Avoiding IE Script Leaks Just came across this post on MSDN weblogs which points to this MSDN article which identifies the common patterns that scripters leverage that can cause leaks within web applications for users browsing with IE (any browser that uses MSHTML really). The gist of the problem is that both JScript, Microsoft’s ECMAScript implementation, and MSHTML, the […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Registered for the PDC Well, I just finished registering for the PDC. I’m not gonna do any of the pre-cons, so I’ll be flying out on the 12th and will be staying at the Sheraton Wilshire while I’m there. Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
New Coldplay Album, X&Y, Out Today Huge Coldplay fan. Just downloaded X&Y from MSN Music and am already in love. I got to see them play a couple of these songs live in concert already because I won tickets to see them film the AOL live music taping show. Gotta admit the sound at the Beacon theatre was pretty crappy, so […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
f(m): A Client JavaScript Library That Mimics .NET BCL I came across the f(m) project via the Ajaxian Blog. It’s pretty neat to see someone undertaking this. I realize there’s lots of little scripting frameworks out there, but AFAIK no one has taken the same angle to model it after the .NET BCL. One of the coolest libraries f(m) offers is one that mimics System.Threading. For […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Official Microsoft Avalon Beta 1 RC Changes Documentation Tim Sneath posts up the official set of changes (Word format) for the May Beta 1 RC. Word is this will also be availble on MSDN soon. It actually has a less complete list of renames/reorganizations than the change log I’ve been maintaining so be sure to check that out, but it does a better job introducing some of […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

The list is brief and only includes the major ones for now, but I’ll continue to update it as I learn more.

Avalon: May ’05 Beta 1 RC Change Log Commentary Here’s some quick and dirty changes I’ve noticed from the March CTP to the May Beta 1 RC. Hopefully Microsoft will post a formal change log soon: General FrameworkElement::ID property renamed FrameworkElement::Name. Subsequently any properties that used to point to a FrameworkElement by ID now point by Name (e.g. SetterTimeLine::TargetName). IPropertyChanged interface renamed to INotifyPropertyChanged System.Windows.Shapes.StretchableShape […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

Avalon and Indigo Beta 1 RC Released This ought to supply the geeks with something to do this weekend… besides going to see Star Wars of course. 😉 I’ll try and do some coverage of Avalon changes/additions since the March CTP. Oh and congrats to both teams for reaching Beta status! Note: if the link doesn’t come up for you I think […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Avalon Naming Conventions Nick Kramer, a PM on the Avalon team, bursts into the blogging scene with his first post being about Avalon’s various naming conventions. The primary need for these conventions is for discoverability through reflection. The primary “client” that needs to reflect on types using these patterns is the Avalon serialization architecture itself. However, these patterns can also be leveraged by design time […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
