http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/02/21/the-internet-explorer-8-user-agent-string.aspx Yes yes I am a bit impatient to wait. Most of us (Niners) are very technical people. We know what we are doing. We know how to clean up the mess. When can we get our curious hands on the mysterious IE8 beta instead of only limited to the Microsoft Connect people? Isn't it better to have a broader beta-user base? Sure, IE8 Release Candidate is a different case. But come on! Cheers! Soe More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I have 2 WPF list boxes, that I need to scroll simultaneously, e.g. if Listbox1 scrolls down by 7 pixels, lixtbox 2 should do the same. However, I cannot seem to find any event that gets fired when the listbox scrolls. Any ideas? OR Is there a way I can do this with WPF databinding? I can't seem to find any way of getting / setting the scroll position in xaml... More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

i know that ie6 is not really popular anymore right now, but i got this bug report and they asked me about this problem. look at the picture: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2407/2291446192_5a73a7e3c3.jpg?v=0* did you see the characters not properly aligned? i tried various things to find the source of the problem. well, im not really an expert on web design and css and all, so i cant really point out what is the problem. it's very strange, because most of the texts*were just usual links using the anchor tags. i used div and spans for the layout, and its running on jboss portal. this is a portlet application, and the portlet itself i think is implemented with tables. (i know, its not really a good thing to mix div spans with tables, but*i didnt found out about it until well later in the development process). the peculiar thing, is that there is absolutely no separation on the text itself. what can cause this kind of thing? the only thing that i can see is the problem occurs*on most cases where*the multibyte and singlebytes interchanged. btw, im using utf-8 for the page encoding. i tried everything, copy pasted the portlet source itself into a local html, including linking the css sources and javascript and run it locally. but the problem doesnt appears there. i tried to save it locally and pop it up again on ie6, but again the problem just disappears. of course, doing it like that wont duplicate the real environment, and maybe the portlet settings itself has something to do with this behaviour. im pretty confused right now, is there anyone who can give me any hints? thanks in advance More...

Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth :-) Introduction: The Managed AddIn Framework (MAF) is a set of assemblies that are part of .NET Framework v3.5. They offer a platform for developers to build extensibility into their client applications by enabling addins (aka plugins) to be written for a host. In this 18' video you will learn how to use the MAF. The code is available from my blog. Video download: Click on the image to play the video (from a streaming Silverlight wmv file). If you'd prefer to download a non-Silverlight wmv packaged in a zip file, you may do so here. http://channel9.msdn.com/Photos/385722.jpg Watch the screencast(WMV) More...

This video is part 2 and relies on knowledge gained in part 1. In this video you will learn how to enable a v1 AddIn to work with a v2 Host and hence you will see the true value of the MAF pipeline.

Whole lot of theorycraft follow but I'm usually right in these things. :D I was here thinking, what's the obviously most popular application of .NET in a device like Zune that, obviously, cannot be done with XNA but very likely could be done in Flash. (because of the forward thinking of the people who make the product) Without even looking the documentations or specifications of XNA in Zune I can predict some of it by looking at decisions have MS take in past in development of WPF, Silverlight and XNA overall: There will be no way to open TCP sockets over the wireless and there will be no way to push arbitrary bytes to to the decoder codecs in the device. Thus there will be no way to implement what everyone wants: Playback of the millions of shoutcast internet radios or running your own radio from a home server that could be programmed live from the Zune. Instead, per the usual Microsoft line of thinking, there will be API's to play files already on the device by, at best,*passing a filename or at worst popping up a premade UI to select a song. To play effect sounds of course the content pipeline will be utilized to pre-package files into approved formats (wav) instead of possibility to synthesize the effects or blend multiple audio files on the device to create actually interesting applications. And the stated reason for all this is of course security, instead of properly auditing the native code used in the device to not do bad things when random bytes from a shoutcast radio server attempt to use the zune to infiltrate the computers in your LAN through the broken decoders it's just easier to simply prevent doing anything cool and out of the box. Even if you wrote the decoders in c# (likely not fast enough for the device esp if unsafe isn't allowed(?)) I bet there aren't APIs to push the audio directly from managed code. (actually there is in XNA now but my bet is they'll remove them from Zune version of this) More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
