HowTo: Dynamic Loading of XAML through WCF-Service, Donnerstag, 3. Juni 2010 23:03:21

Download VS2010-Solution.

  • Create a WCF-service with one method
    • String SubmitAndGetXaml(string commandParameter)
      • The method loads a Xaml file with the name that is specified by commandParameter from disk
  • Create a WPF-Application with a main window
    • The main window contains a ContentControl-control
  • Add a reference to the WCF-service
  • In the constructor call the SubmitAndGetXaml with a parameter that points to a Xaml-file in the WCF-service
  • Use XamlReader.Parse to parse the return value of the SubmitAndGetXaml-method
  • Assign the result of the XamlReader.Parse-method to the content-property of the ContentControl of the main window

To allow interaction within your dynamic loaded Xamls,…

  • Implement a generic button-handler with in the code-behind of the main window
  • Add "ButtonBase.Click='button_OnSubmit'" (where "button_OnSubmit" is the name of the generic button-handler) to the main window grid
  • Test if current button name is "Submit"
    • If the condition is true, call the SubmitAndGetXaml and use as parameter the CommandParameter-property of the button-object

Note: This has to be done for each type of control that needs some code-behind action.

Disabling Itinerary Encryption in ESB Toolkit 2.0 (from Peter Kelcey), Samstag, 1. Mai 2010 15:13:55

Peter Kelcey descirbes how to disable the intinerary encryption feature of ESB Toolkit 2.0 to be able to export models without encryption. This is obvisously only a good idea on a dev machine, or if your intineraries do not contain any sensible information.

Connected Systems in the Great White North : Disabling Itinerary Encryption in the ESB Toolkit 2.0

 

In short terms:

  1. open “C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.0\Tools\Itinerary Designer\ruleset.config”, i.e. in Visual Studio
  2. search for <property name="EncryptionCertificate">
  3. comment its “validator”-subnode, that contains a validator type of “Microsoft.Practices.Modeling.Validation.X509CertificateContainerValidator”.

Be sure to restart Visual Studio, because it has to reload the ruleset.config!

SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Issue (5048), Montag, 15. Februar 2010 23:04:23

The Installation of my standalone SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 was really straight forward until running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard. I got the following error after running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard:

Download My BizTalk 2009 Visio Shapes, Montag, 11. Januar 2010 21:25:16

It is always the same issue, you have to illustrate a BizTalk solution and you need always the same shapes. So some time ago I started to collect some nice shapes for illustrating BizTalk solutions.

If you need some space-saving BizTalk Visio Shapes, then try my BizTalk 2006 Shapes. But if you need some shapes that are also suitable for PowerPoint presentations, then try my new BizTalk 2009 Shapes. My way to use these shapes is to create a visio drawing to illustrate the solution. And then I copy the drawing to the resulting PowerPoint presentation.

In Virtual PC 2007, Virtual Server and Windows Virtual PC per default the time is synchronized with the host time every 15 seconds. If you have to manipulate the time of a virtual system (for example for testing purposes), then you can change the time synch settings within the VMC-file of your virtual system.
