Using the New ASP.NET ListView Control

ASP.NET 3.5 introduces a new control called the ListView that allows developers to have 100% control over the HTML markup that is generated while still providing paging, inserting, updating, and deleting support. To me the ListView control is a nice blend between the GridView and Repeater controls with new features added. In this video I walk through the fundamentals of using the ListView control and show how you can use the new CSS tools in VS.NET 2008 to create a scrollable ListView control with a frozen header. See my previous blog post if you are interested in learning how to freeze GridView control headers in IE and FireFox.

Integrating Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX

This video is from a talk given by Dan Wahlin at Desert Code Camp in Phoenix, AZ that discussed how Silverlight could be integrated with ASP.NET AJAX to dynamically display albums obtained from an Amazon.com Web Service. The audio in the room wasn't great since no microphone was used so you may need to crank it up a bit. Slides and code shown in the video can be downloaded below:
