I guess this is really more of a link regarding ASP.NET AJAX and Full Trust.

Ken Cox points out that the new AJAX extensions install themselves into the GAC instead of a Bin subdirectory. I hadn't really thought about this until he notes how this affects those of us (me included) who have shared web hosting.

I've been putting a picture slideshow together for my sister's wedding and I've spent the past couple of nights working on a nice, AJAX-y website that would allow her to pick her own captions for the pictures and customize the slides without me having to email a huge PowerPoint file to her. It sounds like I'll have to look at another option for the time being, though, because I doubt I'll be able to convince my web host to install beta software to the GAC.

*sigh*

What fun it is being a beta junkie.

I wanted to put out a quick post to say thanks to Dave Reed and his Infinities Loop blog. He recently moved his blog from blogger.com to weblogs.asp.net, which is great for me, because blogs on blogger.com are blocked by my corporate proxy! He's had some great content out there, particularly for those of us who haven't really had a chance to TRULY understand ASP.NET. He has a couple of great "TRULY understanding" posts: one on ViewState and another on static vs. dynamic controls.

If you're like me and haven't had a chance to really dig into ASP.NET, check out his blog!
