there a way to determine what port is config...
A customer of ours has Quickbooks 2005 and is looking to have their web data (orders, customers, tax) sent as it is collected from the web in a format that can be imported into Quickbooks 2005 Pro. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, what was your experience, and what component/method would you recommend for importing t...
I have been working on a ImageRotator control and finished weeding out any oddities with it tonight, and it works great. However, there is one thing that is bugging me with it. It doesn't display anything at design time (I just get the image placeholder). I have been Googling, and came across a good article from Rick Strahl (as always),...

We have a .NET 2.0 application which we normally run on IIS6, and used to run fine on IIS7, but recently after installing SP1 for Vista IIS7 seems to be choking on a line in the Web.Config file: <system.web AllowLocation="true"> Is it safe to remove the AllowLocation attribute? What does this attribute do? ...
Is there a way to tell if an event handler has been added to an object? I'm serializing a list of objects into/out of session state so we can use SQL based session state... When an object in the list has a property changed it needs to be flagged, which the event handler took care of properly before. However now when the objects are des...
