Whoops, forgot to login first. That last comment really was me.

BTW, I wrote up some corrections to my talk in this blog post, A Look Back At Mix 11.

Hi folks, I made a couple of mistakes during the talk and wrote up some corrections in this blog post: A Look Back At Mix.

 

@Romeo When I said "Your stuff is broken" I was speaking to the StackOverflow team who was in the audience. As NickCraver points out (he's on the StackOverflow team), it was an output cache issue that made their site look different when I brought it up in IE 9.

Interesting how easy it is to have loose fingers when accusing someone of having a loose mouth. I generally like to give people the benefit of the doubt first and understand the context before making accusations. But that's just me.

@Dan no idea. I'll ask around.

@NickCraver I think it's awesome that you guys fixed it before my talk was over.

That is really cool! I can't wait to try it out on my slow apps.

Now I know what my boy was doing while I was talking! Eating that filthy plastic thing!

Thanks for the shout out fellas! Hi back atcha.

Thanks!

 

Good question. That was a bit of ignorance on my part. That attribute is  System.ComponnentModel.DisplayNameAttribute which is part of System.dll. It is a pre-existing attribute that we just happen to support and it wasn't designed with the localization features that our newer data annotations are designed with. Unfortunately, with DisplayNameAttribute, the general idea is you have to subclass it to get localization. Yeah, that's annoying.

 

There are new attributes coming in ASP.NET 4 so I'll need to figure out what the suggested pattern will be.

 

All the validation components do allow setting resource keys such as ErrorMessageResourceType and ErrorMessageResourceKey.

What I said at the end was that because my laptop is so silent, "I'm creeping". Folks in L.A. know what I mean. Or anyone who watched the second? season of Weeds.

Stephen Walther posted some new videos on http://asp.net/mvc. Check em out. He'll be posting more as time permits.
