Wednesday, May 11, 2011 1:07:09 AM GMT Saturday, May 07, 2011 12:28:04 AM GMT
I was in Belgium and The Netherlands this last week presenting and talking to folks in the community. After I presented on ASP.NET MVC 3, HTML5 and jQuery, one fellow came up after and said, "Should I use Silverlight or HTML5. I don't understand what Microsoft's strategy is or what to use in my app." Since I work for the Web Platform and Tools team (ASP.NET, IIS, etc) I spend a lot of time working, coding, and thinking about the web. However, I'm not an official strategist, or marketing guy.  But I do h... (more)

Once upon a time when a .Net developer wanted to install a third-party/open source component the amount of work he had to do was enormous. Things like downloading the component with all its dependencies, installing the latest component version, saving the component into source control, deploying the component with the application and more made this mission very hard and cumbersome. In other platforms such as Java and Ruby there ... (more)

I used my little WebFormContrib library again today. Some days I love revisiting old code because you realize how ignorant of some practices you were in the past. Hopefully none of you download it and say…geez this guy is Mr. Ignoramus. If you do, keep it to yourself. Kidding, please comment and inform the ignorant (me). Anyhow, it’s been about 6 months since I’ve had to use WebForms, but today I had to and it wasn’t bad. I was able to tie my view into my pages and controls and used AutoMapper to map ba... (more)

If you are writing code for a while now then by now you must have a lot of code snippets which you will be using in your application development, and you use them because they save a lot of development time.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 incorporates native support for the new HTML5 structural elements and many of the CSS3 properties supported by the latest browsers. Some of these features were introduced in the 11.0.3 updater for Dreamweaver CS5, but they have been significantly enchanced in Dreamweaver CS5.5. For example, there are new tools that make it easy to apply CSS rounded corners and drop shadows while seeing the results in Live view.

Note: these are early notes based on some initial experiments with the Silverlight 5 beta, apply a pinch of salt to what you read. As you’d expect, Silverlight can already play audio and has been able to since day one via the MediaElement class which doubles up for also playing video. If I remember rightly, audio support is for mp3, WMA7, 8 and 9 and also for AAC but does not include WAV files. MediaElement is pretty easy to use but if you’ve got requirements like;Multiple media elements playing back ... (more)

During my many Visual Studio tours to visit customers with my good friend Clint Edmonson, we discovered that a lot of people apparently didn’t know they had access to code metrics. So, that begs the question, what are code metrics and why should you care? According to Wikipedia: “A software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications. Since quantitative measurements are essential in all sciences, there is a continuous effort by computer science practitioners and th... (more)

HTML5 introduces markup-level functionality for rich graphics, animation and web multimedia. It also supports a richer web application functionality and extends the client capabilities with local storage. Many pundits see it as the next generation web - web 3.0 if you like - and an open standard replacement for propriety plug-ins, Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash. But, for all its new features, HTML5 is still only the end product. This article looks at HTML5 from the web programmer's point of view,... (more)

The standard way to create NuGet packages today is to:Create a nuspec file with all the metadata and package dependencies Lay out the files that to want to include Run ‘nuget pack’ to create the package Run ‘nuget push’ to push them to the gallery See Phil’s post more more details on those steps. While this is pretty straightforward, it can be made yet easier if we take advantage of the fact that your VS project already contains a lot of information that shouldn’t have to be repeated.

The new WCF Web Apis Preview 4 released yesterday in the wcf.codeplex.com introduced a new extensibility point for intercepting messages at channel level. The name for this new feature is “Http Message Channels” and the good thing is that you don’t need to rely anymore on the REST Starter Kit request interceptors for doing the same thing. Actually, a Http Message Channel is more useful as you can intercept either request or response messages, and also you ... (more)

Using SMB to Share a Windows Azure Drive among multiple Role Instances - Windows Azure Storage Team Blog
published 766 days, 22 minutes ago posted by KluggerKlugger 767 days, 1 hour, 31 minutes ago
Monday, April 18, 2011 2:01:52 PM GMT Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:52:20 PM GMT
We often get questions from customers about how to share a drive with read-write access among multiple role instances. A common scenario is that of a content repository for multiple web servers to access and store content. An Azure drive is similar to a traditional disk drive in that it may only be mounted read-write on one system. However using SMB, it is possible to mount a drive on one role instance and then share that out to other role instances which can map the network share to a drive letter or mo... (more)

Considerations When Building Database Schema with Federations in SQL Azure - SQL Azure - Cihan Biyikoglu
published 766 days, 22 minutes ago posted by KluggerKlugger 767 days, 1 hour, 28 minutes ago
Monday, April 18, 2011 2:01:52 PM GMT Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:55:44 PM GMT
When working with federations, database schema requires a special consideration. With federations, you take parts of your schema and scale it out. With each federation in the root database, a subset of objects are scaled-out. You may create multiple federations because distribution characteristics and scalability requirements may vary across sets of tables. For example, with an ecommerce app, you may both have a large customer-orders set of tables and a very large product catalog that may have completel... (more)
