Thank you to everyone who came along to my session at the launch in Birmingham yesterday - it was certainly pretty packed! I promised a lot of people a copy of the demos and they'll be here soon. In the meantime, I've uploaded a "live" version of my demo site if you want to have a play with it.
The demo source code should be up by the end of today. I've had to change a couple of things in my server control to make sure it works in FireFox as well as IE. Note - you can now get the demo code here.
Click below to see the demo site.
It's only 4 pages and you probably had to see the session for it to make much sense - here's a quick summary:
- I created a standard CSS 2 column layout using the new CSS features in Visual Studio 2008 and turned this into a masterpage for the site
- Default.aspx (Home) uses a little bit of JavaScript to display a Virtual Earth map overlaid with the properties in my Houses database and traffic information for the local area
- The properties come from a SQL Server db queried using Linq to Sql
- The traffic information comes from the BBC queried using Linq to XML and then "localised" by using Linq to Objects
- Both are exposed as web services and called from JavaScript
- GridView.aspx (Properties 1) was a demo of a GridView control binding to a Linq query expression and a LinqDataSource control
- ListView.aspx (Properties 2) was similar but using the new ListView control and adding sorting and editing capabilities
- ImageView.aspx (ImageView) also uses a ListView (and paging) to display the same data in a very different way. It uses an ASP.NET AJAX server control to display a picture of the property and a Virtual Earth map that appears if you mouseover the picture. The page also uses the RounderCornersExtender from the AJAX Control Toolkit and an UpdatePanel for partial page refreshes.

Hi, I've been watching your blog for quite a while now and I just wanted to thank you for such a great session! I'm not really much of a "Web Guy", the closest I get is Web Services, but you put all the info across in a really interesting and engaging way. I came back to the office the next day and sang the praises of the new CSS and JS features to our Web Devs, although I'm sure I didn't do them as much justice as you did. Thanks again :DAnonymous

Hi Mike, I came to your launch session on 19th March, and thought your demo was absolutely superb. Really great to see it on here, as I was racking my brains as to how it was done. As you can see from my URL, my site is a collection of churches across my home county. It makes usage of mapping, just Google Maps at present, but your session made me wonder just what I could get up to using Virtual Earth maps instead! :) Thanks again, JohnAnonymous

Andy, John - thanks for the comments. Glad you enjoyed the session and it caught your imagination. John - I want to see that site in Virtual Earth when you're done! :-) Mike
