www.asp.net website

How can we improve the www.asp.net website?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Seperate Forums

    Seperate the forums in asp.net for VB and C# because the amount of times you write VB.NET and get a C# reply when stating you want it in VB.NET

      • MVC 2/3 as complete NuGet package

        I can't seem to find a complete MVC 2/3 NuGet package and at the moment creating a VS2010 MVC project fetches assemblies local to the developer machine. This makes it difficult to move the solution to a build server without installing VS, which seems a bad idea.

          • Overview section should have dedicated content

            As I understand it, the Overview section should be the first thing the newcomer (me :) should read (if he doesn't want to view the video which I don't). But the Overview section is just a collection of links and for instance after reading the first 5 articles, I have read a description of a controller too many times. I think a dedicated content would be in place.

                  • Examples that include the use of Content Placeholders. How to use Java script and other controls.

                    Content Placeholder seems to act like barriers to some controls functioning as expected. It would be great to see more examples that show how to use java script and other controls when content placeholders are in use. Not just FindControl, but for example, retirieving Gridview content when there are multiple Master pages and the Gridview is manually coded. Or where to actually place Java/script to get it properly execute when content placeholders are on the page and the java must be placed in side.

                    • Ability to use tab to "highlight" the rows

                      Many of us use the tab key to rip through the topics on the main page, we can't tell which one is selected when tabbing through the items.

                        • Change to forum by publishing REST API

                          You definitely need to create a REST service to allow access to forum question in a programmatic way. That way we can have custom apps as well as Windows Phone 7 apps where we can read, post and update questions and answers.

                              There are times when I would like to go back and review some of my prior forum posts/questions. It would be nice to have a search feature that can be restricted to only me as the threads first posting person, as well as any thread I have posted to.

                                • Try viewing the website using a small screen i.e. laptop

                                  There are a lot of people who use laptop size screens, ie. 1200x900 etc and not 1920x1600 screens, try viewing the website on these smaller screens and optimize a bit. Om my laptop, half the screen is filled with fluff. Yes the images make sense but they take up a huge amount of vertical real estate on small screens. And yes, I tend to spend more of my time trying to learn new stuff i.e. visiting sites like this when sitting at home with my laptop than when at work using a larger monitor.

                                  • Improve tutorial section

                                    When ppl reached that section, it seems like only Razor tutorial. Should move MVC, Web forms, WebMatrix and etc in to a same places, so it will make ppl easier to learn & noticed what "technology & knowleadge" they should learn in one place. One more thing to share, is Web Pages 2 = WebMatrix 2, confused. Anyway i am not interested in WebMAtrix(Sorry!)

                                    • create a section with full website development lifecycle

                                      I would say, there should be a section, where people should go and learn how to build a complete website from start to end.

                                        • Better code editor window.

                                          When code is entered in the posting, if it ever needs to be edited, it seems the line breaks are stripped and the code becomes one long sentence. Or it may be split into multiple code boxes.
