How to do SSL pass-through with WCF (a link for the MVP crowd) I sat in on a very informative roundtable discussion about WCF tips, tricks and pitfalls this afternoon here at the MVP conference. In that discussion one of the topics that came up was load balancing. After some brief discussion, I chimed in with a pitfall that people would need to watch out for which is […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

Off to 2008 MVP Summit I’m sitting in JFK waiting for my flight to Seattle to depart as I head to this year’s MVP Summit. The MVP Summit is always an interesting event. Sometimes there’s some new tech revealed, but it’s not like a PDC. Mostly it’s about networking and providing feedback to Microsoft on what they could be doing […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

IE8 to default to Standards Compliance Mode Just announced over on the IE blog, they’ve listened to the community and changed the way IE8 will behave with respect to rendering modes. Originally you would have had to put a tag in to tell it to behave the “right” way… now you have to put a tag in to tell it to behave […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Will IE8 use JScript.NET? So what do you think? Will IE8 use the CLR implementation of the JScript engine or keep on using the legacy ActiveScript engine architecture that is plagued with COM circular reference issues resulting in memory leakage and a plethora of other performance problems? Seeing as how FireFox 3 is running about 10x as fast now […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
