Web Application Toolkit: Internet Explorer 8 Extensibility

James Senior — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:21:00 GMT

Today users can access rich information and services while they are browsing a site; it's not a trivial task to expose this content to the same users when they are not on that site. The goal of this Web Application Toolkit is to leverage the new features in Internet Explorer 8 (Web Slices, Accelerators and Visual Search Providers) to extend the reach of your web site and services also to those users that are not on your site. The Web Application Toolkit includes a set of ASP.NET Web Controls that you can use to take advantage of these IE new features in your own Web application.

Northeast Roadshow - Exploring Internet Explorer 8

Brian Johnson — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:16:00 GMT

There are plenty of new things to talk about with Internet Explorer 8, and no time like the present since it’s officially released! In this screencast, we begin with a tour of the new consumer features from the relatively minor of tab groups and improved zooming through the major with tab process isolation, Accelerators, and WebSlices. Then, a brief but important look at standards and compatibility options every web developer should understand. Finally, there’s a look at new developer features including an in-depth look at the developer tools included with IE8 to help work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Slides from the session are available on the Northeast Roadshow Code Gallery.

Accelerators are a new IE8 feature that enables users to find and access information without leaving the web page. In this screen cast, Zhiming Xue (Dr. “Z”), Microsoft Architect Evangelist, demonstrates how developers can make an accelerator available in web applications so that users can install and use it. For additional resources about web slices are available at IE8 Readiness Toolkit and OpenService Accelerators Developer Guide.

Catherine Eibner — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 23:05:00 GMT

This week the lovely Nina Vines who is the CRM Technical Specialist from our Australian Dynamics team joined me to record the first in our series of webcasts on the new Dynamics CRM accelerators. We decided to do these after receiving so many requests for copies of the unrecorded LiveMeeting session we did on the first 3 accelerators a few weeks ago.

Jon Seitel, Program Manager on the IE team, sits down with us to discuss IE8's Accelerators feature. How do they work? How do you work them (from both a developer's and end user's perspective)? What problems do they solve?

Learn about IE8's Accelerators from somebody who owns the feature.

CRM Accelerators: Enterprise Search

Girish Raja — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:33:00 GMT

In this video, we take a look at the Enterprise Search Accelerator for CRM and see how SharePoint and CRM can complement each other in creating business solutions.

The enterprise search accelerator allows Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) customers to view and search for Microsoft Dynamics CRM data directly from their SharePoint portals.

Additionally, the technology, Business Data Catalog (BDC), and techniques used with this accelerator can be employed to surface data from other line of business applications to further enrich the SharePoint portal.

BDC makes it easy for people to connect to, find, and act on information stored in structured line-of-business systems (such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM) by using a declarative framework to securely integrate them into search results. With BDC you can configure actionable audience-specific portals, dashboards and mash-up interfaces for this data without writing any code.

Please now sit back and join me for the next 45 minutes while I go end-to-end on customising IE8!
