Re: Silverlight 4 Unit Testing
Hi Peter, Thanks for the info :) When you say the Telerik stuff is a bit tricky to set up on a build server, do you mean tricky as in, a bit tricky but not to bad. Or tricky as in a royal pain in the backside to get it to work?

Completed events not firing in Firefox for long running WCF call, when using the Client HTTP Stack
Hi People, I've got this problem with completed events not firing for WCF long running calls (up to 1.5 minutes to return), it works ok in IE 8 but doesn't work in Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Looking in Fiddler the results clearly get returned, and as I said, it works ok in IE, so that side of things are obviously working. Using a sample project (check it out herehttp://beta.sabukat.com/codesamples/SL4LongRunningWCFTest.zip), I've managed to narrow it down pretty well, it seems it's due to the fact that I'm using the Client HTTP Stack rather than the browser stack for networking. Has anyone had much experience with the client http stack or come across this type of behavior before? Similar things were happening in IE to start with, but increasing the timeout on the client side for the WCF service, solved that. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I've done a whole heap of searching around the web, without any luck :( Cheers, Ola ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
Re: Guidance for Moonlight compatibility
You might be able to use Eclipse 4 SL http://www.eclipse4sl.org/ From their site: *Version 1.0: October 28th , 2009* Features included in version 1.0 are: - Silverlight 2.0 support *Roadmap towards version 2: general availability planned for spring 2010* We plan to release intermediate beta or Community Technology Preview (CTP) showing progress and seeking feedback on the following features: - Silverlight 3.0 support So it looks like you might be able to use that for SL 2 development On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 8:57 AM, Miguel Madero m...@miguelmadero.com wrote: Also consider targetting SL2 :s In the moonlight site http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/ they mention you can use the tools available (VS?) but they don't get into specifics.

Re: Simple Silverlight File Upload with Clientside Resizing and Atomic Upload (via a single zip file)
Cool I'm looking forward to checking it out :) I've been meaning to do something very similar for ages but never had the time. Maybe now I can get to that other little project (which was dependent on getting this functionality done). Thanks a bunch Martin for building and sharing! On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 6:51 AM, Martin Murphy martin.mur...@whiteboard-it.com wrote: I started a project. http://github.com/soitgoes/Silverlight-Multiple-Jpeg-Uploader I've used the other Silverlight uploader but one problem I aim to solve with this is if the resize is done on the client side then it's really important to get the thumbnail as well as the main image up to the server. So in order to make it atomic I'm zipping them into a single file before the upload. This also should make for a much better experience on the progress bar since it's a single file with a known size. I have the unit test done for resizing and zipping done. If anyone is interested in assisting on this project or has any other ideas please let me know. Primarily I could use some assistance with the XAML design Thanks again. -- Martin Murphy Whiteboard-it (205) 910-0720 ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
Re: websitespark
Hi Jorke, As I mentioned to you earlier, I think this is a great idea and initiative. However, and it will be interesting to hear what other people on this list have to say on this, I'm really surprised at the licencing of Expression Studio. You get 3 Visual Studio licences, 8 server licences and a heap of other goodies but only 1 Expression Studio license (not counting Expression Web), also that single license is locked down to the Primary contact of the company (http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/Support.aspx#que8). The issue with this is that, If you want to do Silverlight development (as most of us on this list), you pretty much need both VS and Blend to be efficient. I guess you could say that there's not that many Silverlight developers around, so one license should be enough, which I guess is fair enough. But if Microsoft wants to increase adoption of Silverlight, shouldn't you make the tools easily available? Yes true you can do Silverlight development on just Visual Studio, but as soon as you want to do any animations or state transitions, you need Blend. There's also the whole, locking it down to who in the company gets it, I assume that in most cases the Primary contact will be the owner of the company and how often will that person be the Silvelight dev? Sorry for the rant, and please don't take this the wrong way, as I said, I think it's a great initiative! And a lot of small web dev shops (including the one I work for) will benefit greatly from it. I just think the licencing of the Expression should be different ;) Cheers, Ola On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 9:03 AM, Jorke Odolphi jor...@microsoft.com wrote: As per * http://blogs.technet.com/jorke/archive/2009/09/24/announcing-websitespark-in-australia.aspx *http://blogs.technet.com/jorke/archive/2009/09/24/announcing-websitespark-in-australia.aspx I would love to hear your comments.

The Australian launch of *WebSiteSpark*http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitesparkwill be on the *8th of October* at *Web Directions South*http://south09.webdirections.org/– Hope to see you there! So very simply, here are the Gets and Gives: *What to we give you?* Software licenses that you can use for *three years* *AT NO COST*. Once enrolled, you can download and immediately use the following software from Microsoft: •3 licenses of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition •1 license of Expression Studio 3 (which includes Expression Blend, Sketchflow, and Web) •2 licenses of Expression Web 3 •4 processor licenses of Windows Web Server 2008 R2 •4 processor licenses of SQL Server 2008 Web Edition •DotNetPanel control panel (enabling easy remote/hosted management of your servers) The Windows Server and SQL Server licenses can be used for both development and production deployment. You can either self-host the servers on your own, or use the licenses with a hoster. *WebsiteSpark*http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitesparkmakes it easy to find hosters who are also enrolled in the program, and who can use your licenses to provide you with either dedicated or virtual dedicated servers to host your sites on. In addition to software, *WebsiteSpark*http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitesparkprovides partner opportunities to grow and build your business through referrals and product support training. *Who can get WebSiteSpark?* This is really simple: *1.Your company builds web sites and web application on behalf of others. **2.Your company currently has less than 10 employees. * If you meet these requirements *you can sign up today*. As part of the enrollment process you can pick a network referral partner such as a hoster or enter a code that you have received at an event or from a Microsoftie. Once you have that code you can enrol and start downloading the software – If you’re in Australia you can send an email to me: *jor...@microsoft.com*jor...@microsoft.comand i’ll hook you up – otherwise *websp...@microsoft.com* websp...@microsoft.com . *After 3 years?* You have no obligation to continue using the software just a *$100 fee*for the use of the program. By this time we hope you would have made a decision on whether you’re happy to continue to work with Microsoft and be part of the *Microsoft Partner
Re: OzSilverlightFeed
Hi Miguel, Great initiative :) In regards to the criterias etc. I guess it should be someone, who either live/work in Australia or have very close connections to Australia, yes Scott, being Australian but living abroad I reckon would qualify you ;) Secondly as it's a Silverlight feed, the majority of the content on the blog should obviously be Silverlight related. People could email you with suggestions regarding new additions and possibly removing old ones (reason for removing could be for example if the person has shifted focus away from Silverlight). So basically, keep up what you're already doing :) I'd of course also would like to add my blog http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WebDevelopmentAdventures as a suggestion for the feed :) the idea is to write about wed development in general but so far it's pretty much just been Silverlight (and the odd personal rant).
