I had a little problem today accessing a web resource and I decided to download Google Chrome "to get a second opinion". The last time I did the same thing was quite some time ago and since I got a new laptop recently I hadn't installed it yet. And guess what I found out? Ok, you don't have to guess... you read the title... Yes, Google uses Microsoft .NET's ClickOnce technology to download and automatically upgrade Google Chrome in Windows Environment! If this is not a surprise what is!? Check it out... ! However... Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Super Granny from Sandlot Games is a series of 2D platform games I really love. You control a granny cartoon-like character, trying to collect various stray cats and lead them to a safe place, while avoiding or fighting (or trapping into holes you dig with your shovel) various vicious opponents. You can play a version of it online in Flash, but I prefer running the downloadable version Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

I noticed that if one installs the latest (version 6.0.4) MySQL .NET Connector, Server Explorer pane in Visual Studio 2008 doesn't show the "Browse or Edit Data" action in the context menu for a table anymore. Uninstalling it and installing a previous version (tried with version 5.2.7) makes that action show up again OK. Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Ok you’ve developed your cloud application and you’re ready to publish it to Azure, wait a minute how are you going to upload your database to SQL Azure? Of course you just can’t do a backup – restore to the cloud so what are your options? Well actually there are two ways you could deploy a database to SQL Azure. With the first one you manually create your db schema installation script Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

I recently being asked a lot about a way of making Xaf front end (that is your Solution.Win,Solution.Web) able to host controllers. To many of them i answered that is not possible cause of the Xaf architecture but haven’t thought of it, It was a rushed answer. Anyway i do not have to make a lot of thoughts on it since my friend Panagiotis Kefalidis share that trick with us. First lets give an example of why you want to run controller in your front end. Many security systems need to have access to your executable and through it to your main form. For Xaf the only way to get access to your form is through a controller. So the trick is to fool Xaf front end to make it behave like a module. Modules are capable to run controllers. And how you can do that? It is really Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Before picking up where I left off yesterday , I have to first make a small disclaimer. I received a couple of comments stating that the caching solution I presented wasn’t that sophisticated or complete or that the cache keys that I’ve used were not the right and the answer is of course “yes”. The solution I presented was far from perfect but it served well as a simplified demonstration Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

A caching solution is always necessary if you want to build scalable applications which will handle lots of users and heavy data access without requiring more hardware resources. I’ve already talked about caching when using Entity Framework , but is there a way to use caching in Linq to SQL and what are the problems one might face. To explore caching in Linq to SQL I’ve built a small Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

Yesterday i was speaking with my friend John Pouliezos and he asked me how to the implement the following scenario. John has managed to create a SharePoint feature and now he can have Xaf views as SharePoint lists. Cool eh? What he wanted is the following: for specific User roles to be able to filter a specific web listview by parsing the current browser url. Step1 : for specific User roles to be able to filter a specific web Aha sounds like ModelArtifactState’s job a lot. Cause that module is able to enable or disable behaviours /controllers (doing something) using permissions or the model. We are going to use permissions for this one So no code is needed for step1 ModelAsrtifactState module is going to help us. Step 2 : John explain to me the urls are Διαβάστε περισσότερα »...

I decided recently to test (myself!) whether I could create a small shooting game in Silverlight. Having read the book "Game Programming with Silverlight", I felt somewhat confident in this! After a couple of coding hours, I managed to deliver a decent (well, maybe not!) and simple game, which I am going to present here to you. The game is, in its nature, rather simple.

Έχει ξεκινήσει εδώ και καιρό μία προσπάθεια από πλευράς Microsoft να βοηθήσει όσες εταιρίες έχουν εφαρμογές σε παλαιότερα λειτουργικά να τις περάσουν “αναίμακτα” στα Windows 7. Η προσπάθεια είναι πολύπλευρη (συμμετέχουν δηλαδή πολλά διαφορετικά τμήματα, τόσο από τα κεντρικά στο Seattle, όσο και από τα τοπικά γραφεία της εταιρίας) και έχει διάφορες εκφάνσεις.
