Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns is Out

I’m very excited about Jimmy Nilsson’s new book Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET. I’ll refrain from a formal book review as I’m only one chapter in, but I can already see it’s an awesome book.

How to Preserve Control State

At times, you need to extend a server control to add functionality. For example, I found the Wizard control lacking a property which indicated what the previous step was.
