From w3.org: "Some people seem to think that Opera's recent legal action againstMicrosoft will cause relations in the CSS Working Group to deteriorateand thereby damage our group's ability to function. But neither Håkon Lie nor the Microsoft reps foresee any problems working together because of Opera’s antitrust complaint." From Alex Mogilevsky (Microsoft): "As far as Microsoft is concerned, I have not received anyinstruction to change my participation in W3C in any way because ofthis or any other lawsuits. Personally, I love working with Håkon andall CSSWG members... whatever Opera's intentions are, I can't imagineit involves not being interested in working together on a standard thatis worth implementing. I am certainly interested and plan to keep doingthat, to the best of my abilities and any time that I can afford toinvest." Read more More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds

I just got a new phone, a Motorola Q9c running Windows Mobile 6.0 ... and it has GPS. The GPS is awesome and I've been running Google Maps (Live Search Maps couldn't seem to find my GPS and needed me to tell it what port is was on or something... and I had no idea what to tell it) and loving it, but of course I want to code against it myself. What I want is a simple piece of sample code that just gets and displays the current co-ordinates... that's all... I can handle everything else I want to do from there, but polling the device and getting data out of it is what I'm lacking. I browsed through MSDN, I searched, I found nothing that was nice and simple ... so I turn to you folks! :) Anyone already done this, or care to point me in the right direction? More...

At some point in the past I got XAML intellisense in VWD 2005 express, I can't for the life of me remember how. I'd now like to get it in VWD 2008 Express so I can make use of the javascript intellisense and have a proper play with Silverlight*over christmas. I'm aware the project tools/templates don't work with the express editions but I'm hoping there is a way to get intellisense working. Anyone? :D More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds

As a team, we’ve spent the last year heads down working hard on IE8. Last week, we achieved an important milestone that should interest web developers. IE8 now renders the “Acid2 Face” correctly in IE8 standards mode. http://ieblog.members.winisp.net/images/AcidTest2.PNG If you’re not a web developer, the details of this blog post probably aren’t all that interesting for you. I’d like you to know that we’re building IE8 for many different customers (consumers, web service providers, independent software vendors, enterprises, web developers, and others), and we’ll cover more details of the non-developer oriented work (e.g. user experience, reliability, security, etc.) in other posts in the future, after MIX. While web developers will immediately recognize what Acid2 means, I want to step back and offer some context for other readers of this blog who may not be familiar with web standards. Briefly: Acid2 is one test of how modern browsers work with some specific features across several different web standards. At first glance, this test seems simple. I think it actually offers a view into the subtle and complex world of web standards in a number of ways. Showing the Acid2 page correctly is a good indication of being standards compliant, but Acid2 itself isn’t a web standard or a web standards compliance test. The publisher of the test, the Web Standards Project, is an advocacy group, not a web standards defining body. When we look at the long lists of standards (even from just one standards body, like the W3C), which standards are the most important for us to support? The web has many kinds of standards – true industry standards, like those from the W3C, de facto standards, unilateral standards, open standards, and more. Some standards like RSS or OpenSearch lack a formal standards body yet work pretty well today across multiple implementations. Many advances in web technologies, like the img tag, start out as unilateral extensions by a vendor. The X in AJAX, for example, has only started the formal standardization process relatively recently. As some comments have pointed out, CSS 2.1, one of the key standards that Acid2 exercises, is not “finalized” yet. Different individuals have different opinions about different standards. The important thing about the Acid2 test is that it reflects what one particular group of smart people “consider most important for the future of the web.” The key goal (for the Web Standards Project as well as many other groups and individuals) is interoperability. As a developer, I’d prefer to not have to write the same site multiple times for different browsers. Standards are a (critical!) means to this end, and we focus on the standards that will help actual, real-world interoperability the most. As a consumer and a developer, I expect stuff to just work, and I also expect backwards compatibility. When I get a new version of my current browser, I expect all the sites that worked before will still work. With respect to standards and interoperability, our goal in developing Internet Explorer 8 is to support the right set of standards with excellent implementations and do so without breaking the existing web. This second goal refers to the lessons we learned during IE 7. IE7’s CSS improvements made IE more compliant with some standards and less compatible with some sites on the web as they were coded. Many sites and developers have done special work to work well with IE6, mostly as a result of the evolution of the web and standards since 2001 and the level of support in the various versions of IE that pre-date many standards. We have a responsibility to respect the work that sites have already done to work with IE. We must deliver improved standards support and backwards compatibility so that IE8 (1) continues to work with the billions of pages on the web today that already work in IE6 and IE7 and (2) makes the development of the next billion pages, in an interoperable way, much easier. We’ll blog more, and learn more, about this during the IE8 beta cycle. Now, with all that context, I’m delighted to tell you that on Wednesday, December 12, Internet Explorer correctly rendered the Acid2 page in IE8 standards mode. While supporting the features tested in Acid2 is important for many reasons, it is just one of several milestones for the interoperability, standards compliance, and backwards compatibility that we’re committed to for this release. We will blog more on these topics. Here’s a relevant video. For IE8, we want to communicate facts, not aspirations. We’re posting this information now because we have real working code checked in and we’re confident about delivering it in the final product. We’re listening to the feedback about IE, and at the same time, we are committed to responsible disclosure and setting expectations properly. Now that we’ve run the test on multiple machines and seen it work, we’re excited to be able to share definitive information. While blog posts and links to videos are a good start, publicly available code is even better. We will have a lot more information available at sessions at MIX08 and will release a beta of IE8 in the first half of calendar 2008. Dean Hachamovitch General Manager p.s. The following is the actual code check-in mail from Friday that pushed the code changes from developers’ machines into the central IE build. I’ve removed references to email aliases and UNC paths. “DRTs” are tests that developers check-in along with their code, in case you’re wondering about the .htm .xml and .js below.

http://www.neowin.net/news/main/07/12/19/internet-explorer-8-passes-acid2-test Microsoft has let the world know that Internet Explorer 8 will support web standards. It has taken Microsoft years to recognise that developers want to have a web browser that supports web standards. According to Microsoft this was completed before Opera filing their complaint against IE not supporting web standards. In a blog post on the IE Blog Microsoft states that IE8 will beta in the first quarter of 2008 and lots of details will be revealed at Mix 08. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/ cool! More...

The IE team has been very hard at work on IE 8 for the past several months and they hit a huge milestone last Friday evening. The IE dev team checked in a bunch of code that included several new features implemented in the core rendering engine that enable IE to pass the ACID 2 test! This is great news for web developers: IE 8 is going to be our most standards compliant browser to date. Passing ACID 2 is really a combined side effect of all the new features that have been developed for IE 8. In this interview, I sit down with IE GM Dean Hachamovitch and Architect Chris Wilson to discuss this milestone and dig into complaince in general, lessons learned from IE 7 and discuss*the IE team's*ultimate goal of de facto interoperability. Of course, no Channel 9 interview is complete without meeting some of the devs who write technology so we take a walk from Dean's office to super developer Alex Mogilevsky's office to discuss what's been done to provide IE with the core rendering features that enable IE 8 to pass the ACID 2 test. We also chat with CSS guru Markus Mielke who was instrumental in identifying and planning the feature set required to pass ACID 2. Tune in!

I'm having some mental block here that is keeping me from being able to save viewstate in a gridview. I'm using templates, and I've got a textbox on each row that should allow the user to enter some data.* Then, once they hit 'commit', I validate the data, and set another label on that row to 'valid/invalid' depending on the data. The problem is, though, that I can't seem to figure out how to keep what they entered in that original text box. Originally, I was trying to use a CustomValidator to serverside validate the code, but it was never showing 'invalid' and I suspect it is for the same reason.* Is there some trick to forcing a gridview to keep the viewstate of it's controls?* My current solution is to save off the data when a postback occurs and reload it when the row is databound, but it feels klunky to me.
