Some new videos just got posted to the Silverlight community site. Topics included: IsolatedStorage usage HTML DOM Integration Dynamic Assembly/XAP loading Working with Syndicated Data As always, feedback and ideas are welcome. Ben’s been leaving some great comments here on suggested topics and I’d love to see more. I’ll be starting a new ‘series’ soon…more to come on that in a week’s time. As a reminder, these videos are meant...
So you want to read an RSS/Atom feed on the interwebs and saw the SyndicationFeed class you could use in Silverlight to give a nice RIA display of the syndicated data. Great, no problem right, just wire up an WebClient, point it to the RSS feed on something like http://silverlight.net or something and boom, done. Wait, what’s this 404 Not Found error? In most cases this is going to be a result of a cross-domain issue. If you haven’t started working with services yet, Silverlight requires a cross-domain policy file to be in place to access remote data not on...
recently i came across a feed entitled '.aspx considered harmful' and natural i paused. for those who don't know .aspx is a known file extension for web pages generally using asp.net technology. i think the title was a little misleading but it did the job -- got me to read it :-)
john had made a suggestion in conversation that a blog engine (must have been the topic of conversation) shouldn't produce urls that end in .aspx. basically, in a nutshell john is pointing out that technology changes and while you might be .aspx one day you might be .php the...
feedreader, my sharepoint web part originally built for sharepoint 2003, has been consumed by quite a few people (which i think is cool -- it is a rare moment when a lowly d00d like me can fill a gap). while sharepoint 2007 has better built-in support for syndicated feeds (actually 2003 did already with the xml web part), i still think feedreader has some advantages that can be leveraged.
a while back i put feedreader on codeplex, an open source sharing ground. i used the microsoft public license so anyone can download, alter, and profit from the code. i did this...
in my previous post i talked about converting rss data to json using the asp.net ajax javascriptserializer class. i wanted to use this because i wanted an easier way of interacting with some simple data for a sample i was messing with. i didn't really see the need to wrap it in a web service call, etc. and in the end i wanted json data. period.
so why did i want the json data? to mess with it in silverlight of course! what i wanted to do was display my rss feed data in a different way, just out of curiosity. ...
i was working on a little sample and wanted to make it a bit easier on myself to work with my rss data. my thought was to use the JSON format for the data and that way i could get at the data in super-cool-ajaxy-type ways. what was cool was what i found as i began searching.
ASP.NET Ajax provides a class library to javascript! in System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavascriptSerializer is where you will find your magic. the JavascriptSerializer can be used on anything that uses XmlSerialization. sweet.
so now all i had to do was take my RSS data (already in good xml format)...
i have an unfortunate love for technology (or so my bank tells me). i have an unfortunate love for food (or so my scale tells me). i wish i was a good photographer (nobody is telling me i am, so i keep trying). while browsing some local groups, i came across chowdownphoenix.com a new site in my area combining the power of the 'blogosphere' (is anyone tired of being forced to use buzzwords?), good photography, and yummy food. i spent a few minutes on the site and i'm going to make dinner now. cool idea i thought and i'm very curious...
hey all, quick update here. i've been starting to record some media (audio/video interviews) and have set up some feeds for your podcasting delight. next week especially i'll be uploading a few from MIX07 with some great updates that microsoft will be announcing. so, here's an explanation of them (they are on the left and as well as alternate links in the site meta data): All *casts: this is all WMV and MP3 files so you'll get video and audio MP3 Casts: um yeah, mp3 files only WMV Casts: um yeah, wmv files only right now...
