Extending MonoRail ViewComponent
Quick note before I leave my desk for a meeting
Always apply ViewComponentDetailsAttribute on your custom ViewComponent like this
[ViewComponentDetails(string name, string sections,
Type CacheKeyFactory, ViewComponentCache Cache)]
This will prevent your custom view component name clash with base component name.
Okay ! got to go
Let do Projection
This would be a continue part from my previous post, what I tried to do is find out how to use ActiveRecord “NHiberate to be accurate” in my reporting scenario (not a CRUD) after a quick search, It came up with a few blog posts
- ActiveRecord and ASP.NET 2.0 [Ayende ]
- Projection Using ActiveRecord’s ImportAttribute and HQL’s new Clause [Ken Egozi]
It will take another post for me to wrap up how I come up with …. stay tune.
Edit: I shouldn’t have missed, exploring test case
Castle.ActiveRecord.Tests\ActiveRecordGenericsTestCase.cs
Ubuntu "Dock It Mac Way"
It almost 2 months since my busy schedule started, I was unable to find sometime to spend with my beloved Gutsy until today * I am no expert in Ubuntu * in the exploration process I decided to upgrade a few packages to it latest version and well I come across one cool package:
Avant Window Navigator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen. It has support for launchers, task lists, and third party applets.The Awn project is the development of the ‘dock’, avant-window-navigator, and its corresponding shared library ‘libawn’, which is used to develop applets.
For more detail instruction read it @ http://www.ubuntugeek.com or direct link Avant Window Navigator enjoy fun ;)
Visual Studio 2008 stink without ReSharper
Oh ! man I though VS2008 will give developer more productivity I was wrong.
Without ReSharper I feel like I take my time writing stupid code that do nothing.
VS2008 Refactoring tool is suck !
However the ReSharper 4.0 for Visual Studio 2008 is not yet release, but I can install the 3.1 with the following command
msiexec /i ReSharperSetup.3.1.Full.VS80.msi VSVERSION=9.0
And here we go all the goodness command are come back to me.
If you don’t believe me watch demo video feature highlight.
This is how a GIANT learn to copy files
Vista SP1 Notable Change – most notable change is MS is still learning how perform file operation (Copy/Move/Delete) the right way.
- Improves performance over Windows Vista’s current performance across the following scenarios1:
- 25% faster when copying files locally on the same disk on the same machine
- 45% faster when copying files from a remote non-Windows Vista system to a SP1 system
- 50% faster when copying files from a remote SP1 system to a local SP1 system
Oh and here is the funny part:
Improves the copy progress estimation when copying files within Windows Explorer to about two seconds.
What so exciting improvement to be expect in the list :D Well, it sound like we have to wait for SP1+ before purchasing product release by MS.
I wonder does SP1+ = version 3.0 :)) anyway enjoy reading detail here.
Level1Remove : Unblock/block file attachments in MS. Outlook
Note for myself http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837388
REGEDIT:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USRE\Software\Microsoft\Office\<xx_version>\Outlook\Security
Remove block? add new string value Level1Remove where the value are file extensions separate by ; eg: .mdb; .rar
Try to block attachment? add new string value Level1Add instead.
Have fun !
