How much of the project is now complete?

Thank you!

Nice to hear there will be ajax implemented. I always thought it should be common feature of all forums years ago. As I am not aware of any other major forum that has done it before, I guess you are among pioneers in this aera, congrats!

(and sorry for some annoying posts... if you noticed them. It's nice to know C9 team is doing all right .   Anyway keep the good work)

Channel 9 team,
 
Would you share with us how you are getting rid of the ViewState? Is this more like Channel 10 where you render controls through WebServices?

I recently started working on VirtualPathProvider (VPP) and am trying to get my head around it. I saw the old channel 9 video in which you guys discussed VPP. Can someone tell me if I am on the right path. I am creating a simple blog engine just to figure out VPP. Here's what I have done so far.

BlogPathProvider.cs extends VirtualPathProvider, in the GetFile method I have a bunch of regular expression patterns that I match against path parameter of the GetFile method. If I find a match I return a new VirtualBlogFile (my custom class) to which I pass the pattern and the screen type (this is figured out based on the pattern that matched).

VirtualBlogFile.cs extends VirtualFile, in the Open method I identify which screen the user has requested based on the pattern and return a MemoryStream containing the html for that screen.

The returning of the html is what I am not able to figure out. Do I create a custom control and use control.RenderControl(...)? What was Duncan talking about when he said you can pull aspx and master pages from the database?


Thanks a lot,
Vaibhav

Do you have this in any other format? WMV doesn't work so well in Linux.

In the next version of C9 we will support formats with sturdy codecs that run well on Linux, etc.

I'd imagine you could find a usable wmv codec for Linux out there today... Come on.

At any rate, please don't troll video threads. Keep your nonsense in the Coffeehouse.

Thanks,

C

on10.net has actually had ajaxified forums for a while now.  That said, we've vastly improved over what's there right now and at the time of construction, ASP.NET AJAX was not ready for big time use (we built it a year ago).  Now that it is, I've switched our entire client infrastructure over to ASP.NET AJAX and it feels good.  It should be rock solid by the time we release the final version.
