iPhone from Apple: it comes true!

2007-01-10T12:34:00.001+08:00

It's really exiting that Apple annouced the new cell phone socalled "iPhone" in this MacWorld.

iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

Intype: Textmate like Editor on Windows

2007-01-08T18:29:00.000+08:00

Textmate is the best edit tool on the planet, not only in Mac world, while now, there is a new cool edit tool on Windows released alpha version: Intype.

There are two preview videos on the offcial site:

Even Intype team announced that:

No, Intype is not a TextMate clone or port. We really like TextMate and it inspired us a lot. And altough Intype is using the same terminology as TextMate, it is completely different editor. We hope Intype will provide Windows users with the same (or even better) comfort and work flow as does TextMate for Mac users.

I still prefer to call it "Textmate like" because it's really so cool! :)

Setup Visual Studio .NET 2003 web project with IIS 7

2006-12-19T20:18:00.000+08:00

I strongly recommanded you all asp.net developers to have this great article<<How to setup ASP.NET v1.1 (Visual Studio .NET 2003) projects on IIS7 (Vista) >> by Brian.Murphy-Booth.

Relevant resources:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1（required）
ASP.NET Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1（optional）
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 Update for using SendKeys under Microsoft Windows Vista（optional）

Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 ships

2006-12-16T16:01:00.000+08:00

Source from TSS:

More than a year after the release of Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft has finished VS 2005 SP 1. The service pack addresses issues Microsoft discovered through both internal testing and customer feedback.
In all, there are more than 70 enhancements, ranging from support for mobile devices and the SQL Sever Compact Edition to integration with Excel 2007 and Project 2007. In addition, the service pack includes the Web Application Project, which is a previously released tool for migrating Web apps from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0.
Three service packs are available now:

Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 -- This edition covers the standard, professional and team versions of Visual Studio 2005.
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server SP1
Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions SP1 -- Separate downloads are available for the five free versions of Visual Studio 2005: Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#, J# and Web Dev.

Finally, there is a Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista Beta. This service pack, aimed at developers using VS 2005 in conjunction with Vista, will officially ship after the new operating system ships in early 2007.
More information about all the releases is available at the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 development center.

Development life on Vista (2): Common installing tips

2006-12-02T14:01:00.000+08:00

There are some common tips I can give you for your various software's installing:

If the setup file is .exe file, I strongly recommend you use "run as administrator" on the context menu to execute it.
If the setup file is .msi file, I strongly recommend you make a bat file contains the command line msiexec /i "[setup file path]", then run the bat file with "run as administrator" on the context menu.
Maybe when you install some add-ons for Visual Studio 2005 you'll meet an error message "Visual studio 2005 has stopped working...", never mind it please click Cancel button directly on the messagebox, then it will show a new messagebox ask you would debug or close the program, you MUST click the Debug button then the installing succeed, if you click the Close button the installing will failed, it's very special but true.

These tips can't fix all but most possible problems, any way, I still recommend you should better check the install log furthermore.

Hope this post helps.

Development life on Vista (1): What Should you Do When Install Vistual Studio

2006-11-29T12:17:00.000+08:00

As we all known, Microsoft announced that will not support Vistual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003 as development environments on Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2005 is supported, but will have "compatibility issues" until Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 with Vista Support Update ships.

Now I'll discuss some issues with you about installing Visual Studio series products. I think there is no body still using Visual Studio .NET 2002 as development environment now, even not so, we can treat Visual Studio .NET 2002 as Visual Studio .net 2003 on Vista.

For Visual Studio .NET 2003, you'll meet a "compatibility issues" worning message at installing time, don't care please next. After installing completed, I strongly recommend you install Visual Studio .NET 2003 Service Pack 1(here is for Visual Studio .NET 2002). There is a serious issue that Vista does not supported Visual Studio .NET 2003 web project, because the feature is based on IIS5 or IIS6, while IIS7 is next generation and doesn't campatible with it.
For Visual Studio 2005, you'll meet a "compatibility issues" worning message at installing time, don't care please next. I strongly recommend you have steps after installing completed as follows:

You should run Visual Studio IDE with "run as administrator" every time, the best way is:

On the devenv.exe's Properties menu, go to Compatibility tab, checked the box "Run this program as an administrator" under the Privilege Level group.

Hope this post helps.

Windows Vista Secrets for Table PC

Microsoft Adds 3-D City Models to Live Search

2006-11-27T16:00:00.000+08:00

REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 6, 2006 — Microsoft Corp. today announced U.S. availability of Virtual Earth™ 3D, a new online mapping interface that is part of the Live Search offering, providing consumers with a three-dimensional experience to search, browse and explore the real world online.

When people visit Live Search (http://live.com), type a query into the search box and click the “Maps” tab, they get their search results in a map context that offers the option to explore the area using two-dimensional views (aerial and bird’s-eye) or three dimensional models with Virtual Earth 3D. This new technology compiles photographic images of cities and terrain to generate textured, photorealistic 3-D models with engineering level accuracy.

“By helping people visualize information in far more useful and intuitive ways, Virtual Earth 3D takes search to an entirely new level,” said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft. “The immersive 3-D experience provides a more powerful and engaging interface that delivers better experiences not only for consumers, but also for developers and advertisers.”

Three-dimensional models are available initially for 15 U.S. cities: San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Detroit, Phoenix, Houston, Baltimore, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas and Fort Worth. Terrain imagery in 3-D is available globally, and Microsoft expects to offer 3-D imagery in an ever expanding set of cities. Other features provided by Live Search include access to real-time traffic information in select major U.S. cities, and access to business listings “yellow pages” and people listings “white pages” that allows consumers to easily find local information and act on it.

“The release of Virtual Earth 3D is a significant step toward creating a truly new dimension in search not only in the look and feel of the experience but in the way consumers and advertisers can be involved,” said Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of the Online Services Group at Microsoft. “Local search is one of the fastest-growing categories online today, and adding features like 3-D will only help move the category further ahead and help Windows Live attract more customers and advertisers.”

Advertisements will be available within the Virtual Earth 3D experience. Similar to billboards on the side of roads, virtual billboards will be available throughout Live Search in the 3-D view. The ads available within the Virtual Earth 3D experience are created using a combination of technologies from Virtual Earth, Massive Inc. technology, and the advertising platform from Microsoft^® Digital Advertising Solutions. In addition, developers can use the Virtual Earth 3D application programming interface to build these search capabilities into their own applications and Web sites. This and other APIs for Live Search are offered at no cost to developers, with the option to acquire additional support and other benefits through a service-level agreement with Microsoft. Developers can find more information about the Virtual Earth API.

SyncToy tool for Vista

2006-11-26T13:44:00.000+08:00

SyncToy 1.4 for Windows Vista is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center. The easy to use, customizable application helps you copy, move, rename, and delete files between folders and computers.

There are files from all kinds of sources that we want to store and manage. Files are created by our digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store, manage, retrieve and view files. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation. In some cases it is necessary to regularly get copies of files from another location to add to primary location; in other cases there is a need to keep two storage locations exactly in sync. Some users manage files manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and keeping track of whether the locations are synchronized in their heads. Other users may use two or more applications to provide this functionality.

Now there is an easier way. SyncToy, a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows Vista, is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without additional complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another case. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.

SyncToy was released as a beta in early August 2005 for Windows XP. Features added in response to customer feedback include:

The ability to type in a UNC path;
Support for longer folder pair names and ability to widen the left pane to see those longer names;
The ability to support the maximum length for folder paths, and documentation was added to the help file about how to set up a share to be able to sync deep folder pairs;
Better handling of the difference in precision between NTFS and FAT timestamps;
More discoverable link to the help file for information on how to schedule SyncToy using the Windows XP Task Scheduler;
Support for 800x600 screen resolution;
Added a warning for users if the selected action will take some time to complete;
Added brief explanations of the actions in the user interface;
Improved behavior when choosing folders to include or exclude when there are large numbers of folders involved;
Improved support for accessibility modes.

Windows Vista: Now is the Time!

2006-09-20T10:27:00.000+08:00

Jim Allchin, the co-president of platforms & services from Microsoft, published this open letter to all windows developers.

Are you ready for Windows Vista? We know the world is! Barring any unforeseen quality issues such as bugs around data corruption, resiliency, or security, we remain on track for business availability of Windows Vista later this year, with our consumer launch in January. Those of you who have started using RC1 can see how stable the product already is. We are very close to being done.
Windows Vista is going to give you, developers, new opportunities on a scale you haven't seen since Windows 95. Industry analysts predict that some 200 million people will be using Windows Vista within the first 24 months of launch. We're rapidly approaching launch, and then millions of people will be looking for applications. People will flock to software that is new, compelling, and "cool." You have GOT to be ready for this opportunity. We have invested heavily in both the .NET Framework 3.0 and traditional Win32 APIs in Windows Vista. With Visual Studio you can create applications that are visually stunning, connected, workflow-enabled, and secure. You can get a preview of some of the great features in the upcoming next release of Visual Studio that will make development for Windows Vista even more powerful. And the new line of Microsoft Expression products will make it much easier for developers and designers to collaborate on creating great experiences for Windows.
More than 1,000 companies are engaged in our early adopter programs, and some of the initial work I've seen has simply blown me away. People will just love these applications - from new DX10 games to cool Sidebar gadgets to new rich visual enterprise applications. Some of these apps are mind-bogglingly cool. And, some of the best work is being done by small companies that many of you probably haven't heard of, so the opportunities for changing the world are clear. We've created a showcase so you can see what some of your peers are doing.
What do you need to do to be ready? First of all, make sure your application is compatible. We have made tremendous investments in Windows Vista to ensure backwards compatibility, but some of the system enhancements, such as User Access Control, changes to the networking stack, and the new graphics model, may require code changes on your part. You should work hard to run as standard user.
We've got tools to help you:

The Application Compatibility Cookbook will give you in-depth information on the new capabilities in Windows Vista and how they may affect existing applications.
The Windows Vista site on MSDN includes the latest technical material and gives you pointers to our upcoming worldwide launch events.
Visit the Innovate on Windows Vista portal to get access to tools, resources, and Windows Vista logo program information. I strongly encourage you to apply for the Certified for Windows Vista Logo.

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your Microsoft representative, post to MSDN Forums, or send us feedback directly.
As I said, the opportunity will be tremendous. If you want to ride the wave we're creating with Windows Vista, the best way is to have your application ready by the time we ship! And that is very soon.
thanks,
jim

Is "beta" equals Web 2.0?

2006-09-11T17:31:00.000+08:00

Today Fred published a blog Stop using the “beta” label. It's a really interesting thing that somebody feel deeply tired with the boring "beta" trend after all :D

Why beta? You released some projects while you feel them aren't quite ready to go, so you can tagged "beta" because they aren't prefect for users yet.

Why beta? It's related with some known web 2.0 principles, liked "release early", "feedback quickly", "update frequently" and so on, because there is no site can meet users' requirement exactly, there is always changing, changing, and carry on.

Why beta? That means you promised you will keep tracing your user's feedback and improving your service, sure, that equals promises.

So, you can labeled your site "beta" early, but if your site doesn't meet the web 2.0 principles especially "update frequently", please removed the label, otherwise like Fred said:

"Just don’t label your web applications beta."

IronPython 1.0 ships now

2006-09-07T14:07:00.001+08:00

It's very cool that after 9 RC version, IronPython 1.0 is available on CodePlex now, with many resources include Binaries, Source code, and tutorials, you can download it from here.

IronPython is an implementation of the dynamic programming language "Python". Jim Hugunin, the lead of IronPython team, have a funny talk at the release notes:

I started work on IronPython almost 3 years ago. My initial motivation for the project was to understand all of the reports that I read on the web showing that the Common Language Runtime (CLR) was a terrible platform for Python and other dynamic languages.

A bit more on IronPython, from Aaron Marten's WebLog.

How do I get IronPython Integration in Visual Studio 2005?

First, you'll need to go download the latest release of the Visual Studio SDK (April 2006). You'll need to register on the VSIP members site. You can register for free as an affiliate level member. Also note that you'll need to agree to the VSIP license.

What version of Visual Studio do I need? Can I use this with an Express edition?

Unfortunately, no. The Visual Studio Express editions do not support extensibility (addins & packages). This is a limitation of the Express products and not a limitation we are placing on the sample. You will need Visual Studio Standard or higher to build and use the sample.

Hope helps.

Yet another way of exporting to Excel file from HTML without Excel

2006-09-01T14:15:00.000+08:00

Yes, many of solutions of exporting to Excel from HTML should using Excel.exe process, it's a perfect way to access Excel model but with a hard problem that handling the Excel.exe process at web server side. while some few ways without Excel is too simple, indeed, is XML format file.

There is yet another way to treat the data as Excel format without Excel now.

At HTML code:

<html xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <xml>
      <x:ExcelWorkbook>
        <x:ExcelWorksheets>
          <x:ExcelWorksheet>
            <x:Name>
              <!-- work sheet name -->
            </x:Name>
            <x:WorksheetOptions>
              <x:Print>
                <x:ValidPrinterInfo />
              </x:Print>
            </x:WorksheetOptions>
          </x:ExcelWorksheet>
        </x:ExcelWorksheets>
      </x:ExcelWorkbook>
    </xml>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- data to export -->
  </body>
</html>

At the server script code:

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

That's all! as you see, the key of this way is using XSD to access the Excel model.

Hope helps.

Is this vs2005 beta 2 bug or my fault?

2005-10-14T18:30:00.000+08:00

when i try to implement the interface System.Collections.Generic.IList.
i met this error:

'ClassLibrary1.CustomList' does not implement interface member 'System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()'. 'ClassLibrary1.CustomList.GetEnumerator()' is either static, not public, or has the wrong return type.

and my code just like this:

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
{
return new CustomEnumerator(_field1);
