I was tasked to create a new Website - to make it similar to Facebook. ( were talking without games) so a standart backend with CMS for media sites.
I am familiar with VS'12, asp.net MVC3 & 4 C# or Vb.net , html5 and other languages and feel fit to start this.
What i wanted to know is if there is any Template, Backends, Nuget Packages, Open Source Applications out there for Visual Studio so I don't have to recreate the wheel?
I have looked where i know to look so a great answer would be a Template, Backend, Nuget Package and where you found it. Or possibly another method of getting started that i didn't list / am not aware of
Please do not come back at me with any PHP templates, for i would not be interested in it.
Thanks in advance.
Take a look here: MonoX
Free ASP.NET Content Management and Social Networking Platform
MonoX comes with everything you need to build advanced social networks.
MonoX includes very powerful content management functionality.
Mono Software provides MonoX blogs, tutorials and support forums.
This is something I'd recommend.

I am trying to build a sample app that uses web sockets in .Net 4.5. based on the example in here: http://blog.davidpadbury.com/2011/01/13/wcf-websockets-first-glance/
I have VS11 developer preview installed on Windows 7.
I could not figure out which namespace WebSocketsService belongs to.
It would be of great help if anyone can point me to a resource that has complete details to get websockets working in .net.
Thanks.
MK
Did you download and install the WCF WebSockets Prototype from HTML5 Labs?
The namespace is Microsoft.ServiceModel.WebSockets in the assembly Microsoft.ServiceModel.WebSockets.dll. Once you install the prototype library you should be able to find the assembly.
I spent all day looking for examples that actually worked. So, I decided to put a complete example of web sockets hosted from MVC4 in this blog post. It uses the easiest possible way, using the Microsoft.WebSockets NuGet package. It still requires Windows 8 as far as I know. :( Hopefully there will be a patch to make Windows 7 a suitable host.

I'm a C# (WinForms) developer and I'm now getting into MVC3. I want to start right away with the right tools. I keep asking myself why I started C# without ReSharper. I don't want to program without the proper tools anymore.
I've searched a lot on Google, but I've found no specific tool/productivity add-ons for MVC3. Are the any? Do you use any? Is there any use/need for a third party tool in MVC3?
Basically the only tools we use in our development is included in the MVC 3.0 installer. The Razor View Engine, other than that is nothing. I mean when you got MVC, you got what you need for productivity and maintainability. ReSharper you said? No thanks! :)

You may want to check out the MvcContrib project on CodePlex, especially the filters and action results.
If you want to get into DI/IoC (since MVC3 is friendly to that), check out some of my favorite tools -- Ninject or StructureMap.
If you are developing a CRUD application using MVC then MVC Scaffolding will help you a lot. You can customize the templates and then generate controllers and views very quickly.
perosnally I use:
T4MVC
MefContrib.MVC3
Moq
MvcRouteUnitTester
StronglyTypedViews
AttributeRouting

I want to develop my blog website in ASP.NET. What could be the best way I can write my blog through?
I mean will Tiny MCE work for me, last time when I used it I faced terrible formatting issues. Because my blog will include code, different formatting, pictures etc. Please suggest me how to post blog?
I am using ASP.NET 3.5 and SQL Server 2005.
Why write your own from scratch? Take a look at Orchard CMS. It's an opensource .NET CMS being developed with help from Microsoft http://www.orchardproject.net/
Its fairly new, so there's still some features missing, but its really easy to get setup and since you're a .NET developer you can add your own functionality.
I agree with Jamiegs. Blogging is by and large a solved problem. Why not use an existing package? Most packages will include much more than anything you'd put together in your spare time not to mention that you'll benefit from all of the field testing too.
I settled on hosted Wordpress and just pointed my domain there. Hosted Wordpress is somewhat more limited than self-hosted (you can't install your own themes, etc...) but I've hardly found it restrictive. Their documentation around the various shortcodes for displaying source code or embedding maps is pretty complete.
I have been using Obout's html editor almost a year now without any problems. http://obout.com/editor_new/sample_full.aspx . Ajax Toolkit has free lite version of Obout's editor.

I'm looking for a free, syntax-highlighting, possibly autocompleting "Programmer's textbox" style control for use in a Visual Studio Windows Forms or WPF project. It should work with C# and self-defined languages, and the licence should permit its use in a closed, in-house development tool.
There are pay-for solutions available - something like http://www.syncfusion.com/products/user-interface-edition/windows-forms/Edit would work fine - but I am looking for something simpler, and would prefer not to pay for unnecessary functionality. Any ideas?
I've been using the SharpCode.TextEditor for a few cases, and it works quite well - including syntax highlighting and all.
Check out this Using ICSharpCode.TextEditor article on CodeProject for an intro.
To download it, go to the SharpDevelop web site and download the latest sources. One of the projects included is the Text editor, which you can easily isolate into its own assembly or sub project - you get all the source code, after all!
Scintilla is a powerful, open-source code editing component, and there is a .NET control available for it.

I am looking for some (preferably) online tutorials on making controls with 'Rich design-time support'
By Rich design time support i mean like how the menustrip works on a form and such.
Any links to websites, good books or code samples (c# or vb.net) would be great.
You can start with Dissecting A C# Application which goes into many aspects of creating SharpDevelop, C# IDE written in .NET. This covers many aspects of the designer architecture and it is free in a PDF. However, the PDF is hard to find (original links no longer work, but I believe this is a valid copy).
While that will get you started on the ins and outs of the designer, it probably doesn't go into detail on some of the more interesting features such as actions and tasks. For this, MSDN has some extensive information and examples (it didn't used to).
Finally, I find the best resource to be .NET Reflector. Using this tool to look at how Microsoft has done it in various places within the framework has been a great learning exercise when working in design-time support areas. Find a control that does what you want and then go see how it does it.
All of these resources are free, however your time is not. I have found that design-time support can be a breeze in some areas but a complete nightmare in others. Good luck.
