I recently posted a list of the VS2015 extensions I use on my main machine at: https://zoomicon.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/visual-studio-2015-extensions-i-use/ From that list of extensions I use the Productivity Power Tools one, it has a "Power Commands > Remove and Sort Usings" action that one can right click and run on the whole solution. Much easier than opening […]

Exploring the Kinect SDK v1.8 Developer Toolkit Browser application, I noticed some audio positioning visualizations at various samples (specifically at Audio Basics, Audio Explorer and Kinect Explorer samples), but I kept on looking for some simpler/cleaner sample code to return audio positioning info that would be easier to reuse. So I can across http://kinectaudioposition.codeplex.com that […]

This is my answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4475391/wpf-silverlight-find-the-name-of-a-color Modified answer from Thomas Levesque to populate the Dictionary only when 1st needed, instead of taking the cost at startup (going to use at speech recognition-driven turtle graphics, so that user can pronounce known color names to change the turtle’s pen color) //Project: SpeechTurtle (http://SpeechTurtle.codeplex.com) //Filename: ColorUtils.cs //Version: 20150901 […]

While adding more voice commands at SpeechTurtle, I had to update the active legend where the available commands are displayed and their text is highlighted as the respective commands are recognized by the speech recognition engine (using .NET’s managed Speech API). A problem I faced was how to add a newline and prefixing the 2nd […]

I have a small older Tablet PC (Lenovo S10-3t) that I’m running Windows 10 on, having replaced its internal classic SATA hard disk with an SSD one, and since SSD space is scarce (being more expensive I got a smaller in size disk than the original one), I needed to make free space. Since that […]

Copying here my comment at a discussion on the GraphX project: https://github.com/panthernet/GraphX/pull/15 in case it helps somebody in using MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) in their software’s architecture ——– Using static classes instead of interfaces can mean though that you need to use reflection to call them (e.g. if you wan to have a list of […]

The Windows 8/8.1 app version of Internet Explorer is also known as IE Metro because of the “Metro” codename (inspired by navigation signs in public transport] of the Modern UI design language promoted by Microsoft). However that version isn’t the full Internet Explorer, in that it is unfortunately not supporting extensibility via plugins in the […]

At a Neo4j question in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19624414/delete-node-and-relationships-using-cypher-query-over-rest-api, a recent reply (older ones use obsolete Cypher syntax) says: Both START and the [r?] syntax are being phased out. It’s also usually not advised to directly use internal ids. Try something like: match (n{some_field:"some_val"}) optional match (n)-[r]-() delete n,r So, to delete all nodes (including disconnected ones) and […]

at http://zachis.it/blog/7-dangers-of-using-windows-server-on-a-wordpress-installation/ the thing that guy says about Permalinks isn’t accurate at all (not that the other things that he says are any accurate that is). WordPress Codex have documentation on how to configure URL rewriting in web.config that is necessery for Permalinks to work in IIS. e.g. at http://ClipFlair.net, if you press the "about" […]

PivotViewer is an impressive Silverlight control (see my usage at http://gallery.clipflair.net), however Microsoft never released it for WPF. One could work arround this by embedding Silverlight in their WPF app using the WebBrowser control and talking to it via the JavaScript Bridge of Silverlight, however they could also embed one of those HTML5 PivotViewer-compatible controls […]

Trovigo.com is an unwanted search engine hijacker that renders Internet Options of Windows / Internet Explorer inaccessible.

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 […]
