One Tweet by Oliver Sturm (http://twitter.com/olivers) the other day got me to thinking. He was asking about the possibility to host graphics for a web site in XAML format, and the best way to render it. Currently, there are 3 possible ways that I know of to render XAML in a web browser Loading the XAML file directly in an IFRAME will trigger Windows Presentation Foundation on the client (if available). The IFRAME can be positioned in the page so the it "blends" with the HTML page. That's only for Windows (IE and Firefox) and requires .NET 3.0 (or preferably 3.5/3.5 SP1) installed on the client. I wouldn't recommend that solution. Silverlight can load loose XAML files. However, Silverlight XAML is less powerful than WPF XAML. Not all controls and features are supported. Also, it requires a plug-in to be installed on the client. The plug-in is available for a number of platforms, but still. More lightweight than solution 1, but still not ideal to render static images. Rendering the XAML Read More...

The news took the community by surprise and the reactions are overwhelmingly positive: Microsoft is going to ship jQuery with the ASP.NET MVC framework (very soon) and with Visual Studio (in a near future). For more details, ScottGu and Scott Hanselman are talking about that in a very complete way. I think it's great news on many levels. First, because I hear that jQuery is a great framework. I must admit I never used it, because I didn't do much web development lately (but I will get back to it in a number of private projects soon) and also because I am usually wary of frameworks and prefer to develop my own JavaScript. Of course this is only viable because I used JavaScript mainly on small private projects for the past few years, and I wanted to have the learning effect of programming against it directly instead of having a higher level framework to "talk to". I think that now is the time for me to look more into it, however, and this is just what I will do for my site www.galasoft.ch Read More...

As soon as I had my info page online, I asked Twitter to accept TweetMyPage as a Twitter application, and to mark the messages posted with TweetMyPage with "from TweetMyPage". Note for developers: There is a form to fill on the Twitter API page. It's really fast, and one day later I got the answer that it was accepted. From now on, messages posted from TweetMyPage are marked as such: I got a couple of testers so far, and already got a few requests for additional features. I am now evaluating how I can modify the application to integrate these new features, and will update TweetMyPage as soon as I got time (in 2018) (just kidding). TweetMyPage is in beta for the moment, and if you want to try it, I'll be happy to send you an invite (just leave a comment down here or send me an email . If all goes well, I will make TweetMyPage public next week or so. Read More...

Dean Hachamovitch (IE General Manager) CSS2.1. Demo in Firefox, Safari, looks the same. Opens in IE7 and it doesn't look the same.IE8 supposed to be the answer to that. First time showing IE8 to the public Focus on CSS and understanding standards the same way than developers are. Legacy web. Legacy pages developed for IE look bad in Firefox and in Safari. IE8 has a "Emulate IE7" button for legacy pages. In the future, IE8 should behave just like Firefox and Safari, at the risk of breaking legacy pages. Improving performance for rendering web pages and JavaScript. "We're not done", more to come. Back button for AJAX. Back button shows back the previous AJAX request. #Mix08 Read More...

Interesting concept for localizing Silverlight applications using a "resource" JavaScript file. Presented by Brad Abrams. Amazing set of new controls for Silverlight 2, including a datagrid. Where's the WPF-based one, Microsoft? Multiline textbox in Silverlight 2.0 (but you're not supposed to talk about it :) ASP.NET MVC framework for URL mapping. I think that ScottGu blogged about that before, something I definitely want to look into (when I'll have time, ah ah ah) Tim Sneath on WPF and Silverlight: "WPF is the Ferrari and Silverlight is the Mini Cooper". Yeah maybe, but Ferrari is a cool name and a cool brand, while the WPF name really... we need a new name and a logo!!! Make WPF sexy please! Attendees of the Together@MIX preconference to get black Zunes. Some work was done on Bitmap Effects. Curious to know what work exactly!! Do they run in partial trust now? Read More...
