After my previous post on getting AzureReader2 up and running with ImageResizer – I ran into a problem – I had a page with a foreach on it, where I had a link to each fullsize image. It was all working fine, except for a couple which just wouldn’t work. <a href="/cloud/blah-1/example... src="/cloud/blah-1/example.... /></a> <a href="/cloud/blah-2/hello%2... src="/cloud/blah-2/Hello%20... ......
Just getting this off the bat, I presume this will also work for Blend 5, but I can’t confirm it… Anyhews, I imagine you’re here because you want to know how to create an addin for Blend, so let’s jump right in there! First, and foremost, we’re going to need to ensure our development environment has the right setup, so the checklist: Visual Studio 2012 Blend for Visual Studio 2012 OK, let’s create a new project (class library, .NET 4.5): Hello.Extension The ‘.Extension’ bit is very very important. ......
Now, I know that this has been written about, but both of the main places (http://www.richard-banks.o... and http://blog.neo4j.org/2011/... utilise VS2010, and well, I’m on VS2012 and Windows 8. Not that I think Win 8 had anything to do with it really, anyhews! I’m going to begin from the beginning, this is my first foray into running something on Azure, so it’s been a bit of a learning curve. But luckily the Neo4J guys have ......
So, last night I realised that I’d made some bad decisions with the database, structure and naming, so… I’ve now refactored it all, and I’m feeling… hmmm… meh about it. I suspect I will redo it all later, but for now it will do…. I’ve also come to the conclusion that I was maybe trying too much for the initial release, so as a consequence I have removed one part of the project… (which, by-the-by, I intend to have published in a month or so – and yes Andy, that is one month longer than I mentioned ......
So, I want potential clients to have to enter the least amount of info possible to get an account, to that end, I really don’t see the benefit of a username and email address, I’d rather just use the email address. Pretty easy, edit the Register.cshtml to remove all traces of a ‘username’ field… Edit the controller so that it now reads: model.UserName = model.Email; if (ModelState.IsValid) { /*...*/ } F5 and … no Hmmm, turns out the ModelState isn’t valid, and that’s down to the fact that I’ve left ......
I have to do some mocking of an ITable to be able to test some of my code, as you may imagine this is the point where we’re crossing the data boundary… Now, ITable is a total bugger to mock, I’ve tried on (at least) 3 separate occasions to get it mocked, and have only now, finally achieved an 80% solution. (Nothing is ever 100%) I’m not using any mock framework, they just take too long to setup (in this case) and instead have a concrete class that implements ITable and uses an IList as it’s base. ......
I’ve been spending some time working on prototyping some things I want to get working for a game I’m developing, and one thing I wanted was to get a couple of fly’s flying (buzzing?) around a lightbulb. Ideally I wanted to draw a path and say – Fly – use this path and follow it until the end of time! Turns out in WPF I could do this, but not so in Silverlight. Everything I saw explaining how to do it, involved working out complex (to me) equations to get the motion correct, or using a set of key ......
Firstly (thanks Matt) – it should really be an ICollection extension – and so now it is, but also I’ve just ported it to a .NET 4.0 project, and can now make use of optional parameters, and so 3 methods now become 1! /// <summary>Adds a range of items to an <see cref="ICollection{T}"/>.... /// <typeparam name="T">The type held in the <see cref="ICollection{T}"/>.... /// <param name="collection">The <see cref="ICollection{T}"/> instance ......
I’ve had to create a couple of Extensions for the ObservableCollection, (well – I didn’t have to), erm, and so here they are! All are ‘AddRange’ just with different args for different usages.. namespace Extensions { using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Collections.ObjectMo... using System.Linq; /// <summary>Extension methods for the <see cref="ObservableCollection{... class.</summary> public static class ObservableCollectionExtensions { /// <summary>Adds ......
The old skool way of passing InitParams in aspx is well documented, adding a: <param name="initParams" value="<%=InitParams%>" /> which is accessing the public ‘InitParams’ member in the code-behind file, which is inevitably set up via the ‘Page_Init’ handler. All well and good, but not practical in MVC, so… how to do this? (NB. This is just how I’ve done it, it’s not the only solution) There are a few things to change: 1. The Model I’ve created a SilverlightHostModel, it only has one ......
