Hi, ***I have been asked to set a Sharepoint Document library up as a drop folder. i.e. We want people to push stuff to it but we don't want unauthorised people to download from it. ***I've tried setting up a custom permision with 'Add Items' only - but you are forced to have 'View Items' as well. View allows people to download the content, not just view the list of items...... Any thoughts? ***At the moment were looking at creating a workflow that moves the items into a more restricted list, so there are two lists, one to drop and one to pick up. This isn't quite what we want though as w'ed still like the list of uploaded items to be visible...... Adrian More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

JavaScript is a massively popular language.* Programs written in JavaScript can be deployed to more users and more machines than any other language given the prominence of script-enabled web browsers and web surfing.* Yet the language hasn’t evolved since the spec was signed off in 1999. Why? At MIX08, we were lucky enough to get three of the world’s top JavaScript experts to talk to us about the future of the JavaScript from a language perspective, the “Zen” of JavaScript, and tips and tricks on performance and management of large projects.* Douglas Crockford is the guy who first identified and evangelized some of the techniques like closures and lambdas that are now mainstays of JavaScript ninjas.* He works at Yahoo! on JavaScript frameworks including the widely-use JavaScript toolkit in YUI.* Alex Russell is the creator of the popular Dojo Toolkit for JavaScript, and heavily involved in pushing improvements across the various runtimes.* Joseph Smarr is chief architect and employee #1 at Plaxo, and is a well-known expert on JavaScript best practices – you can see the talks he gave at Mozilla and Yahoo! on JavaScript performance.

Yesterday I decided to give WPF a go.* Before I used to use Windows Forms for creating my applications but however, I found that what I wanted to do (expanders, etc.) were not there (even though it would be easy enough to code a custom control that did that.) So right now I am writing a custom text editor (in WPF.) Are there any good resources / reads for creating a custom interface? (in terms of colors and styling) (Also, maybe full screen WPF applications something like Media Center, which IS using a custom UI language from what I remember...) More...

I'm about to start writing a small search engine within my site and I'm wanting to get more into assisting the user in finding the results they want. I have considered soundex() operations, but heard that they aren't always reliable, since longer more complex soundex() results may be truncated. I've also looked into Levenshtein Distance, but again have problems. Seems like to get a search-engine to find suggestions based upon their levenshtein-distance from the original search-term, you need to have a list of terms waiting to be compared to everybody's search term, and that could be nasty on the server forcing a levenshtein equation 1,000+ times everytime somebody submits a search. Even if you do the tiresome lookups, you'll get dozens of alternatives for each word - how do you decide which to suggest? Seems almost like I need to store search terms, and the number of their returned results in the database, and do levenshtein-comparisons against those, and sort the close ones by their number of last returned results...make sense? So I humble myself and come before you all today ;) anybody know how to do this in an efficient way? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Why is Visual Studio 2008 Pro, sold 30% higher in Canada than US? Example: Amazon CDN$ 1,021.99 vs* US$ 737.49 This is 38% higher!*for exactly the same box and shipping is not included. Today's change is* 1 $US = .9938 $CAN and it was 1 to 1.2 a few weeks ago, so it should be cheaper in CAN$ than US$ * In addition*most Software resellers refuse now to sell to Canadians customer*(check Amazon's 'Product Details' in US page) forcing us to buy their bloated "Canadian" price version.
