Earlier this week I blogged about a proof of concept that you can detect if a user is logged in to twitter and display their data with a few lines of JavaScript. This could be used to show for example "tweet this" buttons in a blog application. The trick is easy: use the user_timeline to [...]

My teammate Stephen Walther launched the ASP.NET MVC Design Gallery a few weeks back. This stemmed from an idea ScottGu had to let the community change the default templates that ship with ASP.NET MVC .

You can vote on the designs that you like and that you don't like. You also can contribute new designs of your own. After you download a design from the gallery, you can use the design by following these steps: 1) Copy the files from DesignTemplateCS or DesignTemplateVB folder into your project (use DesignTemplateCS for C# projects and DesignTemplateVB for VB.NET projects) 2) Do a...(read more)

In this video Chris Pels shows how to use the FtpWebRequest class to create an FTP connection and transfer a file. First, create a simple .aspx form to select a file to transfer to the FTP server. Next, see the essential methods and properties of the FtpWebRequest class that need to be configured in order to establish an FTP connection. Then, see how to get the local file contents so the file can be transferred using a StreamReader and a StreamWriter to write it to the FtpWebRequest. Finally, a FtpWebResponse is obtained to determine the outcome of the transfer. This approach can be used to programmatically transfer files for a web application.
