You would already know this, but in Silverlight when in full-screen mode keyboard input is by design constrained to a limited set of keys – this often takes an end-user by surprise and leaves them with a perception than it’s an application problem. To overcome this Silverlight limitation I’ve created a Virtual Input Keyboard and accompanying behaviours, that allows you to attach an on-screen keyboard to any receptive UI control.

Apache Lucene is Open Source API that allows a Java developer (.Net libraries available) to write indexing and full-text search capable applications. I have been writing applications based on Lucene for the last 3 years and some of the applications have been deployed at large corporations. I know there are other libraries available to developers who wish to write indexing engine but this blog will solely focus on Apache Lucene

The topic of this post is how we go from that interface, to some kind of mechanism that can actually process the incoming requests and send the appropriate responses back to the client. Note that i make a difference between processing requests and handling them. Processing the requests is done by the Request Processor, and each request will be handled by its very own Request Handler. The Request Processor accepts all incoming requests, delegates the actual handling of each request to the correct Request Handler and will then send back all of the responses to the client.

Learn about F# support with Silverlight in Visual Studio 2010. F# Async workflows are used to show a powerful example of declarative multithreading that can be used as a substitute to PLINQ in Silverlight.

Bandwidth performance is one of the critical requirements for every website. In today’s time major cost of the website is not hard disk space but its bandwidth. So transferring maximum amount of data over the available bandwidth becomes very critical. In this article we will see how we can use IIS compression to increase bandwidth performance.

Remote Desktop Services is one of Microsoft Windows components to access a remote computer through network. Only the user interface of the application is presented at the client. Any input is redirected over to the remote computer over the network.

The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. It is a true compiler for JavaScript. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript. It parses your JavaScript, analyzes it, removes dead code and rewrites and minimizes what's left.

Sometimes we should use the > tag to design the frame page. However, the data exchange between each page will become very difficult to handle; Or once the structure of frame changed to normal page, a lot of work to be carried out.

Even though I’m a much bigger fan of distributed apps than using UI bound data binding, it’s still important for me to know how these various tools work – especially since I need to write about them in my updated

One of the more obscure features introduced in Silverlight 3 is the {RelativeSource} markup extension. It's poorer than its counterpart in WPF because the Silverlight version supports only two modes: Self and TemplatedParent. There are precious few examples out there demonstrating why you'd ever need {RelativeSource} in Silverlight.

Until recently, just about every introduction to Silverlight started out by talking about Xaml; the markup language of Silverlight, WPF and Workflow. I believe it is time to stop.

In our series about ASP.NET authentication, so far we’ve covered all the rather normal cases where you’d want to have the ability to log into different domains attached to the same application? There are a few additional hurdles you’ll need to overcome to make this work correctly.

Magellan was designed to work without an Inversion of Control or Dependency Injection container, to keep it simple and accessible. However, as applications become more complicated, modern WPF applications can benefit immensely from IOC containers. Magellan's extensibility points make using a container easy. Magellan resolves and instantiates two main types of objects - controllers and views. The out of the box implementation uses conventions, but they can be overridden.

A simple good looking open source Tic-Tac-Toe game developed in Silverlight 3.

This guide will walk you through getting started with Magellan. You will need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack 1.

Don has just posted a great blog entry describing the details of the equality and comparison constraints in the latest release of F#. I would like to take a moment to describe the higher-level view to motivate the feature.

Just days after the Professional Developer Conference (PDC09) we are organizing an exclusive, and by invitation only, Software Architecture Workshop (SAW) for our managed partners and independent experts. The event will be an intense and interactive one day event that is specifically targeted to address problems and opportunities for ISVs.

Teamprise allows developers using the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) running on operating systems including Unix, Linux and Mac OS X to build applications with Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. (Team Foundation Server is Microsoft’s team-collaboration tool for developers.)

In the recent release, there has been few enhancements in the Web Asset Management. One of the new thing that we introduced which was actually requested by the community is Shared Web Asset. In this post, I will show you, how to use it in your ASP.NET MVC...

At first glance url rewriting can be a daunting task, but today we will see that it doesn't have to be. Every developer desires clean urls for their apps but because its not built into the language in a straight forward way its usually left on the "nice to haves" list. I am going to take you on a tour of the UrlRewriter.net library from the theory to implementing it in your website.
