So, am not going to tech-ed this year.
I didn't get much benefit from going last year, but I did meet a lot of nice folks.
I am working on my first official Silverlight project, and it's going ok.
I having a few issues which I may resolve with WCF services.
I am still green around the edges with this technology, but I am getting the hang of it slowly.
Learning a lot about IQueryable and how to handle databases.
Depending on what I am looking todo, I may use some messaging services within the app.
It has been a hard study the last month. Learning SL, JQuery, More CSS and website work, code-first.
Node.js, SingalR
There seems to be a lot to do to keep up with the technology.
Hope to post more often, but am hammering on something new, most of the time.
I have done extensive research in using this for navigation.
It’s not easy, but I think I am on the verge of successful auto-navigating using this feature.
Cookies is my downfall, I am not yet 100% sure if what I am making is going to work, but that’s the life of a programmer.
I have been searching for a way to use webbrowser control in conjunction with the webclient class to auto authenticate to a website and then to auto-download a file.
I thought I could use webclient.DownloadFile however the website doesn’t get my credentials for which cookies are set when I auto login to the site using the webbrowser control and navigate to the place to download the file.
The webbrowser control doesn’t have a filedownload function as the webclient control does so I thought I could just pass cookies and session from one object to the other, but no that doesn’t seem feasible.
I thought also that I could use the webclient control to navigate the site, but there are not clear methods to post authentication and then to browse through the chain of crazy-ness to get to the place to download the file I need.
I have done hours of research on this and short of writing my own webbrowser control I think I need to give up on this one for a while, or until a more feasible solution is found.
Or maybe I need to use linux and find solutions with open-source.
Microsoft has explanations generally on how to use these controls, but not in conjunction with each other.
here at Tech-ed learning sql server stuff.
I am thinking I would like to work with ucma because providing ability to manage and utilize communcation services is fun.
