Split a XAP file up

Sometimes a silverlight file (*.xap) gets to be large. The larger the file, the longer it takes to load in your browser. One of my co-workers suggested splitting it up into smaller modules and loading them as needed to make the wait time in the initial load shorter.  The following link tells how to do that!

Programmatically Create a Shortcut and Run It As Administrator

I've recently ran into major problems getting a *.bat (DOS Batch) file generated on-the-fly by a web service I wrote to call another program on the same computer that is running the web service. The *.bat file generates a *.rsp file containing a bunch of input parameters and passes it to the program I want to run. On Windows XP there was no problem but on windows 7, the *.bat files needs more special commission. It didn't even matter that I was signed in as an administrator. The Bat file is not able to run properly. Then I discovered if I run the *.bat file "as administrator" by right-click on the *.bat file in windows Explorer the *.bat file runs just as I intended. Somehow I had to get my web service to run the *.bat file "as administrator". This was much more difficult to find an answer than I thought. I found out that if I create a short-cut to the *.bat file and run that shortcut "as administrator" it would work perfectly. Fortunately, it's possible to programmatically to both create the shortcut on the fly and set "the run Administrator" flag for the shortcut from my web service. My solution is based on the following article:

How to set “Run as administrator” flag on shortcut created by MSI installer

Here is the code, I use.

        'Create Shortcuts
        Dim VbsObj As Object
        VbsObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        Dim MyShortcut As Object
        MyShortcut = VbsObj.CreateShortcut(pathe2file & "\GetFVSstand" & ".lnk")
        MyShortcut.TargetPath = pathe2file & "\GetFVSstand.bat"
        MyShortcut.WorkingDirectory = pathe2file

        MyShortcut.Save()

        Dim ret As Integer
        ret = fSetRunAsOnLNK(pathe2file & "\GetFVSstand" & ".lnk")

      Public Function fSetRunAsOnLNK(ByVal sInputLNK As String)
        Dim fso As Object, wshShell, oFile, iSize, aInput(), ts, i
        fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
        If Not fso.FileExists(sInputLNK) Then fSetRunAsOnLNK = 114017 : Exit Function
        oFile = fso.GetFile(sInputLNK)
        iSize = oFile.Size
        ReDim aInput(iSize)
        ts = oFile.OpenAsTextStream()
        i = 0
        Do While Not ts.AtEndOfStream
            aInput(i) = ts.Read(1)
            i = i + 1
        Loop
        ts.Close()
        If UBound(aInput) < 50 Then fSetRunAsOnLNK = 114038 : Exit Function
        If (Asc(aInput(21)) And 32) = 0 Then
            aInput(21) = Chr(Asc(aInput(21)) + 32)
        Else
            fSetRunAsOnLNK = 99 : Exit Function
        End If
        fso.CopyFile(sInputLNK, wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%\" & oFile.Name & "." & Hour(Now()) & "-" & Minute(Now()) & "-" & Second(Now())))
        On Error Resume Next
        ts = fso.CreateTextFile(sInputLNK, True)
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then fSetRunAsOnLNK = Err.Number : Exit Function
        ts.Write(Join(aInput, ""))
        If Err.Number <> 0 Then fSetRunAsOnLNK = Err.Number : Exit Function
        ts.Close()
        fSetRunAsOnLNK = 0
    End Function

Where path2file is the path to the shortcut.

Playing Flash Files (SWF) in C# Form - CodeProject

Now this is an article that will come in handy!

Maybe sometimes you want to play a shockwave flash file (.swf format) in your C# or VB Visual Studio form. There are many ways to do it, but the easiest way is using its component which is available for use. In this tip for beginners, we will review how to play a shockwave file (.SWF) in our Visual Studio form with the easiest and fastest way by using Shockwave flash object component.

This component is located at %systemroot%\system32\macromed\flash9c.ocx and if you can't find it, you must install the latest version of Adobe Macromedia Flash Player. With this component, you can play all .swf files in order to show them in your projects and not reference which kind of flash file you use (a flash game, a flash banner or something else).

Finite Element programming in Julia - CodeProject

Illustration of the Finite element method, the computed solution. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Intro

A simple finite element code in Julia for solving the 2D Poisson equation over the unit square is presented in this article. The code uses only Julia's standard library and thus does not have any external dependencies. It solves the partial differential equation u,xx + u,yy = -6 over the unit square with the Dirichlet boundary condition u = 1 + x^2 + 2y^2 on the sides of the unit square. The code can however be easily modified to study other instances of the Poisson equation. The unit square is discretized with linear triangular finite elements and the stiffness matrix and load vectors are calculated using a one-point quadrature rule.

 Intro to Article

We know that a software prerequisite is that if it is being used all over the world, it must have a multi-language interface because not everyone speaks English. The problem is, how does one create a multi-language software which can edit and add other languages easily?
This article presents a solution to solving this problem using C# and Visual Studio 2008.
First we will present how to create an application in Vietnamese and English. Then we will present the procedure to add other languages (for instance, French).

 Introduction to Article

Hello this is a 3D solar system implementation with OpenGL and C#. I tried to keep it simple because this demo it’s only for educational purposes. It contains the sun, the planets, our moon, the planet’s orbit and some stars. It is programmed in Visual Studio 2008 and I have upgraded it to Visual Studio 2010 without any kind of issue.  I used for this demo the TAO namespace which it’s an interop between the OpenGL dll and the .NET Framework. I also used Shadowengine, a small graphic framework developed by me to get rid you of the tedium of hard coding the loading of textures, the initialization of the graphic context among others.
