ResolveUrl and JavaScript Intellisense in Visual Studio

mustafaozcan — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:09:00 +0300

Visual Studio JavaScript intellisense feature is very cool. But if you are adding JavaScript files to Master Pages with ResolveUrl method, you can not use intellisense feature in design time. Also you can use intellisense feature with different way. There is a sample code below.

In Master Page :

First section is require for detect javascript file's url in runtime. Second section is require for intellisense support in design time. Second section can not display in rendered page. Of course you can use intellisense feature in which pages using this master page.

Updated - 03.11.2008 (Thanks to Visual Web Developer Team) The other way:

jQuery Microsoft and Nokia

mustafaozcan — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:26:00 +0300

Microsoft will be shipping jQuery with Visual Studio going forward. Microsoft will distribute the jQuery JavaScript library as-is, and Microsoft will not be forking or changing the source from the main jQuery branch. The files will continue to use and ship under the existing jQuery MIT license.Microsoft will also distribute intellisense-annotated versions that provide great Visual Studio intellisense and help-integration at design-time like my published jQuery intellisense file. I believe that Microsoft will grow jQuery intellisense futures and usability of jQuery included ASP.NET applications.

Microsoft use jQuery as one of the libraries used to implement higher-level controls in the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, as well as to implement new Ajax server-side helper methods for ASP.NET MVC. New features we add to ASP.NET AJAX (like the new client template support) will be designed to integrate nicely with jQuery as well. Microsoft also plan to contribute tests, bug fixes, and patches back to the jQuery open source project. These will all go through the standard jQuery patch review process.

Nokia is looking to use jQuery to develop applications for their WebKit-based Web Run-Time. The run-time is a stripped-down browser rendering engine that allows for easy, but powerful, application development. This means that jQuery will be distributed on all Nokia phones that include the web run-time. To start Nokia will be moving a number of their applications to work on the run-time (such as Maps) and building them using jQuery. jQuery will become part of their widget development platform, meaning that any developer will be able to use jQuery in the construction of widgets for Nokia phones.

Microsoft and Nokia aren’t looking to make any modifications to jQuery (both in the form of code or licensing) - they simply wish to promote its use as-is. They’ve recognized its position as the most popular JavaScript library and wish to see its growth and popularity continue to flourish.

Google Chrome (Google's Web Browser)

evrenefe — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:50:00 +0300

Today I had a mail from a blog titled "Google Chrome - Google's Web Browser". Mail has links some blogs and a comic book. I also add urls for you.

So what is "Google Chrome"? As I understand from blog and comic book it is WebKit open source web browser engine based, multi-threaded, V8 javascript virtual machine powered, Google style browser. WebKit used in many browser projects including MacOS X Safari, KDE Konquero and some Nokia S60 browsers. V8 Team are (I don't know guys very much, as some said) expert in virtual machines and they have idea whatever languageyou want to put a vm in. Google aims to make javascript engine faster, more powerful and more stable. Multi-threading is not new for application programming but Google guys think further and not only different tabs work different processes but also different web domains in same tab will work in different processes. Very hard to implement and manage.

The most important part of this project is Google Chrome will be open source. I think,for internet community, being open source is most dealing option. You have no boundaries except continuing as open source. In my opinion it worths.

As a Google addict I will try first beta of Google Chrome as soon as possible. Like Bilbo Baggins said before his 111th birthday party "this will be a night to remember!"

How to extend the Windows Server 2008 evaluation period

mustafaozcan — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 17:23:00 +0300

How to manually extend the evaluation period
When the initial 60-day evaluation period nears its end, you can run the Slmgr.vbs script to reset the evaluation period. To do this, follow these steps:
1.Click Start, and then click Command Prompt.
2.Type slmgr.vbs -dli, and then press ENTER to check the current status of your evaluation period.
3.To reset the evaluation period, type slmgr.vbs –rearm, and then press ENTER.
4.Restart the computer.
This resets the evaluation period to 60 days.

How to automate the extension of the evaluation period
You may want to set up a process that automatically resets the evaluation period every 60 days. One way to automate this process is by using the Task Scheduler. You can configure the Task Scheduler to run the Slmgr.vbs script and to restart the server at a particular time. To do this, follow these steps:
1.Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Task Scheduler.
2.Copy the following sample task to the server, and then save it as an .xml file. For example, you can save the file as Extend.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

TortoiseSVN 1.5 Released

mustafaozcan — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:33:00 +0300

What's New in TortoiseSVN 1.5

Merge Tracking
Sparse checkouts
Cyrus SASL support for svnserve
Changelist support
Log message caching
Repository browser
Revision graph
Client side hook scripts
TortoiseMerge

WARNING: if a Subversion 1.5 client encounters a pre-1.5 working copy, it will automatically upgrade the working copy format as soon as it touches it, making it unreadable by older Subversion clients. If you are using several versions of Subversion on your machine, you need to be careful about which version you use in which working copy, to avoid accidentally upgrading the working copy format. This "auto upgrade" feature, however, does not occur with the new repository format.
