How To Programmatically Dismiss the SIP (keyboard) in Silverlight applications for Windows Phone

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 02:25 AM PDT

I've been creating some Silverlight applications for Windows Phone lately and I've run into a few speed bumps I thought I'd pass along. This one is in regards to closing the SIP. The virtual keyboard on the phone or the SIP (Soft Input Panel) is the keyboard...( read more )...(read more)

Coaxing the Calendar Control – Which should have been called the Date-Picker Control.

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 06:14 AM PDT

Sometimes you need to dig in a little to get things to work the way that you want. I'm working on an events calendar and I need specific behavior for the home page display. When the page initially renders, I want to display a list of events in the current month. Then, I want to modify the display based on the user's interaction. If the user picks a date then I want to display only the events on that day. If the user navigates to a different month I want to display the events for that month, even if they previously choose a specific day. To do this I need to do the equivalent of a SQL SELECT based on EITHER the Day or the Month depending on the users choices. The code for this was easy but figuring out exactly what to do in relation to the controls...(read more)

Installing, Configuring and Using Windows Server AppFabric and the "Velocity" Memory Cache in 10 minutes

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 03:42 PM PDT

A few weeks back I blogged about the Windows Server AppFabric launch (AppFabric is Microsoft's "Application Server") and a number of folks had questions about how to install and configure the "Velocity" memory cache. It used to be kind of confusing during the betas but it's really easy now that it's released. Here's the comment: Have you tried to setup a appfabric (velocity) instance ? I suggest you try & even do a blog post, maybe under the scenario of using it like a memcache for dasblog. I would love to know how to setup it up, it's crazy hard for what it is. No problem, happy to help. I won't do it for dasblog, but I'll give you easy examples that'll take about 10 minutes. Get and Install...(read more)

Config-free IHttpModule Registration

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 07:29 AM PDT

The ASP.NET pipeline allows HTTP modules to plug in into the request processing lifecycle and do work at various stages. For example, output caching, authentication, authorization etc. are all implemented as HTTP modules. However one of the problems is that HTTP modules must be registered in configuration. This is a little painful for writing framework components where an HTTP module is essentially an implementation detail. You don't want every app developer using your framework to have to add in some configuration entries. What you want is the ability to programmatically add HTTP modules to the pipeline. This isn't available out-of-the-box today. I faced this problem in my previous post around RIA Services, Authentication and Roles...(read more)
