Re: Silverlight Deep linking and redirections

[Perry Stathopoulos]

I came across the same problem with my site. The inpage anchor hash (#) is 
client side thing, that only browser handles.

Javascript is the only solution. This is the script I use:
var s = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + '/#' + 
window.location.pathname;
window.location.href  = s;

As to why you need this, is because of SEO. Google/Bing will not index urls 
with the hash. So I have my pages as http://domain.com/level1/level2 which are 
indexed in Google/Bing. This is an actual page, but if the user has Silverlight 
I redirect them with javascript to http://domain.com/#/level1/level2 . So my 
MVC urls match my Silverlight urls.

Hope this helps,
Perry

Simon,
You are correct, the hash portion of the request is not sent to the server at 
all, no server side solution is going to solve this for you.
The solution would be a small peice of javascript hosted on the domain you 
don't want people to use redirecting to the new domain. Let me know if you'd 
like me to find this script, I've used it before on some ajax sites.

I am wondering why you need this functionality, the only scenario I can think 
of is that you have changed a domain name and need to redirect users with saved 
bookmarks to the new domain. Probably why others here havn't come across this 
before?

I'm havn't tested the anchor Simon, pretty easy to test for you tonight if you 
like. Back to your solution to the problem, are you getting the anchor in your 
Request.Url.ToString()?
 
Good post here from Rick explaining ASP.NET paths:
http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/132081.aspx
 
1st check the anchor is being set in that location header, fiddler is an 
awesome tool to check this, 2nd I guess check that this technique (301 
redirect) supports anchors in all browsers.

Thanks John,



Do you know if this method will preserve the anchor (eg. #screen) or only the 
path/parameters?



My current method preserves the path/parameters, but not the anchor.

Do you have the option to do this in IIS instead? IIS6/7 both have a simple 
mechnism to do the redirect and preserve the path/parameters. Do a quick search 
if this is an option, we use for the typical www redirections.

Hi all,



Currently trying to setup some redirections on a Silverlight site that uses 
deep linking.  I’m attempting to do this via a 301 redirect in the via the 
Global.asax.



The issue is that the deep linking (anchors) gets lost with the redirection.



Eg.  Say we are attempting to redirect http://www.abc.com.au to 
http://www.abc.com.  Attempting to navigate to http://www.abc.com.au/#screen is 
redirecting to the default page of http://www.abc.com rather than 
http://www.abc.com/#screen . 



I can’t see that the deep link (anchor) part is available from Global.asax, 
meaning I can’t use it in the redirect.  My redirection code in global.asax 
looks like this:-



protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if 
(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("www.abc.com.au"))

{

HttpContext.Current.Response.Status =

"301 Moved Permanently";

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Location",

Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Replace(

"www.abc.com.au",

"www.abc.com"));

}

}



Has anyone had experience with this or can point me in the right direction?



Cheers

Simon Hammer.

Re: Interesting article re: WPF/Silverlight/HTML5 on riagenic

[Perry Stathopoulos]

They is Microsoft. 
I don’t work for MS, so I don’t not its internals, however I’ve worked for 
several large corporations and I’m all too familiar with 
inter-department/division power struggles. This is nothing new. 

Realistically I’m sure each division is given its budget, timelines and 
deliverables. That is decided at higher level, which each division must try to 
influence the decision maker to get what he/she wants. Again nothing new here.

As outsiders, we can try to influence the decisions that MS takes. Priorities 
change in corporations all the time in response to market conditions and 
customer demands, again nothing new. However, I keep thinking about this quote: 
"If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster 
horse." -Henry Ford

Don’t get me wrong I love SL especially compared to Flash. However HTML does 
have many advantages. I’m in upper management for a web based company, with 
tens of millions of visitors per day. So, I have a very good idea of what is 
going on in the web world including mobile web and what is required to make 
things work at the speed of Internet. 

In the Intranet world, things are very different there. MS pretty much owns 
that, but on the Internet, far from it. IMO that distinction is often not 
talked about. There are many things that I would do on a company’s intranet, 
that should simply never be done on a public Internet (think latency and 
network speed you pour Aussies ;-p)

While the official HTML5 spec is a long way to being ratified, it’s already 
here. With IE9, all major browsers will support many of the major HTML5 
elements. So yes Microsoft is investing in HTML5 because it wants to be taken 
as a serious Internet player.

will note that being held fiscally accountable is very important.

200+ devs are on sl today how many do u think work on IE? Or the variety of

It's great to say "do both" but sit down crunch the numbers and factor in

SL = video zealots). Multitouch, multi screen, multi bloody everything. Rapid 
development (through Des/Dev workflows) + awesome tooling. 

Consumers like apps too remember. They would much rather read their EPG in an 
app than have a link to a web page on their desktop. 

And what about other ideas that don't really exist yet. To say that WPF is dead 
and/or dying - well I say to you - there is more to the world of UX and 
consumerism than just the browser/current thinking. I think that WPF is _still_ 
ahead of its time. Tech/devices are moving way too fast for HTML5 spec to 
keep up with (what about this cheap new device? 
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/microsoft-principal-researcher-bill-buxton-surface-will-be-in-h/)...

I think the HTML5 vs the world debate is forgetting about the consumer 
app/hi-tech/new shiny device market - it will/(*is*) be hooge! And we need 
to keep the consumers happy (which means being nimble!).

HTML5 is great, bringing what we demand to spec. Yaay for Vimeo working on my 
iPhone! Plugins are great bringing us the latest tech quickly. And... as new 
screens are added (Surface, phones etc)... then you can be sure i'll be betting 
the farm on ripping out apps quickly on tech like WPF... 

Cheap Surfaces, every shop... WPF = killer.

My 2 cents :)

There is one area that I am missing information on, that is who is using

Question for the group: 
• Who is using Silverlight in Australia? / Overseas?
• What for?
• Is there public information available about the project?

My interest is more focused on real business applications rather than just cute

Re: VHDs in Windows 7 (was RE: Silverlight 4)

[Perry Stathopoulos]

Hmmm you can look at it another way: use one word instead of a phrase. Using 
dogfood as one word to describe "the act of using software that you build" (my 
own definition). So in essence this made up word is used in place of a phrase.

What I find interesting is you did the same thing with verbising. You made up a 
word (so says the red squiggly line), and gave it a definition, so that you 
could re-use it again later in another sentence. You could have of course just 
used your definition both times. 

Aren't you guilty of a similar offense? ;-p

Re: Happy Silverlight / Expression 3 Day all :)

Congrats for the release!

My only real complaint at this point, is that I would have liked to have a 
better visibility for the release schedule. I have to admit I was not expecting 
the July 10th release. Sure there were hints, but I needed a summer release so 
I didn't focus at all on SL3. I even asked the question in this mailing list, 
when the rumours first appeared.

For example I like when Tim Hueur posted the roadmap for .NET RIA Services:
http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/06/09/ria-services-roadmap-updated.aspx

Talk to the community if dates change I think we are quite open and 
understanding as we go through the same stuff.

[Perry Stathopoulos]

The only thing I heard, is that it will be released before the end of year 2009.

yeah, not shipping SketchFlow after last night's demo was a bummer, it was 
just like Adobe when they showed FC for the first time...

but of well I guess at least maybe someone could come up with a theme for 
the wireframe like controls... then maybe we could have a reason to do 
interactive prototypes with code ;-)

  I don't know though if I you can have Blend 3 running side by side with 
Blend 2... from the early versions that I tried of Blend 3 no... but who knows 
maybe things have changed a bit since.

Shame that, guess I'll have to set it up on another machine. Didn't we 
go through this pain when they introduced .net 2.0. Wasn't sorted out until you 
could target a framework. *sigh*

  I installed and there are only 2 options to projects SL3 or WPF.

to Silverlight 3.0. 


From what I've read you can't have both with regards to the SDK and 
tools for VS but not sure on Blend.


thx,

RE: Layout controls

[Perry Stathopoulos]

Hi Stephen,

 

You should take a look at the Silverlight Toolkit. They offer a WrapPanel
that should do what you want.

Silverlight/XAML?

 

When did they introduce div tags in Xaml? :)

 

I actually like the Grid in silverlight. Your talking about asp.net right?
(God I hope so)

You should try to use UL/LI's with a div in the LI and have the LI as
display:inline;

You can use a repeater to achieve this quite nicely.

Avoid the grid like the plague.

Subject: Layout controls

 

Hey all, 

 

I want to dynamically add some controls (might be images or buttons, not
sure yet) to a layout panel so that it dynamically wraps them as you resize
the browser window. I seem to recall that the Stackpanel does this
automagically but then realised it doesn't. Perhaps I'm thinking back to
when I was doing WPF stuff. 

 

Is there a control for this or will I need to use a grid and some math to
pidgeonhole the images into the next available grid cell?

 

cheers,

Stephen
