.Net Framework 3.5 and AjaxControlToolkit

After recently converting a web app to the 3.5 framework, I found that the pages that used the AjaxControlToolkit no longer worked.  With a little research, I found that there is a new release of the toolkit that needs to be used with 3.5 apps.  You can download the assembly by going to the following web page and selecting the link that reads "AjaxControlToolkit-Framework3.5.zip". Happy coding :)

Ajax History Control

Hey All,  I just ran across an ajax control I hadn't seen before.  It's a history control.  The basics of it is that you use it to track steps made in the progression of a page with partial postbacks.  Like paging in a grid for example.  Then the control allows you to logicly go back a step in the partial postbacks when the user presses the back button.  Sounds cool, can't wait to try it.  Here is the url for the rest of you to give it a gander.  http://asp.net/learn/ajax-videos/video-149.aspx

Dynamic CRM and DateTime

I recently ran into an issue with datetime conversion not being what I expected when copying data from one CRM entity to another.  I found the issues had to do with converting the datetime to universal datetime.  To find out more here is an excelent MS blog post. http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/2007/05/22/date-time-values-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm.aspx
