Using JQuery with WinJS

by Corrado Cavalli via Corrado's BLogs on 1/31/2012 6:20:32 PM

I can hardly imagine any serious web development without JQuery so I did  a quick test to check if it can be used inside a WinJS project and answer is: yes! even if not in its total completeness. You can’t use any CDN to get JQuery library, it must be included in your project (quite obvious since application must load even without any network connection) so I’ve grabbed latest version and added it to my WinJS project I then later created a very naïve HTML page: <!DOCTYPE html>&l ...

Using the Live SDK in Windows 8 XAML/C# Metro Applications

by Michael Crump via Michael Crump on 1/30/2012 8:00:00 AM

I have a new article published on SilverlightShow today called, “Using the Live SDK in Windows 8 XAML/C# Metro Applications”. Article Introduction The Microsoft’s Live SDK (or commonly referred to as Live Connect), provides a set of controls and APIs that enables applications to integrate single sign-on (SSO) functionality using Windows Live ID. You can also use it to access data in SkyDrive, Hotmail, and Windows Live Messenger. The library supports multiple platforms, including Windows Phone ...

WP7 – Changing Visuals Based on Phone Theme with ThemeToStateBehavior

by vbandi via VBandi's blog on 1/29/2012 12:00:31 PM

The built-in resources in Windows Phone 7 help a lot with  automatically reflecting the selected theme of the phone. (See my earlier blog post: Being theme aware in Windows Phone 7 Silverlight apps). However, sometimes you want to be theme aware, but need more than the predefined resources. For example, you may want to have a generally blue background color, but want it to be a dark blue for the dark theme, and a light blue for the light theme. I created a little Behavior that allows you to ...

Foreach, IEnumerable, IEnumerator, and Duck Typing

by admin via Brendan Enrick on 1/27/2012 10:00:00 AM

During my Software Craftsmanship Precompiler session, I heard one of the students say, “all you need is an IEnumerable to use a foreach loop”. This sparked a bit of fun when I asked Steve Smith, my co-presenter, if that was correct. He confirmed that it was, and I disagreed. Being the scientists that we are, we decided to try it and see what happened. I of course knew that duck typing in C# should allow the Foreach loop to compile without anything having the method required by the IEnumerable in ...

Bug fix: WPF4 project template for #MVVMLight V3

by Laurent Bugnion via Silverlight on 1/24/2012 11:40:09 PM

Ironically, my last release of MVVM Light V3 was about fixing bugs in templates and making them better. In the process however, seems that I introduced a regression bug in the WPF4 project templates. Yep shit happens. How do I know if I have the bug? Check the Programs and Features control panel, and look for MVVM Light. If the “Version” column shows 3.0.2.19, you have the bug. If it shows anything higher, you don’t. For instance, the new version with the bug correction is 3.0.3.19. Also, any ...

GeekRider - the goal, technical perspective

by einar@dolittle.com (Einar Ingebrigtsen) via Einar Ingebrigtsen on 1/21/2012 3:51:20 AM

As I briefly mentioned earlier I am endeavoring on a project which is going to demand a lot from me physically, but also from a technical perspective. I have a lot of things on my plate, during daytime I'm 100% engaged with work at clients, nighttime is the time I have to squeeze in a lot of activities into. For one, I have two kids that needs my attention - and I have a golden rule of engaging with them from the time I get back from work till they're in bed. This leaves some 2-4 hours left per ...

“Metro Done Right” according to my tweeps

by vbandi via VBandi's blog on 1/20/2012 10:17:29 AM

Getting a new designer into Metro is always a challenge. They ask me to show them really good Metro implementations in WP7 apps to learn from. So, I turned to the wisdom of my Twitter followers, and asked them: “What Windows Phone 7 apps should I show an aspiring designer who wants to see examples of “Metro done right”? I received a dozen or so answers – so here is what my tweeps recommended, in no particular order: Birdsong recommended by @chton   4th & Mayor recommended by @ ...

In many cases we need to dynamically add the Silverlight application inside a webpage. In this post, we will learn the process to host ...

Windows Azure

by ScottGu via ScottGu's Blog on 1/16/2012 6:35:57 AM

As some of you might know, I’ve spent much of my time the last 6 months working on Windows Azure – which is Microsoft’s Cloud Computing Platform (I also continue to run the teams that build ASP.NET, core pieces of .NET and VS, and a bunch of other products too). I’m pretty excited about where we are going with Windows Azure – it is going to enable a number of great new scenarios for developers.  Over the next few months I’m going to be blogging a lot more about it – and I’ll cover both wha ...
