Getting Started with Script# |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2011 08:38 PM PDT At MIX11, I presented a session on Script# titled " Script#: Compiling C# to JavaScript " ... and I did a follow up blog post highlighting the key points from the presentation. This blog post covers the Hello World demo, which will show how you can get started with script#, and deploy scripts authored using this approach. It doesn't go into more advanced topics, but hopefully it will also demonstrate a couple of key principles at play: Script# doesn't introduce some new and odd abstractions. You're still very much authoring script against the DOM and standard APIs, and existing knowledge of web development carries forward. The generated script is similar to script you might have authored directly, and can be distributed...(read more) |
| Posted: 26 Apr 2011 09:49 AM PDT New Release First, if you wander on over to the AgFx CodePlex site, you'll see that there is a new release up. There's some new things in this new release such as some statistics about the performance of your application, the ability to specify exact cache expiration, and some bug fixes. The majority of feedback that I have gotten has been feature requests or "how do I?", and few in the way of bug reports. So it's working well for most people, hopefully that continues. Please file bugs if you find them! All of the below references the code sample that you can find in the CodePlex source tree at AgFx\Samples\Facebook.Auth.Sample . OAuth with Facebook and AgFx on Windows Phone 7 Something applications commonly want to do...(read more) |

| Best Practices for Regular Expressions in the .NET Framework Posted: 28 Apr 2011 06:45 PM PDT The regular expression engine in the .NET Framework supports a powerful and flexible regular expression language and a sophisticated feature set that includes backtracking and balancing group definitions. As a backtracking NFA engine, however, it places the responsibility for controlling the regular expression engine on the regular expression developer. This topic discusses some of the best practices that developers can follow to maximize regular expression performance when working with regular expression objects, taking advantage of backtracking, and defining capturing groups. |

Just Posted: Stephan T. Lavavej’s Advanced STL, 4 of n |
| Just Posted: Stephan T. Lavavej’s Advanced STL, 4 of n Posted: 27 Apr 2011 02:59 PM PDT
Advanced STL covers the gory details of the STL's implementation -> you will therefore need to be versed in the basics of STL, competent in C++ (of course), and be able to pay attention! Stephan is a great teacher and we are so happy to have him on Channel 9—the only place you'll find this level of technical detail regarding the internals of the STL. There are no books. There are no websites. This is Stephan taking us into what is uncharted territory for most, even those with a more advanced STL skill set.
See the previous chapters on this Advanced STL series: Part 1 -> shared_ptr and friends

Hacking Education: A Contest for Developers and Data Crunchers |
| Hacking Education: A Contest for Developers and Data Crunchers Posted: 26 Apr 2011 01:00 AM PDT The folks over at DonorsChoose.org are running an "open data" context in April that I thought you all might be interested in! DonorsChoose is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. The difference is that the Donor can target a project directly...you can choose where your $1 goes. So far, more than 165,000 teachers at 43,000 public schools have posted over 300,000 classroom projects supported by 409,000 citizen philanthropists who have made >900,000 project donations at DonorsChoose.org to date. That makes for a whole lot of data that is publicly accessible for a contest, after of course scrubbing identifying information about teachers and donors. The resulting info will include everything from...(read more) | ||

| MS11-025 Visual C++ Update Issue Posted: 26 Apr 2011 11:27 AM PDT Greetings, I'm Raman Sharma, Program Manager with the Visual C++ team.
As part of the April Security Bulletin Release, Microsoft released security bulletin MS11-025. Since then, we became aware of some issues with this bulletin that impact some users on Windows 2000 and a subset of developers using Visual C++. Our team has identified the cause of these issues and is currently testing the fix. The update will be publicly available once testing is complete, and we will update this blog. As customer protection is a top priority for Microsoft, we are providing some workarounds for the impacted customers.
MFC applications running on Windows 2000IssueWe discovered that the redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 were propagated through Microsoft Update to Windows 2000, which is no longer a supported platform. Developers who use Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 to produce applications for use on Windows 2000 machines are expected to distribute the appropriate redistributable package themselves. As a result of this automatic update, some applications dynamically linking to the MFC libraries on Windows 2000 were broken, as the updated MFC binaries happened to use an API unsupported on Windows 2000. As soon as we became aware of this issue, we stopped automatically offering these updates on Windows 2000. We believe the exposure is fairly limited as this impacts only those applications that are not statically linked to MFC.
Visual Studio 2010 RTM with Windows SDKIssueIf you have Visual Studio 2010 RTM and Windows SDK 7.1 installed on an x64 machine, then the Visual Studio 2010 update (KB2455033) fails to install on your machine.
Please note that the above workaround will not actually remove the compiler bits from your machine and you should still be able to use the x64 compilers. The workaround just addresses some incorrect definitions in the patch. We hope to release the permanent fix for these issues soon. In the meantime, customers who follow the guidance above should not be affected. If you have any questions please let us know.
Thank you, Raman Sharma | ||

| Boris Jabes on Game Development and Other Demons Posted: 22 Apr 2011 02:56 PM PDT
I recently interviewed Boris Jabes, a fun Visual C++ Program Manager guy to talk to. After a brief discussion of IntelliSense in VC++ –Boris has the distinction of being the first guy to share the news about the removal of C++/CLI IntelliSense support in VC10, we move on to exploring game development in C++ and potential directions VC may take to make it easier to build high-performing, graphically rich games. This is one of the typically open-minded-with-candor conversations with the C++ team that have become the norm here on Channel 9 lately. True Channel 9 Old School. Much thanks to the VC++ team for being so open and helpful, and for truly listening to what the VC++ community wants and needs. Enjoy! [Watch or download the interview in Channel 9] |
