At the Robotics Group 's lab at the university, we have a multipurpose machine from HP , model "OfficeJet 6100 all-in-one". I was told today it was broken (when starting up made funny sounds from the scanner - couldn't move the scanning lamp & sensors bar) and that the technician at a computer shop they took it at told them it wasn't worth fixing (higher cost to send it Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Maybe not with the build in modules and not exactly before lunch but the difference between traditional programming and Xafing is really great. I am going to continue my posts on WorldCreator module and going to inform you about the progress up to here. New persistent objects have been designed and added to eXpand .BaseImpl assembly in order module consumers to be able to change that implementation The code that creates the Dynamic types and synchronies Xpo dictionary and model dictionary at application startup is there as well Sample application installation created and can be download, so I can get some feedback on it from anyone will play with it Not Implemented Create Dynamic types without restarting the application Not tested for web Cannot create Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

I just installed Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 on my machine. I only had little time to play with it so far but I'm so excited! Finally dialog boxes are fast! I never understood so far why 'Create New Project' and 'Add New Item' were so slow in previous versions! Any why 'Add Reference' was opening .NET Assembly tab by default and not Project tab. Guess what! Huge improvement in VS 2010! Dialogs open extremely fast and Add Reference shows Project tab by default now. And even if you press COM or .NET tabs they are rendered in a few milliseconds! Startup time of Visual Studio itself seems also improved! Permalink | Leave a comment »...

Today i ll reveal a big and mysterious secret. It seems that DevExpress has a new module that very few people know about it.

I briefly got the chance to talk about MetaCMS , the content management system and e-shop platform I’ve designed and built, a while back. Since then a lot of sites have been built using it. Some of which (the biggest ones) include: www.nooz.gr (former www.flash.gr) www.progreece.gr www.e-tipos.gr www.zougla.gr And as if building these sites wasn’t enough we’ve decided to completely Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

CNET TechTracker ( www.download.com ) can help you get notifications when a new version of software installed on your machine is released! It really works! You can configure to automatically run on windows tray and check for new software daily, weekly, monthly or manually. I suppose that this is possible only for software being distributed over download.com , but this is fairly big software database! The results are reported to you with a tray notification or on the web. I've seen other applications like this one in the past, but none from such an important vendor like CNET. I suggest you try it out! See part of the results for my PC... See and download the full gallery on posterous Permalink | Leave a comment »...

Nasty bug I just came across. When you do at localized Greek version of Window Vista: Rmdir /s somefolder it asks (in Greek text) for confirmation of folder deletion but suffixes the prompt with a (Y/N) instead of (Ν/Ο) [nai = yes for greek and oxi = no) and however accepts only the Ν/Ο greek chars there. Very hard for the user to understand what to enter there and more importantly Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Here's a reply of mine to a discussion on the impractical GUI of Touch Screen desktop PCs: Have you seen graphics designer desks? They have a big inclination and their top (the side that's away and opposite from you) is around your neck, whereas the close side is a bit above your lap. Of course you can't put things on that desk, but it's useful for designing stuff. Also they have special Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Quoting from Joe Audette 's (main author of the superb opensouce mojoPortal CMS for ASP.net ) blog: ...you include the normal css for the jquery ui theme, and you add another css file below it in the page (it must be lower in the page in order to override the style settings above it in the jquery ui css).

THE PROBLEM –> HTTP 400 Bad Request (The data is invalid) Xaf provides peristent of your web listview setting to cookies using Options | SaveListViewStateInCookies attribute in the Application Model. But due to the limit in request buffer size of IIS your web browser will receive a HTTP 400 Bad Request (The data is invalid) when you overcome it. DevExrpess suggest you either persist individual listviews in order you never overcome that limit or as Microsoft also suggested here to add a registry value to raize that limit. SOLUTION ModelDifference module provides the Options | SaveListViewStateInDataStore that can persist your listview settings to your user model and thus to the database and since your model is persistent also at database Technorati Tags: Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

There are quite a few developers that believe that Linq to SQL is dead in favor of EF. That’s not the case though and I have the facts to prove it. Here’s the list of changes that are coming with the next .net framework, .Net 4.0. Performance Query plans are reused more often by specifically defining text parameter lengths (when connecting to SQL 2005 or later) Identity cache lookups Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...
