ASP.NET design time integration

Chan — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:45:34 GMT

Hi,
May I have any reference of doing ASP.NET design time integration?
I found that most articles about this topic are for WinForm app. Is it the same as ASP.NET?
I also found a VS 2005 article that mentioned we need to use XSD to defined object properties in order HTML view able to use it for "intellisense". However, I used to have few properties that able to be listed in intellisense property list even define XSD.

I feel a bit confuse here. Therefore, I would like have the "correct" reference.

Thank you

Hi,
Any plan to include online session for Asia users? Flying to US from my country is quite costly.

Thank you

[quote]So, have you guys consider an advanced application development class that might cover something like this (plus other more advanced stuff)? I'd be very interested! [/quote]

Yeah, this would be some good material. We have really expanded the class since you came, but this would be a good Tips and Tricks on the advanced side of things.

"A little more" than if you hit your thumb with a hammer I'm betting! ;)

I assume that you are referring to creating type editors or creating an Add-In for ASP.NET. In this case, it really isn't much different than developing for a WinForm app. All of this is done within the design-time environment (DTE) which is actually quite powerful. Your first add-in will make you swear a little :D, but once you get past some of the learning curves it really is a nice internal tool to build on.

As for me posting a sample here, this is more like an entire training session. The first place that I would start would be creating a .NET add-in and learn to use the DTE tools (EnvDte8, etc.). Another way to interface with the DTE in a development environment is to create a Macro. These are useful as well and do not require as much "Upstart" cost in regards to creating the assemblies.
