I came across to a really strange problem today. Some extension methods that I have copied from another project just did not want to be compiled at all.
’string’ does not contain a definition for ‘MethodName’.
I have checked everything, including clearing the temporary ASP.NET files within framework folder (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\…), restarting Visual Studio and even restarting the OS. The target framework of the projects were all set to 3.5 as well. But unfortunately, nothing helped. Finally, when I compared what kind of configuration I could be missing from web.config, I have found out the missing (and the killer) part.
If you have a similar problem, try adding the following configuration section in your project’s web.config file.
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
<providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/>
</compiler>
</compilers>
</system.codedom>

Community made a great job this month. Microsoft MVPs have localized Team System Web Access (TSWA) into 7 new languages. With support of Microsoft Turkey, Hakan Eskici (TSWA Program Manager), Tufan Erdinc, we have built the Turkish language pack. The full list of language packs are below.
To download any of the language packs that you are interested in, visit Team System Web Access Localization Project on CodePlex.

ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 Preview 1 was released on July 21.
This release contains a preview version of the following features (that are also described in our Roadmap document: http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14924):
* Client-side template rendering
* Declarative instantiation of behaviors and controls
* DataView control
* Markup extensions
* Bindings
One good news for JSON lovers, this is from release notes:
In the next version of ASP.NET AJAX, we plan on enabling new client-side data scenarios for both page and component developers. You will be able to get JSON data from the server and present it as HTML on the client in a highly manageable and performant way.

I think I could not have found a better subject. Our first book written by Turkish MVPs is published now!
First of all, I want to thank everybody from Microsoft Turkey and Turkish MVPs who supported us for the whole project time.
And even though I am not really successful with translating names, it is something like “The Most Valuable Experiences To The Way of Solution By Turkish MVPs”. Indeed, it is a long one.
Unfortunately, the book does not have an English version. So, the rest of the post is in Turkish for Turkish readers.
Türkçe olarak da desteği bulunan herkese teşekkür etmekle başlamak istiyorum. Çiğdem Akın, Mehmet Emre, Baransel Doğan, Kadir Çamoğlu, tüm editörler ve tüm yazarlara. Hep birlikte böyle bir projeden alnımızın akıyla çıkmak son derece mutluluk verici. Devamı dilekleriyle…

I had a cool weekend in Borovec (somewhere an hour away from Sofia) with community guys/girls from Bulgaria. My session was about Web Client Software Factory. Sorry for not writing earlier and inviting, I will be more careful with my sessions in the future.

Some of you might have already realized that DataPager does its job only if you use a DataSource control. For instance, if you want to set a ListView’s DataSource property in page’s Load event and expect DataPager control to successfully page the ListView control, it means that you will need to spend your hours to find why it does not work.
Even though I still can’t figure out why it does not work, here is the workaround. Just create a DataSource control (e.g.: LinqDataSource) control just with “ID” and “runat” properties and then hook the “Selecting” event. Also set the ListView’s “DataSourceID” property to the ID of the DataSource control. What you will do there is to set the “Result” property of the SelectEventArgs argument.
<asp:LinqDataSource ID="LinqDataSource1" runat="server" OnSelecting="LinqDataSource1_Selecting">
</asp:LinqDataSource>
protected void LinqDataSource1_Selecting(object sender, LinqDataSourceSelectEventArgs e)
{
e.Result = GetDataSource(); // Assuming that GetDataSource method returns the datasource.
}
Now you can save your hours.
