New hardware surfacing from Redmond
It went public at 12:01 a.m. on May 30 – Microsoft® revealed the outcome of "Project Milan" now branded as Microsoft Surface™ and scheduled to debut in November this year. The nature of the project is a "multi-touch, gestural- and object-recognition interface technology on which Microsoft has been laboring for the past few years". Named "Surface" and five years in the making, it's set to establish a paradigm of what Microsoft calls "surface computers" which use touch as the sole method of input. The goal is to deliver a hardware/software platform very close to the people and to weave the technology...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Ubiquitous: a funny word that unearths some PowerShell trivia
Do you think that the word "ubiquitous" can be hard on a non-native English speaker's ears. It is hard for Bulgarians, that I am sure. I picked it for the title because I really like its the strangeness and because it has a nice allusion to the software development best practice of automating everything that you get your hands on: tests, build procedures, and deployment. You need that to gain predictability in your project and ensure rapid and often delivery of new features. What surprised me was Jeffrey Snover's (yes, the architect behind PowerShell) comment about the original use of the word... -

TechEd 2007, here we come!
I am posting this literally minutes before heading to the airport. I, Vassil, Atanas, Vlad, and several blogless people (hint! hint!) are leaving for the US today. Todd will be joining us too! Come visit us at booth #515. We are delighted to meet you, have a little chat and demo the latest developments on the ASP.NET controls, Sitefinity, WinForms, Reporting, and Silverlight fronts. Meet you there!WebAll style tags after the first 30 style tags on an HTML page are not applied in Internet Explorer workaround
Did you know that all style tags after the first 30 style tags on an HTML page are not applied in Internet Explorer? Well this applies to IE7 and LINK elements too and if you have such page for example you are lost: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="StyleSheet.css" /> <link type="text/css"...PeopleI am writing a book!
Yes I am! I can finally announce that and I am sooo excited! I have been working with the Apress guys, most importantly Jonathan Hassell, on starting an intermediate-level book on Windows PowerShell (formerly known as Monad). We have finished the book proposal checklist (a huge one, mind you) and it got approved. I am now off to finishing the paperwork related to contracts and other boring stuff and I have already started writing. The book is tentatively titled Ubiquitous Automation with Windows PowerShell. I am an automation freak and I want to help everyone in the world reap the benefits of becoming...May 27, 2021 3 min readReleaseRegister for new WebCast today (really)
I am happy to announce that I will be doing another WebCast with Joe Stagner at Microsoft this Thursday, May 31st at 9:00 AM PST (Noon EST). After the massive success of our last WebCast (which is still available for download), we arranged to make another appearance in the "Live from Redmond" WebCast series to address a common ASP.NET developer scenario. The WebCast, titled "Do-it-yourself forums", will show you how you can use RadGrid, RadTreeView, RadEditor, and RadAjax "Prometheus" (the version based on ASP.NET AJAX) to build a simple forum application in less than 60 minutes. If fact, here is a brief...WebThe new Silverlight media player

One of the features added to RadAjax "Prometheus" in the recent service pack was a new control called the RadAjaxManagerProxy. This control enables you to easily Ajaxify controls in your UserControls without worrying about adding multiple RadAjaxManagers to a page. Most RadAjax developers would probably say that Ajaxifying UserControls is one of the more difficult aspects of adding Ajax to an ASP.NET application. Even with good documentation, it is difficult to decide whether you should add an AjaxManager to each UserControl or handle all UserControl Ajax settings programmatically from a parent container. The big drawback of the later option (which is usually the...
