Moving to Vista 5456

I moved to the 5456 build of Vista (for my Vista installation, I still have XP as well to fall back on). This is not a build that’s so easy to get hold of if you’re external but there are reviews of it such as at Paul Thurrott’s site here...

FJAX

This one is a bit bizarre to me - using an ability of the Flash player to build AJAX apps without having to worry about the script code. I'm all for avoiding script but driving the Flash player solely to do this seems a little perverse to me but there yoy go...

Using Workflow Rules Outside of a Workflow

Came across this sample for using the Workflow Rules engine outside of Workflow (in this case to do validation on a form). I've had a quick peek through the code at this point but haven't run it as it requires some DB setup but it looks very interesting.

WPF and scrolling text

I was trying to figure out how to scroll some text in a "news ticker" style fashion from left to right across the screen. I didn't quite get there but I got part way along so I thought I'd share the xaml file for that. I was trying to stay declarative rather...

WPF and Effects

Just something I came across today that I hadn't seen before although I remember some mention of it at the PDC last year which was the support in WPF for effects such as blur and so on. I had a very quick play - here's a piece of XAML and here's what it looks...

More on WinFS

I don't read him very often (not really my cup of tea) but it seems that Robert Scoble is suggesting that WinFS isn't needed and has gone away because no-one needs a hard-drive any more as everything is done in the cloud . It's funny because if I look at where...

WinFS "Changes"

It looks like the project that was WinFS has disappeared. Check out this blog posting . From the posting - some of the constituent pieces are going into ADO.NET and others are dropping into mainstream SQL Server but it's hard to see from where the idea of ...

Calling FlickR from MFC

Mike got a question about calling web services such as the one offered by FlickR from an MFC application and he was talking to me about it. This harks back to a post I made the other day about using .NET code from a C++ application . If I want to call something...

Windows CardSpaces and Information Cards

From Kim Cameron's blog , I'm really pleased to read that Information Cards stay named as "Information Cards" and that the new term "Windows CardSpaces" only refers to the Windows implementation of an identity selector for Information Cards. Keith Brown has...
