Visual Studio - JScript Editor 支援 -vsdoc.js IntelliSense 文件

VS2008 愈來愈聰明了!

KB958502 - JScript Editor support for “-vsdoc.js” IntelliSense documentation files

hotfix 安裝需求:
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition with SP1

執行:
若在文件中引入 javascript 檔案, 命名如: abc-1.2.3.js
VS2008 將會自動找尋對應的 -vsdoc.js 文件 (如: abc-1.2.3-vsdoc.js) 做為 intellisense 的文件來源

也就是說只要準備 abc-1.2.3.js 及 abc-1.2.3-vsdoc.js 兩個檔案

引入時只需引入 abc-1.2.3.js 檔

在外部的 js 參考也僅需加入原檔的參考, 而不需要輸入完整的 intellisense 參考檔

[Blend2] Intellisense for Expression Blend 2 SP1

While coding in source code mode, XAMLntellisense is avaliable in VS2008 but not in Blend2. BUT I find a good news, now it's possible to have intellisense in Blend2. Please read articles listed below:

Articles: Intellisense for Expression Blend 2 SP1 working again! (mention details about installation steps)
Code Reference: IntelliSense For Expression Blend

Installing BlendSense in XP is as easy as what the article instructs. Under Vista OS, I have to use cmd console to execute following command:
# cd [Blend Installation Folder]<br># Blend.exe -addin:Addins\Expression.Blend.Intellisense.dll

[iTextSharp] iTextSharp encryption options for PDF document

The userPassword and the ownerPassword can be Nothing or have zero length. In this case the ownerPassword is replaced by a random string.

The open permissions for the document can be following:

Use WCF in Silverlight 2

I don't know why I have to set BasicHttpBinding, and EndpointAddress parameters while calling WCF.

In silverlight tutorial always use below:
Dim client As New ServiceReference1.SimpleWCFClient ()

BUT, I have to declare like below syntax to make it work. It is not so dynamic coding, since I have to give the WCF file URL.

Dim client As New ServiceReference1.SimpleWCFClient ( _
New BasicHttpBinding, _
New EndpointAddress("http://localhost/SilverlightApp_Web/SimpleWCF.svc") _
)

Event Handler in VB.NET/C#

I am using VB.NET at work, but currently most of the tutorials for learning Silverlight taught in C#. I am not that familiar with C#, although I understand other similar programming language such as Java. As a result, I need to write it down for looking up in the future.

Event Handler Syntax in VB/C#:

Bold: Event Name
Bold Itatlic: Event Function

VB Syntax:

AddHandler wcService.DownloadStringCompleted, AddressOf wcServiceDownloadStoriesCompleted


C# Syntax:

wcService.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wcServiceDownloadStoriesCompleted);

Visual Studio is a great IDE and editor, I use it at work for doing .NET projects. However, I would also like to use it to deal with my PHP projects, since it has better debugging function for JavaScript in VS2008.

I do not really need php IDE but code coloring.

Here is a great tool to help me out!
