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".

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. pull data from various social sources

    a twitter feed that searches for asp.net topics. top or new asp.net stack overflow questions.

    a section on new nuget packages or updates.

    have some kind of rep system for voting on articles and writing styles of community content.

    pull data in from ohloh on .NET OSS projects.

    create spaces for .NET user groups and allow users to search for these groups.

    bring some xbox love to the site. Allow a way for developers to connect and play each other online form teams. Then maybe have some redmond groups take on some of the .NET user groups or other dev…

            • 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.

              • 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.

                  • Samples that integrate master pages

                    On many occasions I have discovered samples and even videos that present excellent content and functionality of ASP technologies. What I later find out is that the solutino or samples were not implemented, for example in some cases, with the use of a master page, or master page within a master page. And in order to get anything to work from the sample multi layers of control searches are required. I'm not sure how to over come this but perhaps some brain-storming would reveal some method to clearly understand that a sample project or video is not intend for use…

                    • Background graphic on 27-30" monitors

                      When I maximize the browser on a 27" 2560 px wide monitor it looks like a rather abrupt drop off in the background image.

                        • ASP.NET CUSTOMERS

                          I don't find it relevant to have ASP.NET customers section in the Get Started especially taking a big part of the page.

                                • 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.

                                      • hi asp.net webforms tutorial first project

                                        "We'll select the Visual C# / Web Templates group on the left, then choose the "ASP.NET MVC 2 Empty Web Application" template in the center column. Name your project MvcMusicStore and press the OK button." this is wrong.

                                        "We’ll select the Visual C# / Web Templates group on the left, and then choose the “ASP.NET Web Application” template in the center column. Name your project Tailspin Spyworks and press the OK button" this is true.

                                        • Fix the PasswordRecovery example

                                          http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/Membership/PasswordRecovery.aspx

                                          It is currently crashing when clicking the "Go" button with username 'fred'.

                                          Thanks for looking into this.
