Debugger update I've implemented about half of the non-GUI breakpoint code and I'll probably implement the rest tomorrow. The UI isn't going to be pretty to start with, but that's not important for the moment. I've also tracked down a couple of interesting stability bugs. All of a sudden it's beginning to look like a stable program. What other blogs are saying about this post. 11:10:07 PM    comment []  trackback []

ASP.NET controls and non-IE browsers Poor Netscape/Mozilla Support in .NET. This article from Slashdot describes some problems that folks have encountered getting ASP.NET controls to render correctly on browsers other than Internet Explorer. Here are some interesting comments: Anonymous Coward: "the built in ASP.NET controls work well if you use ie 6 on XP as a client, and degrade from there." DNAGuy: "it's no harder to build cross-browser apps in Visual Studio.Net than it is in any other IDE." MobyDisk: "the first thing they said about the ASP.NET is that you need to go out and get another set of controls." I'd like to learn more about this. Is it unreasonable to expect ASP.NET controls to render perfectly on every browser? Are there things you can do to force the controls to render reliably? Has anyone had experience that refutes these claims? [Brian Jepson's Radio Weblog] It is unreasonable that only IE can display them properly when both Opera and Mozilla (and the rest) could do just as good a job too. Not everybody runs IE and I, for one, would like to support everybody. I'm not that impressed with the inbuilt controls anyway, they never seem to work quite how they should for me.
