One of my lucky days

I was informed yesterday that I have won an $180 Microsoft Certification voucher for one of the recent contests that I took part in.

It appears more like a regular yearly quota,I won a certification voucher last year too.

Ofcourse it was absolutely pleasing to hear that.

It's always good to win :)

AJAX | IIS 7.0 |

2009-04-09T16:20:2510:00:00

One of the key configurations to get AJAX working on IIS 7.0 [Windows Server 2008 | Vista]

This should be added within the web.config of the SharePoint site.

The <system.webserver> Element

The <system.webserver> element contains configuration settings used by Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0.

The following example shows the <system.webserver> element for ASP.NET AJAX. Add this section to the existing Web.config file as a child of the <configuration> element.

<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules>
    <add name="ScriptModule"
      preCondition="integratedMode"
      type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
</modules>
<handlers>
    <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0"/>
    <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx"
      preCondition="integratedMode"
      type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*"
      path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode"
      type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory,
      System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral,
      PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode"
      verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd"
      type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler,
      System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral,
      PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>

Apple In Ear HeadPhones with Remote

2009-01-27T21:28:5411:00:00

I have never been satisfied with any of the headphones that I have bought so far,Not completely satisfied with the Apple In ear Headphones either :-)

Anyways,here is the story..

I got these headphones delivered home during the Christmas break.

Read a few reviews: Read it only after I bought it :-( Anyways,most of the review I read had positive feedback.

I wasn't happy with the Bass,Tried out all the "ear tips". The smaller tips proved to be better than the rest.

Called up Apple Support [only after 15 days I guess]

They said I definitely can't return the product as it is past it's return period,I was a bit frustrated with this.

In return they offered to give me a $20 store coupon that I could redeem with my next purchase in the store.

Pros:

Awesome sound.

Great clarity for recording

Cons:

Not enough bass!! ..Not that I expect the headphones to blow my ears,but I expect decent amount of bass

Tried out all the modes in the EQ too.

Anyways,that's me

SharePoint Spellcheck

2009-01-27T21:19:3711:00:00

SharePoint offers the "Spell Check" feature in its "Rich Text Fields"

In our custom SharePoint application,we have utilised the "SharePoint Spell Check Web service".

There has been a few bugs that has been identified with the SharePoint Spell Check,The Microsoft's QFE Team was involved in fixing the same and delivering back the "private hot fixes".

It was observed that the "dictionary language" defaults to "English US" although the "locale = English Australia".

This issue is being currently investigated by the Microsoft Support Engineers and also by myself.

There is a likelihood that,this could be because of the "language" selection during the install of SharePoint or may be it's a bug..

Will keep you guys posted soon.
