By Default scrolling with the mouse wheel is not enabled in the Silverlight DataGrid, actually I don’t think any control has it enabled. Personally I think its pretty standard functionality for things to scroll with the mouse wheel. So, I have got this little chunk of code that takes does the trick, nothing fancy going on here, but it works a treat. Code Snippet private void dgResults_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseWheelEventArgs e) { if (!e.Handled) { int rowsToMove = 0; if (e.Delta < 0) { rowsToMove...
Silverlight makes working with videos pretty straight forward, Microsoft makes Silverlight pretty straight forward with ASP.net and sharepoint is written in ASP.net, so match made in tech heaven!! I wanted a video player web part for sharepoint, that had some simple functionality like play, pause and volume. I started with expression encoder which output a nice media player interface...this is OK, but has a couple of restrictions; 1, its far to rich for what I wanted, animations all over the place...
I mentioned a while back that I had something I was working on that involved a change in language, actually a pretty radical change. I have been working on vocational project written in VB.net and made heavy use of LINQ to SQL. I wasn't sure of LINQ to SQL for anything else other than RAD and to be honest I'm still not. Anyway, I'm not getting into that debate. Needless to say I went all the way and don't use a single sproc in this project. Some of you will know I play cricket every Saturday for...
When working with asp.net and now XAML I lean towards code view over the designer, a preference of course, but considering this feature I guess I am not alone. When working with events in XAML you can simply type "Click=" and the nice little helper jumps up asking what event handler you'd like to wire it up to or even create a new one and the stub will be created. NICE! As an added little beauty, this doesn't automatically send you off into the code behind. Why-o-Why isn't it the same for asp.net...
When you want to host Silverlight 2.0 applications in IIS you need to add the extension .xap for the MIME type applicaition/x-silverlight-... otherwise zip, no errors, nadda, nothing, zilch!! Technorati Tags: Silverlight 2.0,MIME type...
Last Wednesday was my last day at the university, where I have been working. I am starting a new job for a law firm, taking a little twist in technology as I move from mainly doing back-end development to a far more user centric environment on a large MOSS 2007 project, which is my preferred space. I have enjoyed my time at the uni, but among other things I will NOT miss the nightmare commute everyday. This is the leaving card I was presented with ;-) And a couple bottles of wine, one being my favourite...
Right, the virtual server is up and running...time to soak up some SharePoint...get some dnrTv episodes down my throat. Sahil Malik recorded a series of SharePoint episodes, 4 in fact. He starts with what happens when SharePoint is installed and finishes with some massive XML files for a Business Data Catalogue application. Tip: They are an hour long, so watch it in fast mode, the talking speed is still good and it only takes 30 mins to watch. Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Note: You can...
I seem to be working more and more my lappy these days...still always on the my PC at the office but when at home the laptop has taken over from my machine of choice...strange really because I love having two monitors and find it a fantastic way to work but I guess the freedom a laptop has to offer wins the day. Anyway, I digress...seeing I was working on it more and more I decided to get myself a Christmas present in the guise of a specialist notebook mouse, I looked at several offerings from Microsoft...
MIX is over and this is the first of two posts covering the final day. I am currently on the train home with my lappy in power saving mode, minimum CPU etc etc. 1.5 hours left so I should get enough time to say what needs to be said! Today I decided instead of going the main stream route all the way I would slip off to a smaller session. After a chat with Scott Guthrie (!) I decided to miss the first of his two part session on VS 2008 and asp.net 3.5, I read most of the content on his blog and have...
The final session of Mix:UK 07 was a sneak peeks session. This covered about 8 new things that we can expect to see from Microsoft and a partner or two. The pick of the bunch were (in my opinion): A product called SeaDragon that will be released as part of Silverlight 1.1 next year, its a way a handling/rendering/doing something with high res images so you can use very high res images in your Silverlight app to enable the user to zoom right in and still be clear without having huge performance overheads,...
Day one is over at MIX UK. As my first experience of a Microsoft conference I must say I was not disappointed :) The conference opened with a keynote from George Moore and Scott Guthrie and lots of small demos from third party companies and the little apps they have developed using MS technologies, mainly Silverlight, which is the main theme of the conference, well day one at least!! In the first and second session I stayed with ScottGu and watched as he ripped through the power of silverlight, present...
OK, so just about everyone reading this post will be aware of LINQ, if not you can checkout that link, another great place is that man, ScottGu's blog. Anyway, I found myself with a spare few minutes (hence this post) which was largely due to how quick LINQ dealt with my small and simple task. I wanted to read user data out of a database and create a new XML file with that data (there is some stuff to go on after that but unless LINQ can compress and email files its use ends here!) There is nothing...
OK so anyone reading this is most likely aware that Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 has been released but you may not be aware that today they have released Silverlight RC1, Silverlight 1.1 tools for VS 2008. Plus MS have released a refresh to Expression Blend. Scott Hanselman's has the best post I have seen and is a one stop shop for all VS 2008 info. Check it out http://www.hanselman.com/bl... UPDATEI should really add for completeness, even though its already...
Tim Hibbard has tagged me, so here goes... Meet more developers Not so long ago I posted about a new user group in my area (well, 1hr drive away) yet I am still to attend a meeting, I really must; I know very few developers and I have no doubt I could learn a great deal from attending such event and hopefully enjoy the whole thing! Targeted Reading & LearningI do spend a lot of time reading, researching and playing with new stuff but need to target my reading/learning. I tend to read loads of...
So recently I have been trying to play with VS Orcas and Silverlight but hit a huge wall. After installing Orcas, the silverlight add-in for it and the silverlight Alpha runtime I still was unable to view any silverlight content, the same "Install Silverlight" graphic would appear. After some considerable google time I found this link from Walt Ritscher and one of the comments did the trick. Basically... 1. Close IE72. Un-install all versions of silverlight runtime3. Delete the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{...
