16351 of 19643 | What`s New in WSE 3.0 MSDN Article - I have written an article on What is New for WSE 3.0 which has now been posted on the Web Services Developer Center. This is written against the June CTP release so functionality will change before final RTM at the end of the year. Over the next few months I will post short snippets of interest on aspects of WSE 3.0 and as always it would be good to hear your opinions. The next CTP is scheduled for mid July, with a Beta 1 release in August....

16352 of 19643 | Are you ready for Inescapable Data - Chris Stakutis, IBM`s CTO for emerging storage software, says all businesses are confronting three major tech trends: the phenomenal growth of data; the proliferation of wireless connectivity; and the rise of XML, or self-describing data. He`s coined a term for the result. Stakutis calls it "inescapable data." He even wrote a book about it, Inescapable [...]...

Adds to sn.exe - Ever been using RSA keys in an app and SN.exe leaves you wanting  I created this c# to address some of the things I always wanted in sn, but was to afraid ot ask for (well not really.)  This has things like XML output and input options for RSA key pairs and saving to Containers and Files as normal.  It also uses my CmdParser dll (code included) to parse the ~complex command line parameter options.  I posted the code at Channel9 here:  http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspxPostID=80076...

16358 of 19643 | Javolution 3.3.8 evaluated - New version of Javolution has been evaluated. Major improvements were made to unmarshallings after the first invocation. However, this release breaks compatibility with the old XML format. The marshalling time has improved marginally by 2-5%. The unmarshalling time has improved by 4-10%. The marshalling memory has improved on first run by 12-20% (less for large data sets). The unmarshalling memory has changed for the first time use, ranging from decrease by 11% for large data sets to increase by 18% for small data sets. The unmarshalling memory for consecutive runs has improved by 60-73% (less for large data sets)....

Still others gave it a shot but were not completely successful. So I decided to post the solution to the challenge.

16364 of 19643 | A brief essay about advocacy of XML formats - Thankfully there hasn`t been much format-bashing going on in the last year or so, but it looks like it might be starting again, so let`s do something before it becomes a problem. I suggest that the entire XML development community adopt the Canons of Conduct of the Linux Advocacy mini-HOWTO. Let`s consider RSS to be part of Linux as far as advocacy is concerned. They got it right. You can`t win by trashing the other guy. You can have a good format without the other guy being incompetent. I`ve been reading a certain mail list, and observing that a certain person is now posting again, after a long hiatus that allowed us to find this relatively peaceful status. Let`s make it clear that we l......

16365 of 19643 | AJAX at AJUG - This past Tuesday, Roundbox co-worker Les suggested we all take a field trip to the Atlanta Java Users Group (AJUG) meeting since the meeting topic was AJAX. Now, if you don`t know what AJAX is, well, then you should have attended the meeting. Seriously, though, AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. Holy Crap; read the Wikipedia entry, for Christ`s sake. [link] [link] [link] Anyway, they guys at ClearNova put on quite an interesting show of how easily some interactivity can be assembled with AJAX. Of course, ClearNova has an IDE for AJAX (gasp, a presentation with an agenda!), but...

16366 of 19643 | Common Security Pitfalls for Web Part Developers - I`ve wanted to write this post for a long time, the trigger to actually write it was my interview by Chris Kunicki for his Office Zealot podcast last week. During this podcast (which was really fun to do, thanks for having me Chris!) we discussed briefly some security problems web part developers could face. Podcasts are great but they are not suited to communicate code, so here`s the accompanying post! When you`re developing web parts, security could be one of the biggest problems to deal with. First of all you may face some problems to get your web part deployed and secondly you may have some Code Access Security problems. Let`s take a look at both of them! When you develop web ......

16368 of 19643 | Is Microsoft of two minds on RSS - Ballmer says one thing... the troops say another Ballmer, Ballmer, Ballmer, just when I was beginning to think that Microsoft possibly saw the benefit in working with the rest of the world, he sprays a thick coat of FUD on RSS. Too simple Feh. Scoble`s attempt at damage control, and it`s well-done and brave of him to say that. I am under a non-disclosure with Microsoft, and that of course prevents me from saying any more. If they want to release me from the NDA, I could tell a more interesting story. One thing I can say for sure is that there are at least some XML people at Microsoft who will be out of work if RSS continues to be the juggernaut that it is. And they`re not just at Microsof......

16370 of 19643 | The Anatomy of a Google AdSense Scam (reloaded) - Yes another tactics used by scammers to fool Google. I wonder why Google don`t react or know about this ... The approach is very simple - Copy/Paste Google generated code in your pages, and then you`ll have successful "hits" that might bring you lots of money. I haven`t tested it yet, but I`ll try to describe how "I think" they are doing... Let`s see how this works. Normally, to activate Google Adsense, you have to include a JavaScript code section in your page. As you can see, this code just do a call to the Google web services, which will...

16373 of 19643 | Word XML and using XPath contains - I can`t remember if I blogged about this, and if I did, I just don`t remember (since my accident in September, my memory has been much less reliable- bummer). Anyway, I wanted to do an XPath search for nodes that contain string1 or string2 or string3. All examples I have found for the contains() function show only one term. That`s fine, but I may want to transform my raw XML to WordML under broader conditions. Well, I messed around for a while and found that it is awfully simple (Occam`s razor, blah): you add an `or` statement with the additional search term- like this: /contacts/contact[contains(name,`Leverling`) or contains(name, `Fuller`) or contains(name, `Dodsworth`)]/photo I received ......

16377 of 19643 | Yahoo, Microsoft and Google in RSS - In my mind, the three top Internet application companies are Yahoo, Google and Microsoft, in no special order. Of the three Yahoo and Microsoft are aggressively moving forward in deploying RSS, Yahoo more than all three, and Google is doing absolutely nothing, at least nothing that`s visible. Yahoo Today, ResearchBuzz discovered that Yahoo`s shopping site has been completely RSS-ized. This is very cool, and very smart. A few years from now they will likely have a disproportionate share of commercial information flow through RSS because they moved so early, so strongly, and so compatibly. Their feeds are plain and obviously useful. There`s no doubt that they will work with every reader and......

16378 of 19643 | Adding web parts programmatically in SharePoint - When Im delivering a SharePoint developer course I usually challenge my students to think of something that they would like to do in SharePoint with the object model. So far I always have been able to write the code, and today I got another interesting challenge: how can you add a web part to a web part page in code.   The code to accomplish this is quite easy, basically there are two scenarios: you add a web part that is displaying data for a list, or you add any other web part (e.g. a custom web part or a 3rd party web part like the SmartPart). The code for the first scenario is:using Microsoft.SharePoint; using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages; // Get a reference to a web an......

16387 of 19643 | Google implements XPath and XSLT in Javascript What`s the... - Just look here. AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications. Because XSL-T uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSL-T. That`s weird. Wait, all modern browsers (ok, except Opera) support XSLT natvely, don`t they Well, here is how they explain the goals: Both XPath and XSL-T are built into some of the modern browsers, however not in all. This library runs on many browsers, including those that don`t support XSLT adaequately or at all, which is why the library was written in the first place. (See BROWSER COMPATIBILITY, below.)
