Problemas para acceder a carpetas de mi IIS 7 local de Windows 7

Fabián Bermeo — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:58:14 GMT

Hola todos este es mi problema tengo una firma electronica en aspx que genera llaves publicas y privadas y encripta el archivo que yo desee sea imagenes doc, etc... para encriptar debe buscar en las carpetas de mi aplicacion especificamente _paquetefirmas y con esto encripta el documento. localmente funciona sin ningun problema. EL PROBLEMA SE DA CUANDO LO PUBLICO ME DICE REFERENCIA NO ESTABLECIDA COMO INSTANCIA DE UN OBJETO DEBIDO A QUE BUSCA LAS LLAVES PUBLICAS O PRIVADAS Y COMO NO PUEDE ACCEDER PUES VIENE UN NULL Y ENTRA EN EL CATCH, ¿Que privilegios debo darle a mis carpetas o que debo configurar para que el sistema acceda a estas carpetas y permita encriptar, verificar etc?

Cannot get to ends of threads

Herbie Smith — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:55:38 GMT

There are several threads tha I cannot see the end of -- every time I open the thread it goes to page 1 and when I try to move to the next page, it repeats page 1 again.

Example is the spam thread http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/Feedback/478107-Spam-Comment/

Pls don't letterbox Vids

the_corona — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:50:41 GMT

Hi,

as topic says, pls don't stick 16/9 vids into a 4/3 AR with black bars on top/bottom.

Cant get WMP to use all screen real estate with it.

Example vids are the recent IE9 vids (in WMV high mode....didnt try other but assume its the same). Oh and I can't use silverlight since thats way too slow for my cpu in fullscreen mode.

Thnx

Code Format

Bent Rasmussen — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:37:00 GMT

It's not possible to express that a string in a C# codeblock should be bolded, e.g.

[code language="csharp"]var? x = 1.0;[/code]

I realize this is not correct C# and suspect it has to do with the fact that in VB.NET you can use XML directly.

Bookmarklet for full screen Silverlight player on Channel 9

Greg Bray — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:24:55 GMT

I use multiple monitors and often have a Channel 9 video playing on one of them while I work. I finally got tired of using the WMV links to get a real full screen player that wouldn't close when clicking on another browser window, so I created a bookmarlket that resizes the video player to use up the whole width and height of the window. It inserts the player at the top of the page, so while it is playing you can scroll down and read comments or open the links. If anyone else is interested in using it you can find out more information here:

Size of the videos too big to download

shahkalpesh — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:07:44 GMT

Hi there,

I don't know if someone has asked this question already & if this issue has been taken care of?

I was looking at Erik Meijer's Functional Programming lectures series & thought of downloading the video.

Somehow, the size of MP4 is more than 300 MB, WMV is also the same.

Is there a low-fi version of the same? I mean - can fit in half or less than half size?

Any alternatives? Flash? ;)

Any other website where I can see these videos on light format?

Thanks

Kalpesh

Jason & Charles Future Interview Pair-Up

Eric Aguiar — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:58:58 GMT

I've been refreshing my memory on the awesome Lang.NET subject videos and I saw some potential if Charles and Jason teamed up to interview a future victim on C9. I say that because they had a good vibe in the Jason Olson: Composing Programming Languages, F# and OO video and both have really good angles on multiple different subjects. Jason seems to be really current on modern development and is now more in the trenches, and Charles is the decorated C9 vet with really insightful questions and philosophy during the interview action.

I'm just putting the idea out there but I'd really enjoy a future event of Charles and Jason to team up against some new blood on C9 to see how things turn out, hopefully others may also want to see this too.

BTW hello C9 forum, this is my first forum post.

SilverLight Player Nearly Unusable

Jeff Klawiter — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:19:05 GMT

I am having a lot of issues witht he Silverlight Player. I am running SL version 3.0.40818.0. I have been having this same issue on multiple machines, 2 Windows 7 and one Windows Vista. I have confirmed that it is happening in both FireFox (3.5 and 3.6b1) and IE8. I have a feeling this may be related to VS2010 Beta 2. Which I have installed on all machines. .

The video never lines up correctly within the box. Depending on where I have the browser scrolled it gets offset. It doesn't really play either, it shows a random frame every 15 seconds or so. Sometimes it never shows up at all, it remains black. In both browsers if I double click on the box it will go to full screen and work correctly. When I exit full screen it will still be broken in the page.

Below are screenshots of what I get.

Media RSS/Mp4 Format broken

George J. Capnias — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:46:03 GMT

I have tried to use the media RSS with Channel9 videos in my new phone (Nokia XpressMusic 5800).

Well, there is no way to see the videos offered and I think there is a problem here:

Nokia, supports Media RSS format in order to get videos from Media RSS feeds. Nokia Video center selects type="video/mp4" videos from the feed in order to download and playback. So far so good, as Media RSS Channel9 offers links for this type of videos.
Channel9 offers .mp4 videos that are "labeled" as type="video/mp4" but they are actually type="video/x-hx-avc1". Media RSS feed offers two links for type="video/mp4" videos, that are actually the same video file. What is the problem with this?
Most of the mobile devices do not have the process power to decode this type of videos as hardware support is required in order to achieve that. I would like to ask, that type="video/mp4" videos would be actually .mp4 videos (the original .mp4 format).
It would be nice to keep type="video/x-hx-avc1" videos as they are encoded in a better format, but marked with a different type, in order to be easy to be recognized my Media RSS players.

Regards,
George J.

Zune-format broken?

Björn Österman — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:46:28 GMT

I've been downloadning the Zune-format of the videos for viewing in my HTC Black Diamond, but since a couple of weeks ago the videos doesn't seem to be working in that format anymore.

If I download the zune-version of an old video it works great.

[EDIT] Does it work for anyone at all?

Flash required in Coffeehouse?

androidi — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:52:28 GMT

Has my just clean installed system already come infected or why I get IE saying "This website wants to run the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' ..." on all the pages including the Coffeehouse and this now?

Impossible to go beyond page 1 in a specific thread.

Bas — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:11:17 GMT

In the WMP thread (http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/Coffeehouse/501704-Charles-Any-Word-On-Interviews-With-The-Media-Player-12-Team/?CommentID=503105#Page=1) there is no way for me to move beyond the first page. The next page/last page buttons do nothing, and clicking on the last post time in the thread list just brings me to the first page again. My profile is set up to always take me to the first unread post, but that doesn't work either. Editing the URL doesn't help either.

Doesn't happen in other multipage threads. IE8 on Windows 7 Pro.

Edit: Oh hey, it happens in the Spam Comment thread on this forum too. Also a three-pager.

Привет всем! Петя, отлично выступил на прошлом выпуске radio-t. Поздравляю!
Спасибо за отличные подкасты!
Юзаю W7 с мая. Всё удобно и юзер-френдобильно! Действительно ОС стала работать значительно быстрее, и стабильнее.
Пока что не смог разобраться с очень важным для меня расширенным поиском файлов на компьютере, который так хорошо был реализован в XP.
Вот вопросы, на которые не нашел ответы в хелпе более подробно:
1) Как осуществить поиск файлов на компьютере с более гибкими условиями, если расплывчатые «давно», «ранее в этом году» и т.д., не устраивают?
2) Есть ли диалоговое окно в котором можно было бы внести все условия поиска и только после этого начать искать, а не в процессе внесения условий поиска?
3) Как искать файлы, если известна часть названия, но необходимо ограничить поиск только файлами с определёнными расширениями (например одним - *.xxx или несколькими - *.xxx;*.yyy;*.zzz) , а так же размером файла (например: не имение 3Mb или с 3Mb по 100Mb ) и периодом времени (например: с 01.09.09 по 11.10.09)?
4) В фильтре «дата изменения» нет возможности точно указать период – надпись «дата изменения» есть, а диалоговое окно не раскрывается!
То же самое касается указания временного периода для поиска, в этом разделе стрелочка для открытия диалогового окна есть, а окно отсутствует!
Задание благодарен за ответ, надеюсь, он многим будет полезен!

Code

Bent Rasmussen — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:39:24 GMT

Provide some padding around code blocks a la blockquotes. Difference

[code language="csharp"]class A<T> { ... }[/code]

class A<T> { ... }

So to gain the best of both one has to mix them

[code language="csharp"]class A<T> { ... }[/code]

Not too efficient.

A downside of the monospace code formatting is that it takes up more space so code can sometimes look a bit horrible in the forums.

Also, I always manually create block quotes. Is there a UI way to do this, it's a nuisance.

...And then of course Haskell code formatting ;-)

Video download link for MP4 does not work in IE8

Rob Cannon — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:22:05 GMT

I have the set the download to iPod MP4 (I tried this with the PSP option also). That triggers an .MP4 to download and immediately play in my browser.

What I want to do is save it to my hard drive to watch later or synch with my iPhone. So, when I right click on the link and select "Save Target As", it tries to save an .M4A file instead of an .MP4 file. I can do a similar action in Firefox and it works correctly. I would like to do this from IE (my primary browser) and not have to lauch Firefox just for Channel 9.

Does anyone else have this issue? Can we get this fixed?

What happened to this video?

Coffeehouse Broken?

audio / loudness / silverlight

anotherSepp — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:14:05 GMT

thanks for the great videos, but:

can you please do a better job with the audio quality, i.e. the loudness, e.g. by using a compressor?

even with the volume turned up to maximum the voices are barely understandable.

thank you,

sepp

edit:

I downloaded the wma version of an interview and surprisingly it appeared to be louder than what i remembered, and in fact perfectly loud enough. Same is true for the wmv.

As it turns out it was the silverlight version that imho is too quiet (on my system).

I had all available volume controls to 100% for comparison, and the SL version appears to be significantly quieter than the other versions mentioned. But maybe I have some SL specific settings wrong, which I don't know where to set.

Sorry for posting without looking into my problem more thoroughly. I will simply consume the wmv version next time which solves my problem.

UPDATE:

Here the silverlight volume slider is at 100% by default, but the actual volume set is noticably lower than 100%.

Touching the slider, its graphical representation does not change, whereas the accociated value changes, i.e. makes it louder than befor.

This is reproducable atleast for http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/mtaulty/Prism--Silverlight-Part-1-Taking-Sketched-Code-Towards-Unity/.

So I believe the C9 SL video player application's initial graphical representation is wrong.

thank you,

sepp

MS Access 2010

Brice It — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:52:41 GMT

Great time watching this demo......I'm floored in a few ways but not in the way you might think. I'm an Access developer and have been for almost 10 years......

A few comments and opinions on the "new" Access 2010.....

1) If ever there were a truth about a Microsoft product, it certainly holds true for Office 2007 and beyond....which is, that THIS PRODUCT HAS JUMPED THE SHARK......Microsoft has OVERPRODUCED it.....the ribbon sucks, the new application facelift is virtually unnavigable, and relative to MS Access, you've removed the data window and jacked around all the data filter commands....WTF?

2) MS Access 2007+ is virtually unusable for a developer. It is cumbersome to work in at best. I cannot work in these versions and I REFUSE......I REFUSE to develop a solution in MS Access 2007+ USING MS Access 2007+. For the FORSEEABLE future, I will continue to develop MS Access apps in 2003 and test them on later Office platforms when necessary. If you are going to retard the product with a useless ribbon, could you at least have some sympathy for the f*^&%^ing developers of the product (also known as your LOYAL user base) and provide a user option to return to a "classic version" configuration?

3) Macros have always been a joke (in my opinion). If you are going to develop an Access application for a business, you should be working directly with VBA not macros.....with rare exception the only macro necessary to use in VBA for Access is the AutoExec macro which kick starts the application with the opening of the main form. But in Access 2010 you've REFOCUSED efforts to further dumb down the app by employing all that * interface for macros? It's an overproduced waste of time......

4) It's great that you want to reincarnate MS Access from a WinForm solution to a hybride WinForm+WebBased solution.....I'm ecstatic that Microsoft is not going to deprecate Access from the world at large since quite frankly, it's the only damn product that Microsoft ever TRULY got right.....(you could argue that Front Page was another extraordinary MS product but where is it today?) That's right, Microsoft has shitcanned that app for a clumsy version of VS Web Developer........again, another product that jumped the shark....back to the point....MS Access 2010 has been reincarnated to work seamlessly with SharePoint.....great.....give me an add-in that I can use for MS Access 2003 and I'll use it....otherwise that shitball of an application is useless....

I hate to be so hard on the hard-working efforts made by MS devs who have contributed to this product but, I have to tell you that you are developing this application IN ALL THE WRONG DIRECTIONS......

AS an aside, VISUAL STUDIO devs could learn a few things by employing some of the elegance and simplicity that comprises user navigation and UI in MS Access 2003. Let me see, let me develop an app using VB.Net and try to connect to a database, develop FLEXIBLE reporting and then hand it off to the user.....let me do the SAME thing in MS Access 2003 and the entire effort is about 70% less work.....VS 2008 database connections include *ing adapters, binding sources, datasets, table adapters, etc.

Let me SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY *ING LUNGS for some functionality pieces in MS Access that developers around the world are looking for......it's another waste of keystrokes here though because no one at MICROSOFT IS LISTENING....but if this rant doesn't get canned from the Channel 9 site at least it will show some semblance of freedom of expression here as well as openness to L I S T E N.

SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR MS ACCESS FUNCTIONALITY THAT THE ACCESS DEVELOPER WORLD REALLY WANTS:::::::

1) Ability to convert mdb or accdb into EXECUTABLES

2) Ability to encrypt and/or lock tables separately or all of them simultaneously

3) INCREASED SELECTION OF CONTROLS FOR MS ACCESS DEVELOPMENT

4) Increased file capacity from 2GB to say 100GB

5) Better documentation tools integrated into the VBA Editor (Ex: ability to export COLORIZED VBA code documents)

6) More datatypes added to enrich what can be stored in Access tables

7) Better (MUCH BETTER) graphing capabilities for charting data

8) Increased VBA language capabilities that parallel VB.Net

There are many more needed improvements but the aforementioned is a start.

Now, MS decision makers, go back to your development shacks and forget these opinions were ever expressed...

New larger player and other stuff...

Duncan Mackenzie — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:18:45 GMT

We'll have a proper 'team' post later today (10/21), but I just pushed out a code update that included a wider silverlight player, a search box across the site, and other assorted changes.

the videos have been wider for awhile now, but scaled down when played on the page.. this new player lets you see them in their native resolution of 512px wide (and somewhere between 288px and 384px high... depending on the aspect ratio).
