Oana and I are back blogging after a long pause and we're also pretty excited talking about Real Life MVC at the RONUA Tour 2011.

The event will take place this evening at 6 PM. You can read more about it here: http://short.xenom.ro/impuX5

Take care & see you there!

Hi guys,

Join us on monday at the Microsoft Student Partners presentations regarding Microsoft competitions. eXcite is the local competition which will be explained to everyone thoroughly at first, continuing with the Imagine Cup - the Microsoft international competition for students - where Oana and I will talk about our travel trails called Hawkeye which was appreciated by the judges and shown off at the Windows Phone Developer Blog.

Hope to see you there,

Arthur

I found an interesting article about delay-loading with UpdatePanel.

It is simple and useful, all you need to do is:

• Add a PreRender event handler for the UpdatePanel which delays the enabling of the desired controls.
• Do a Postback on that UpdatePanel from clientside PageLoad, using the EVENTTARGET & EVENTARGUMENT (set as an identification string to prevent multiple code executions)

Here is the complete description and code sample: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/AllAboutDelayLoading2.aspx
