  • Community Server Byte for June 1, 2007

    blog bits ScottW with a rather reserved rant in asking the very valid question of why Telligent couldn't have been provided pre-releases of Microsoft Live Writer bits in "WLW Good For Community Server, Great for LAMP." If for no other reason, sparing you from a pent-up alliteration spree. As Scott points out, with supporting disappointment from Rob Howard, several WordPress and other LAMP-stacked engines have better support than .NET-based Community Server. No argument with anything...

  • Microsoft Surface - Where Your Dreams Are Their Passion

    When I write this post, almost everybody knows about Microsoft Surface and is enjoying the future. From a view, this new product was very interesting for me and that was the usage of WPF in it. You know that I've been with WPF from early Beta days of .NET Framework 3.0 and have authored several resources about WPF and XAML online. Due to my passion in this field (and generally in .NET 3.x), many friends and guys who met me were asking about the new stuff in .NET 3.0 and 3.5 and were interested...

  • Three New Releases on Windows Live

    Today Windows Live teams released new Beta versions of three Live products: Windows Live Writer Beta 2 , Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta 1 and Windows Live Mail Beta 2 . Release notes for these new versions are available here . This is the first post that I send via Live Writer Beta 2. New UI is much better than first one and there are a few additions that can make blogging easier. The new inline spell checking is the one that I love it. One interesting point about all these releases is all they...

  • Community Server Byte for May 29, 2007

    blog bits The CS2007 Theming Extravaganza has been extended for 60 days. That's a long extension. Reactions on the announcement thread. Spout.com, a Community Server-based site I covered a year ago during the heyday of the CS Daily News is getting considerable TechCrunch love. Here are last year's CS Bit Spout.com bits. I've continued my Community Server Ajax Control Toolkit integration series with posts on Getting Started, a reminder to trim the Ajax Control Toolkit compiled DLL size...

  • ASP.NET Ajax and Community Server: JavaScriptCommentStripperTask not found

    I bumped into this error when I tried to do a Release Mode compile of the Ajax Control Toolkit project in my Community Server solution.

  • Community Server 2007 BlogML Converter

    A forum post on Community Server forums bit me to make an update on my Community Server 2007 BlogML converter which was released in Beta days and make the final version available for community members. Therefore I updated my converter to final version of Community Server 2007 and made it public even though Beta download package was working fine and I just updated my version numbers everywhere! You can download Community Server 2007 BlogML converter from our workspace. Read More...

  • ASP.NET Ajax and Community Server: Referenced Assembly Strong Names

    We're starting to make progress integrating the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit into Community Server when we...D'OH!...encounter "Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly CommunityServer.Components does not have a strong name." We could generate strong names for CS.Components and any other reference assemblies or, heck, unsign the Toolkit assembly and remove the AjaxControlToolkit.snk key. Next. Read More...

  • ASP.NET Ajax and Community Server: Trim your Toolkit

    This is a basic ASP.NET rule that's easy to forget, but if using the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit with another application like Community Server, we score big if we remember to trim the toolkit of the code we don't need. The full Ajax Control Toolkit project DLL like the above weighs in at 1332KB when compiled in Debug mode and 764KB in Release mode. We've customized the Toolkit's SlideShow control for Community Server and added a Web Service in the Toolkit project in a /Services...

  • Expose a WCF Service From a COM+ Component

    Running a WCF service from a COM+ component is one of main aspects of integration between WCF and other technologies. Building a WCF service based on a COM+ component is a straightforward task. There are a few steps to follow in order to get this done. First you need to create a COM+ component and implement your code logic from an interface. Then register your COM+ component in GAC and create a web directory for it. And finally use ComSvcConfig command to generate client proxy class and configuration...

  • ASP.NET Ajax and Community Server: Getting Started

    This is the first in a series of posts on getting started with ASP.NET Ajax and adding it to an existing application, in our case, Community Server 2007. This is possible because all of the source code for the controls is included in the Ajax Control Toolkit. Since we have the source code, we can create custom versions of existing Ajax toolkit controls that use the Community Server API. An example of a CS-customized Ajax Toolkit control is my CS Ajax Slideshow control. Joe Stagman's Video series...

  • Community Server Byte for May 26, 2007

    forum bits OnesAndTwos uses the Morpheus IExtended Membership, Profile and Role Provider interfaces to get membership information through web services and wanted to say that he was now a Black Box Believer. Robhuz considers the mechanics of offering a blog in multiple languages and links to an example language control. Neils is looking for CS Skinners for immediate work on a 1 to 2 day job. Ben explains how CS2007 still supports the Quote+Reply button as well as now supporting post portion and multiple...

  • Integrating WCF Clients with ASMX Services

    Back in December 2006 I linked to Thom Robbins' blog post about integrating WCF with ASMX services . The other side of integration between WCF and ASMX services is integration between WCF clients and ASMX services which is the title of this post. First I create an ASMX service to build my WCF client for it. using System; using System.Web; using System.Web.Services; using System.Web.Services.Protocols; [ WebService (Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/" )] [ WebServiceBinding (ConformsTo...

  • And Then There Were 29

    Today marks the beginning of my 30th trip around the sun (I'm 29 for any math challenged folks). Just so everyone knows, I plan on staying 29 for a few years, so we won't be celebrating next year this time. This birthday will be low key...eating at a local Greek restaurant with friends and family, followed by some dancing: My favorite DJ (James Zabiela) is in town tonight, and he's always absolutely incredible. So, happy birthday to me! Read More...
