HowTo: open older Pi SD card via USB multi-reader on Raspberry Pi
18 Νοεμβρίου 17 03:02 πμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

After doing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade on an older Raspbian installation (at a 4GB SD Card), some corruption occured (probably due to lack of space, since I see newer NOOBS asks for an 8GB SD Card), making it unbootable. Would only show the NOOBS splash screen, but couldn’t boot into Raspbian. I just […]

HowTo: Drop files onto Silverlight controls
27 Μαρτίου 14 05:14 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

I was recently adding drop-files support to ClipFlair Studio, so I had to do some research on the related API that is available to Silverlight apps. Silverlight supports a limited set of Drag-and-Drop interaction with the operating system (supposedly for security reasons, but most probably because of the classic cross-platform implementation pains). For example it […]

HowTo: Bind ASP.net control to list of files or folders
15 Ιουλίου 13 03:33 πμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

At from ClipFlair Gallery metadata input pages for Activities and Clips I had to bind an ASP.net control to a list of files and folders respectively and although I found a Folder Contents DataSource control, it didn’t cover my needs (like filtering of a folder contents). I just contributed my solution using .NET Anonymous Types and […]

HowTo: Remove invalid filename characters in .NET
12 Ιουλίου 13 11:28 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

In ClipFlair Studio I use DotNetZip (Ionic.Zip) library for storing components (like the activity and its nested child components) to ZIP archives (.clipflair or .clipflair.zip files). Inside the ZIP archive its child components have their own .clipflair.zip file and so on (so that you could even nest activities at any depth) which construct their filename […]

Can’t step-through Silverlight file dialogs with Visual Studio debugger
02 Δεκεμβρίου 12 08:58 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

While stepping through “ShowDialog()” method of OpenFileDialog with Visual Studio 2010 debugger, at the Silverlight code pictured below (for loading a ClipFlair window’s stored options), I got a “Dialogs must be user-initiated” exception. Same behaviour will be shown with SaveFileDialog too, every time you try to step through the “ShowDialog()” method. This is because of [...]

broken .LNK files assignment (or how to destroy and fix Windows 7)
06 Ιανουαρίου 12 02:23 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

A friend just called me this morning that their notebook with Windows 7 Starter started today showing the same icon for every Start menu item and for shortcuts (e.g. on the desktop) and when trying to open them the same program would always try to open them. Seems he had right-clicked and done “Open With…” [...]

Windows 7 issue: can’t copy filename of files on read-only media
27 Μαΐου 11 12:22 μμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

Just came across one more case of trying to over-protect users and in the way losing functionality (maybe originally unforeseen functionality, but which is nevertheless useful to many end-users). At Windows 7, Microsoft doesn’t allow you anymore to press F2 or click on a filename to enter edit more for it when the file resides [...]
