----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on BDOTNET
----------------------------------------------------------- From: Varad_RS Message 1 in Discussion Hi, Microsoft has released the new code names for the next release of software components. The new code names are as follows: Longhorn - This is the next release of Microsoft Windows Operating System.It is the first operating system built with managed code and the first to host a new storage sub-system (code named "WinFS") that revolutionizes the concept of a file system. The pages for Longhorn are written in a new declarative markup language, code-named (so many new stuff, lots to learn, right:) "XAML" (Extensible Application Markup Language). Each and every XAML tag corresponds to a .NET Framework class and comes with a collection of methods, properties and events. Longhorn represents a landmark in the history of Windows Operating System. To learn more about Longhorn visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/ Indigo - The upcomming version Longhorn will include a unified programming model and communications infrastructure for developing connected systems. This infrastructure is code named "Indigo". One of the key benefits of Indigo is it provides a unified programming model and protocol stack for all common language runtime (the great CLR)-based remoting technologies. Indigo is the next step in evolutionary path that started with COM, COM+ nad MSMQ. To learn more about Indigo visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/indigo/default.aspx Avalon - This is an integral part of Longhorn, consits mostly of a new collection of classes added to the .NET Framework. The most important new namespaces for Avalon programming currently have names like MSAvalon.Windows, MSAvalon.Windows.Controls and MSAvalon.Windows.Media (These might change before long horn reaches final release). We can mention this as a presentation subsystem in the next version of Windows. To learn more about Avalon visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/understanding/pillars/avalon/default.aspx Last but not the least WinFS - This is a revolutionary File Storage System that lets users search and manage files based on content. As mentioned in Longhorn para earlier, this comes with the next version of Windows allows users to perform search based on metadate irrespective of type of file or creator of the file. This is going to be the basic building block for all applications on Longhorn. One small feature of WinFS, When you copy a Word document to your My Documents folder or some where in the work station whcih is running WinFS, information about the file will be put into the WinFS store so that applications can perform searches based on the files properties. We can say that WinFS is an advanced version of Share Point Portal Server with respect to document searching. Check out more on WinFS at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwinfs/html/winfs03112004.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/01/WinFS/default.aspx Guys, Microsoft is introducing new technolgy/languages day by day making us to keep our learning curve always straight..... All the best...
