Windows Vista and WinFX Beta 1 Available

Blimey. An interesting day! We did a Microsoft event down in Reading today where we spent some time talking about user interface technologies (Web Forms 2.0, Windows Forms 2.0) and introduced "Avalon" with some demos that seemed to go down fairly well :-) I...

WSE 3.0: Tracing tool updated

Once again, I've updated my tracing tool for the WSE 3.0 Preview. The bits are at http://mtaulty.com/downloads/Wse3Trace.zip It's a change for the installation program - from what I can see the previous version I had published didn't put things in the GAC the...

Deploying Avalon Express (XAPP) Applications with the WinFX CTP B1 RC

I'm sure this is a FAQ but I didn't find it. If you want to deploy Avalon Express applications from your IIS server then you need to register a bunch of MIME types. There's a script in the WinFX B1 RC documentation that you can run to get this done. A very...

Microsoft UK SmartClient Competition

The winners of the Microsoft UK SmartClient competition have been announced. I played a minor part in setting this up and working out how the questions should work and so on so I'm glad to see that it's been successful and that we gave some things away! :-...

VS 2005, Indigo and "Add Web Reference"

This is more than likely a FAQ but I found it helpful yesterday and so I post it here. If you (like me) have installed Visual Studio 2005 onto your machine alongside the WinFX Beta 1 Release Candidate then you'll probably find that when you go to do an "Add...

Avalon: Exporting XAML from Adobe Illustrator

There's a blog post over here ( http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2005/07/12/438178.aspx ) from Mike Swanson about a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator that allows you to export XAML - it's a freebie unsupported download but it looks pretty cool. Also liked...

WSE 3.0 Tracing Tool: Updated

I updated my tracing tool for WSE3.0 ( http://mtaulty.com/blog/archive/2005/06/27/2849.aspx ). I noticed that the installer treated it as a later version of the 2.0 tool rather than a different tool and so wouldn't side-by-side install them. That's been rectified...

Avalon: Playing around with animations and rectangles to make MCE buttons

I've been having a brief play with Avalon and XAML and the first thing I really tried to make (once I got past "hello world") was a button that looked like those ones on the Media Center 2005 screen - the green "glowing" buttons which I...

WSE 2.0: Intermediaries with SoapSender/SoapReceiver

I updated my little WSE "routing" (I use quotes because it doesn't really work properly) experiment in order to be based on SoapSender and SoapReceiver rather than being based on SoapClient and SoapService with an explicit message exchange between the two....

WSE 2.0: Giving up on playing around with intermediaries

I've been bogged down in WSE and SOAP messaging. It came about as part of playing with the WSE-RM sample ( WSE 3.0 Preview- More playing with intermediaries ) and I'm afraid it comes down to a lack of understanding on my part. I've been trying to fathom the...

WSE 3.0 Preview: More playing with intermediaries

Following up on this post WSE 3.0 Preview- Playing with intermediaries I took this a little bit further. In my previous post I'd done something to try and route SOAP messages from a photo sender to a photo receiver through as many intermediaries as I wanted...

Woops

I go and download the WS-ReliableMessaging sample for WSE 3.0 and find it has almost exactly the same "break up the photograph" sample as I just spent time creating :-) There's slight differences but the functionality looks to be the same - that'll teach me...
