Αρκετές φορές υπάρχουν πράγματα τα οποία ερωτεύεσαι από την πρώτη στιγμή και θέλεις να είναι όλα πλέον έτσι.

To improve development time and achieve better results we need to use frameworks like XAF . Moreover with XAF it’s really easy to create applications that are maintainable at runtime! After designing a domain model in VS we are almost ready to go. At this point, however we need a smart and flexible importing mechanism for feeding our domain models with initial data. Customers are impressed when they see real world data! So lets build together this mechanism proving once more the XAF power. Requirements Domain model agnostic. This really means that our importing algorithms should depend only on object types. Therefore we can implement this as an attribute and decorate our domain objects. Database agnostic XPO that supports all common database engines with its rich metadata API is our answer here. Flexible mapping configuration For this we are going to create the an XPO dictionary on the fly. Querying our domain object attributes we can map this dictionary correctly. Inheritance mapping...

Δεν είναι λίγες οι φορές που θέλουμε να αυτοματοποιήσουμε διαδικασίες ή να κάνουμε εργασίες μαζικά χωρίς να μπλέκουμε με το UI στα SQL Server Reporting Services. Για να κάνουμε κάτι τέτοιο πολλές φορές θα χρειαστεί να γράψουμε κάποιο script σε Visual Basic .NET το οποίο θα πρέπει να εκτελεστεί με το rs.exe utility που έχουν τα SSRS. more...

In this post I will show you how to create a simple tabbed interface using JQuery,HTML 5 and CSS. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of JQuery (minified version) from http://jquery.com/download. Please find here all my posts regarding JQuery .Also have a look at my posts regarding HTML 5 . In order to be absolutely clear this is not (and could not be) a detailed tutorial on HTML 5. There are other great resources for that.Navigate to the excellent interactive tutorials of W3School. Another excellent resource is HTML 5 Doctor . Two very nice sites that show you what features and specifications are implemented by various browsers and their versions are http://caniuse.com/ and http://html5test.com/ . At this times Chrome seems to support most of HTML 5 specifications.Another excellent way to find out if the browser supports HTML 5 and CSS 3 features is to use the Javascript lightweight library Modernizr . In this hands-on example I will be using Expression Web 4.0.This application is not a free application....

Please find here all my posts regarding JQuery .Also have a look at my posts regarding HTML 5 . In order to be absolutely clear this is not (and could not be) a detailed tutorial on HTML 5.

It is human nature to jump right into a project without spending the necessary preparation time to ensure success. They say that 80% of the effort painting a room is preparation (laying the tarps, cleaning the walls, taping the trim, etc.). This is also the case when developing applications. If you don’t properly storyboard the [...]...

Recently I needed to disable the right-click contextual menu in an HTML page for a very simple HTML application I was creating for a friend. This is going to be a short post where I will demonstrate how to disable the right-click contextual menu. I will use the very popular JQuery Library. Please download the library (minified version) from http://jquery.com/download Please find here all my posts regarding JQuery . In this hands-on example I will be using Expression Web 4.0.This application is not a free application. You can use any HTML editor you like.You can use Visual Studio 2012 Express edition. You can download it here . I am going to create a very simple HTML 5 page with some text and an image. The HTML markup for the page follows. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>HTML 5, CSS3 and JQuery</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"> <script type="text/javascript"...

This is going to be the ninth post in a series of posts regarding HTML 5. You can find the other posts here , here , here , here , here , here , here and here . In this post I will demonstrate how to implement a very common feature found in websites today, enabling the visitor to increase or decrease the font size of a page. You can use the JQuery code I will write in this post for HTML pages which do not follow the HTML 5 standard. As I said earlier we need to write JavaScript to implement this functionality. I will use the very popular JQuery Library. Please download the library (minified version) from http://jquery.com/download In this hands-on example I will be using Expression Web 4.0.This application is not a free application. You can use any HTML editor you like.You can use Visual Studio 2012 Express edition. You can download it here .
