  • .NET User group meeting tonight

    Posted May 31st, 2006 at 9:04 pm
    Tonight we had a user group meeting on XForms. First let me tell you that I think it is a big shame that we don't get Xforms capabilities in IE6 or in IE7.It would get rid of all the javascript hassle and hoops we have to go through to get the simplest things done. Anyway, I've been working with atlas a bit more now. And it is really cool just a shame that i can't use other libraries in conjunction.  But I still have to explore the animation api maybe if i can do things that i consider cool eno...
  • Vista Beta 2 has to go :-(((

    The company that hosts one of the servers that I use online is using OpenVPN as their vpn server. And there are no drivers available voor the enhanced security model of Windows vista.  Yep let's call it enhanced security model instead of f***** security dialog boxes that pop up whenever you want to do something that is not an installed program on your pc.I am loving vista absolutely so I'm not uninstalling because I don't think it works. I just think that in my case it is too early to make the...
  • Weird vista stuff

    Apart from the fact that my bluetooth headset won't work with vista. I do have a few other things that keep my mind busy. I think it sucks I can't debug my asp.net apps when they are hosted on a UNC share. (this behavior was already present in XP) If you are like me then you rarely turn off your pc and have it do a lot of stuff for maintenance during the night. This would be nighthly spyware checking, nightly virus scanning and defragmenting on certain days of the month.Well if I leave my pc on ...
  • Vista : a first glance

    I installed vista on my laptop yesterday. And the whole install is very hands-off and painless the price you pay is that it takes ages to complete. But it did install and upgrade my windows XP machine. After booting my new system twice I grabbed the phone and ordered 2GB of extra memory because before vista i was already pushing it so now it's just a necessity to get it. Vista works surprisingly well, it's a shame though that I still can't debug my asp.net applications when they are hosted on a ...
  • Webstock was great !

    Last week on thursday and friday, I attended the webstock convention. The greatest thing about webstock for me personally was that I got to meet all these people that I ordinarily never would meet. I considered myself very lucky when i got to have dinner with Douglas Bowman. I do feel somewhat ashamed for the stupid questions I asked him.I also got to have a chat with Kelly Goto, who came to enlighten us about ethnographics and their huge impact on how websites are perceived. As if that wasn't ...
  • Script# : Nikhil does it again

    Nikhil Kothari must be one of my favourite programmers on the whole world. Beside having learned a lot from his blog posts and book. He also develops these great little tools that really help my life as a developer. This time he wrote a utility called Script# which let's you code normal c# code, not everything is supported yet but in Nikhil I trust ;) and translates it to javascript without all the hassle of writing javascript. I like the possibilities of javascript a lot but hate the whole scri...
  • ATLAS continued : Get the freetextbox going.
    by admin
    Posted May 22nd, 2006 at 9:02 am
    I decided after working a bit more with ATLAS that the client-side needs a LOT more documentation. Some cooperation with other javascript libraries would also be nice.  A properly working dataservice is lacking. I've turned back to the server side controls.  The start of this whole mission was to keep the freetextbox control on a page and still don't have full postbacks.  Upload pictures with progressbar was going to be a plus. How to upload files from within an update panel is something tha...
  • Intellisense for Atlas Xml Script
    by admin
    Posted May 20th, 2006 at 1:24 pm
    I've come across a french guy's blog who has created an intellisens xsd generator for the atlas framework. He says it's not perfect but I'll take whatever I can get that saves me from writing full words. It's not perfect in the sense that it doesn't show you if something is allowed there or not. The link to the article about the intellisense generator:http://blogs.developpeur.org/cyril/archive/2006/04/19/Intellisense_pour_Atlas_c_est_possible_generation_schema_xsd_en_javascript.aspxTo install th...

  • ATLAS cracked the nut
    by admin
    Posted May 20th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
    Ever since i knew about the ATLAS framework it intrigued me because it offers a lot of the features that made me avoid javascript in the past.  The issues that kept me from using javascript are well known to everybody who wrote 7 lines of javascript. Basically it comes down to browser differences in understanding javascript and the differences in the DOM implementation for the two. Then there was Ajax.NET very nice but a lot of extra programming is involved to get minor ajaxy effects. and still...
