What are the ASP.NET Futures? - Tips for using the "ASP.NET Futures" forum
The ASP.NET Futures represents a specific set of preview bits that you can download at: http://www.asp.net/downloads/futures/
The code and controls included in the ASP.NET Futures download represent experimental versions of features that are being considered for a future version of ASP.NET and the .NET Framework.
Before starting a new thread in this ASP.NET Futures forum,
"please make sure your question is related to the Futures controls that you have downloaded."
Also, since these Futures bits are subject to change, please also let us know which version of the Futures download you are using. For example, as I write this post, the Futures page list the currently available preview release as the "July 2007" release.
There are a few other topics that tend to draw members to this particular forum, but those topics are best posted in other forums available on the site. For example:
If your question is related to AJAX or the AJAX Toolkit
For questions related to the released AJAX controls and the AJAX Control Toolkit controls, we recommend using one of the dedicate ASP.NET AJAX forums found here:
ASP.NET AJAX.
If you have general questions about Silverlight:
For general questions about the released Silverlight components, we recommend using the dedicated Silverlight site at:
http://silverlight.net/. Your login at the
www.asp.net site can also be used at the Silverlight site.
If you are using the specific Silverlight preview controls that are included as part of the Futures Download then this is the place to post your questions.
You are encouraged to check out the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview which includes preview versions of the Silverlight controls:
ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions PreviewIf you are posting about the Dynamic Data controls:
Please be aware that the Dynamic Data controls from the Futures download are now obsolete and have been replaced. You can check out the new Dynamic Data Controls found in the
ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview. A forum dedicated to supporting the new Dynamic Data controls found in the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview can be found over here:
