Introduction to IIS 7.0 Architecture - CodeProject
This Article looks into the end-to-end request processing architecture in IIS 7.0.IIS 7.0 has been completely redesigned in comparison with the previous versions. I will begin with the core IIS 7.0 components and their role in the processing of an HTTP request.
I will then look at how a request is executed, focusing on the integrated request processing pipeline and core Web server modularity

Gadget Maker IDE - CodeProject
I have created an IDE using Visual C# 2010 (Express Edition) that automates the process of creating a Windows Vista Gadget. This IDE has the common features found in an IDE, for example, editing the HTML/JavaScript code using an editor, editing the gadget manifest using a GUI interface, inserting generic code and building the gadget. I have used SharpZipLib, a free C# compression library to compress the gadget files.

Deploying A Web Service
Image via WikipediaFor the past several months I've been working on a .Net program in Silverlight that employs a web service. IT took some time but I did make it work in Visual Studio 2010. The problem came when I wanted to deploy it to web server. It refused to work. The Silverlight App had the ASP.Net debugging activated and my webservice didn't so I had to add the following line to just before my web service's class instantiation:And I had to make sure that the url in the ServiceReference.ClientConfig file and the configuration for the web service match the url for the web service *.svc file on the web server. I found this to be a problem when it came comes to trying to run the projects from inside Visual Studio 2010, I have to switch the url to match the local server. I also found out that I had to change the code for calling the web service.
Uri address = new Uri(Application.Current.Host.Source, "../YourService.svc"); // this url will work both in dev and after deploy.You can read the links I used to come up with this:
var webService = new YourWebService.YourWebServiceClient("YourServiceEndPointName", address.AbsolutePath);

How to flush a storage volume's the file cache, lock and dismount it and eject the media - CodeProject
Ejecting a media is well known for CD/DVD drives. Here we get a physical ejection. But also ZIP/JAZ drives and card readers (drives with a removable media) support ejection and since they are not read only it is required to dismount their file system before ejection to prevent loss of data.

How to Create a Simple Natural Interaction (NI) App. - CodeProject
OpenNI is an easy and friendly platform, used for Natural Interaction (NI) programming to create NI Apps.
This article contains a short description for a beginner NI programmer on how to create a simple “Hello World” NI App.
Natural Interaction (NI) refers to a concept whereby Human-device interaction is based on human senses, mostly focused on visual and auditory senses. NITE™ by PrimeSense, is the middleware that perceives the world in 3D based on depth images, and translates these perceptions into meaningful data in the same way that people do. NITE acts as the perception engine that comprehends user interaction within their surroundings and includes both computer vision algorithms.

XAMLFinance – A Cross-platform WPF, Silverlight & WP7 Application - CodeProject
This article describes the development of XAML Finance, a cross-platform application which works on the desktop, using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), on the web, using Silverlight and on Windows Phone 7 (WP7). My aim in writing this article is to highlight how the XAML based technologies used for desktop, web and mobile allow you to share large quantities of code and cost-effectively distribute your application on a range of devices.

UI Automation in Silverlight - Simulating User Interactions - gaisen - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
Image via WikipediaIntroduction to articleI was recently tasked with automating Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in our immediate group. Some tools out there provide limited assistance in this regard; for example, you can write unit tests against your Silverlight controls for in-proc testing. You can read more about that approach here: http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/03/31/silverlight2-unit-testing/

Installing Oracle 11g XE (Express Edition) - CodeProject
Oracle 11g XE is a free edition of Oracle database which supports most of the functionality of Standard edition. 11g XE is available (at least) for Windows and Linux.
As with all free versions of databases, also XE has limitations:
- The maximum database size is 11 GB
- The maximum amount of RAM XE can use is 1 GB
- Only one instance of Oracle XE can be installed on a single computer
- XE uses only a single CPU so it does not distribute operations between several CPU’s

Play AVI files in Silverlight 5 using MediaElement and MediaStreamSource - P/Invoke - CodeProject
Silverlight 4 did not have P/Invoke support for calling native functions; Silverlight 5 does (see Pete Brown's blog for more details http://10rem.net/blog/2011/09/01/silverlight-5-rc-now-available). Our objectives for this HowTo article is no different from my previous article with almost exactly the same Title. That article dealt with COM support. It is important to go through that article first - most of the steps covered there won't be covered here (CustomMediaStreamSource.aspx).
So in short, just as the previous article, this HowTo article tries to demostrate the power of the MediaElement and MediaStreamSource classes with P/Invoke support to call native code to play an AVI video.
