A nice quote from ClipFlair project’s (http://clipflair.net) internal mailing list (the formatting is mine for your convenience): …difference between Dissemination and Impact: Impact is the measure of dissemintation. For example: - Organising a conference is dissemintation. - Number of people attending the conference is impact. - Dissemination is how many e-mails you send. - [...]...

I had such a great time here (as a blogposter). I am moving to biboudis.wordpress.com (update your favorite RSS reader ). I always thought of blogging as a personal public notebook in which I can write some pieces for later reference. This list could be multiplied by 20, if I had taken some time every week to post various things that I liked, I wrote, I met, solved (or not). Some of my posts that I really went back to, at some point, to seek some information were the following. An Extensible WPF client layout with RibbonTab submenus using MEF CloseTabBehavior για TabItems σε Silverlight TabControl A note to self: Silverlight DataBinding awesomeness μέσα από Expression Blend, XAML και ... Silverlight animatable custom controls: quick ‘n’ dirty! [Μαθαίνοντας Design Patterns] Model – View – ViewModel Closures στη C# Πύργοι του Ανόι σε F# Εισαγωγή στα Expression Trees και στις δυναμικές μεθόδους (Visual Studio 2010)...

Below you can find a series of simple demos that can give you a nice insight on the XNA’s power for WP7. All of them are original. Feel free to use them in your code as you wish. There is also a PowerPoint presentation about those demos but unfortunately it is only in Greek. So let the games begin! The basics Demo1 Initializes the game and draws a simple image on the display Demo2 Sprite rotation and movement, Frame rate calculation, writing strings on the display, Demo3 Same as Demo2 but now Frame Rate calculator and bouncing sprite are implemented as game components leading to a more reusable and readable code. Now we can add more bouncing balls in an instant! Parameters are passed to game components through the use of game services Demo4 Multi-touch. Understanding where are the user’s fingers and what they do. A line is drawn and follows each finger that touches the display. The information is passed through game services to the components. Demo5 Gestures. Extending the previous demo to accelerate the...

Let’s talk about cookies. In fact let’s revisit cookies and see how we use them and what nightmares they bring along. Cookies are all about client storage. They are all about storing persistent information at client side. The syntax for creating/reading them is as follows. Imagine that we want to store client side the value 17 in a cookie named id. This is done by the following BLOCKED SCRIPT document.cookie=”id=17;expires=Mon,6 Feb 2012 12:00:00”; When we later want to read the value of the cookie named id we need to search within document.cookie for the string “id=” and fetch the value up to the next “;” character. Based on the previous definitions we may come up with three nice Javascript functions that make our lives a littler easier: Creating a cookie function SetCookie( name , value, expirationInDays) { var now = new Date (); var expire = new Date (); var newCookie = name + " = " + value; if (expirationInDays != null && expirationInDays != 0) { expire.setTime(now.getTime() + 3600000 * 24...

Hello Microsoft, can you count? In the image above you can see the Windows 7 taskbar showing THREE (merged) icons/instances of Internet Explorer, although I only have ONE windows open (they seem to use multiple processes internally when you have many tabs, but why should the user care?). More importantly, in the popup shown when [...]...

Not too long ago, Microsoft released, NuGet , an automated packagemanager for Visual Studio. NuGet makes it easy to download and installassemblies, and their references, into a Visual Studio project. Theseassemblies, which I loosely refer to as packages, are often open source, andinclude projects such as Nhibernate .In this post, I'll explain how to get started in using NuGet with your projectsto include: installng NuGet, installing/uninstalling Nhibernate via consolecommand, and installing/uninstalling Nhibernate via graphical reference menu. Installing NuGet The first step you'll need to take is to installNuGet. Visit the NuGet site, at http://nuget.org/ , click on the Install NuGet button,and download the NuGet.Tools.vsix installation file, shownbelow. Each browser is different (i.e. FireFox, Chrome, IE, etc),so you might see options to run right away, save to a location, or access to thefile through the browser's download manager. Regardless of how youreceive the NuGet installer, execute the downloaded NuGet.Tools.vsix...

Although a bit outdated its better to publish it now than never. Your eXpand collaborations never stop, so it’s a shame to keep them secret from the rest of the community. Latest Collaborations Logic modules( AdditionalViewControlsProvider , MasterDetail , ConditionalDetailViews , ModelArtifact ) as well as ModelDifference , PivotChart were migrated to the new XAF security system. The new custom permissions are located under the Security.Improved namespace in each module. Out of the box support for support for CachedDataStoreService (see also http://goo.gl/BtYxw ) Minor bugs in MasterDetail, PivotChart, ExceptionHandling An eXpand based version of SecurityDemo solution added to our sources. AdditionalViewsControls now have better support for custom controls (see also http://goo.gl/SyvOz ) eXpand has build in support for Sequence objects and we make it possible to to use a custom one. In addition to the big list of runtime member types we added a new custom member type, which allows to specify an callback which...

According to a poll at Framework Programme Sevent (FP7) group on LinkedIn, Horizon 2020 (http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020) may include a cost model change to cover 100% of all direct costs, but limit the overhead rate to a flat 20%. From my perspective this is a change for the better: • now some research organizations’ bureaucratic mechanisms [...]...

This is not going to be a post that will look into WCF Services in great detail. In the near future I will be writing posts on WCF.In a nutshell WCF provides a unified programming model for building service oriented applications. ( read more )...

One of the questions I always got when presented Windows Azure “..is there a way to auto scale our windows azure based services?” with the answer being that unfortunately one will have to build its own custom logic for that at least till Wasabi is released. Well the wait is over, the final release of the Enterprise Library Integration Pack for Windows Azure is now available, according to the blog post, “Announcing the Enterprise Library Integration Pack for Windows Azure with Autoscaling, Transient Fault Handling and more” , which posted last Friday to Microsoft Senior Program Manager Grigori Melnik’s “Thoughts on Agile Software Engineering and Beyond” blog. According to the blog post, this release includes a comprehensive set of technical content, including: Two new application blocks: Autoscaling Application Block (“Wasabi”) to help you to automatically scale both web and worker roles in Windows Azure by dynamically provisioning/decommissioning roles or throttling. Transient Fault Handling Application Block...
