Re: VS2012 and Metro Apps on Windows 8
We were having a discussion at lunch time about tablets and tablet like interfaces. And though we weren't talking about win8 per se there was two schools of thought. One camp thought that keyboards will always provide a high bandwidth to computer interaction for us (devs) content creators. And that the tablet interfaces will never suffice. While my view was that as abstractions mature more software enabling that content creation through these interfaces will appear, and will improve the bandwidth sufficiently. My view is when wimps appeared keyboard hacks like me found them hard use and to maintain productivity. But as they matured things improved considerably. Key things that come to mind are IDEs with data/tool tips and interactive text windows. And thought I 'hate' windows 8 for being a giant phone it's only a temporary thing until the software matures - v.next++. In fact I'm going as far to bet my career on it again. -- preet On 28 September 2012 19:32, Greg Keogh g...@mira.net wrote: Greg, embrace the change. It's a beautiful world.

Getting jQuery dialog to work in MVC4.5
Hi all,
I am having trouble getting the jQuery dialog to popup in an MVC4.5 view.
Basically I have some divs set up:
div id=DeleteConfirmation style=visibility:hidden
div id=dialog-confirm title=Delete Confirmation?
pspan class=ui-icon ui-icon-alert style=float:left; margin:0
7px 20px 0;/span
span id=DeleteConfirmationText/span
/p
/div
/div
I have a confirm delete function, which is executed by clicking on an image
button (so document is already ready)
function ConfirmDeleteLineItem(itemId, currentLineItem) {
$(#DeleteConfirmationText).html(Are you sure you want to delete
this item?);
$(#dialog-confirm).dialog({
resizable: false,
height: 200,
width: 600,
modal: true,
buttons: {
Delete item: function () {
DeleteLineItem(itemId, currentLineItem);
$(this).dialog(close);
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog(close);
}
}
});
}
The problem is that it can't execute the .dialog method.
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method
'dialog'
Within the head section of the page, when I view source, it has:
script src=/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.js/script
script src=/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.20.js/script
And the debugger says that jquery-1.7.1.js and jquery-ui-1.8.20.js are
loaded.
Is there something I'm missing?
Regards,
Tony
Re: VS2012 and Metro Apps on Windows 8
Last night I found myself in front of the Xbox trying out the XBox Smartglass app. It wasn't as smart as I was hoping. It was cool though. Anyway, I found myself looking for apps I could install, and installed the YouTube app. I was disappointed to discover I couldn't do a voice search. Typing with a circular alphabet and xbox controller is slow and painful. Each letter takes several seconds to navigate to the letter. Trying the Kinect to enter it was worse. Nope, for this thing to be usable, I want to speak and it needs to pick up what I said with no error. It also needs to learn how to ignore my ums, and ahs, and that mental hurdle one experiences when you know you have to say it exactly right as you are being recorded or you could end up anywhere. (safe search on thank you). On another note, I've got two apps in the Win8 app store now. Its damned addictive and I've found myself rushing home to code until the wee hours. Need... some... sleep. Third app is pending certification. Hope no one minds if I link em here, i'm pretty chuffed. Now i know what all the fuss is about with those iOs/Android app developers. http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/combat-tracker/e757139b-b67c-4780-84b9-fdb49b883c72 http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/keeping-score/650dd144-388b-4a15-80e7-f4e7dc3cf26a Anyone else working on anything they'd like to share?

Re: VS2012 and Metro Apps on Windows 8
Good link Nick. Windows 8 RTM, with VS 2012 RTM. Resharper (cause i'm a noob without it) Asus eee slate (with Windows 8 on it) for testing the touch stuff. Highly recommend you test with touch. The simulator that comes with VS2012 is good but nothing beats a real device. Lots of late nights. Its addictive. If you have MSDN then you should have a token to sign up on the store for free. (I did with Premium anyway. not sure about Professional I'd assume so). So you register an app, reserve the name you'd like. Fill in the boxes and read all the Learn more links. Write your app. There's a Store menu in Visual Studio that does some Windows 8 app things. Either short cuts that take you to the appropriate page, or kick of tasks such as Package your app, Associate with Application in Windows store (where you point it to the App name you registered). Once you find the Store menu (its under Project menu I think.. ) On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 4:50 PM, Greg Keogh g...@mira.net wrote: On another note, I've got two apps in the Win8 app store now. ** ** That was the crux of my question ...

So only thing you check in is the nuget config files that it adds to your solution.

Unless the source control is very smart about DLLs, it's going to store a total new dll every time you checkin new dlls, and your ability to see what's happening with a diff is negated.

If you don’t want to check in the dlls you can do what’s called package restore, which pulls down the packages dynamically, however, a change in the later version means that each developer box needs to opt into this, so it’s a lot easier to check the entire packages folder.
