How-to: Find API References Alphabetically

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:12:29 GMT

Did you know that you can search for APIs alphabetically in the Windows SDK Documentation? You can search the online SDK Documents on MSDN.

This topic has the unlikely name of “Platform Information” in the SDK documents (don’t ask me why). Although it’s not particularly well-named, it’s a handy way to find that API reference if you can remember the API name, or close to it. Search by ‘Managed’, ‘Win32 and Com’ or ‘All’.

Corner Case: Managed Samples in SDK Docs Unavailable

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:17:07 GMT

This article applies to the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5, released February, 2008, and the earlier Windows SDK for Windows Vista Update, released February, 2007.

blogs.msdn.com/karinm/archive/2008/02/20/corner-case-managed-samples-in-sdk-docs-unavailable.aspx

This issue occurs very rarely, but if you’ve experienced this you would probably like an explanation. In certain circumstances, deselecting the .NET Framework Documentation feature during SDK setup may cause the managed samples in the documents to be unavailable. You may be thinking, “if I deselect the documents I wouldn’t expect to get any documents, samples or otherwise.” That sounds reasonable, but SDK setup allows you to select only the .NET Framework documents that contain managed samples by clicking certain nodes.

Pablo Galiano's StickyNotes Sample

blogs.msdn.com/karinm/archive/2008/02/01/stickynotes-sample-on-msdn-code-gallery.aspx

Pablo Galiano has created a wonderful sample that provides StickyNotes capabilities to Visual Studio 2008. With StickyNotes and Visual Studio 2008, you can save custom notes associated with a particular project for reminders as bugs to fix, features to add, areas to test, etc. Pablo has posted his new sample to the new MSDN Code Gallery, announced this week by Soma Somasegar. This new developer portal is a quick place to get (and share) code snippets, samples, sample applications, and other great resources.
Pablo’s sample UI is based on WPF and it mimics the iphone Notes application. StickyNotes is a Visual Studio package that was created and distributed as a package using the VS SDK. StickyNotes can be downloaded from the new MSDN Code Gallery site at code.msdn.microsoft.com/StickyNotes
Pablo’s sample shows many VSX assets like:
• Hosting a WPF toolwindow
• Selection events
• ProjectDocument events
• ProjectItem events
• RDT events
• Project persistence

HEROES happen {here} comic

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:10:54 GMT

Team mate Jason Sacks is doing that comic book thing again. He’s working on a joint Microsoft/Seagate project to venerate developers and IT professionals in a “Heros Happen Here” comic strip that’s being published daily. This is part of the community-driven HEROES happen {here} marketing campaign that honors the everyday heroes in our techie-world. It’s cool – share your picture and story with the world.

If you’re a comic maniac like Jason, you can sign up for the HHH comic strip RSS feed to receive the comic every day. I’m not a big comic fan (shhhh, don’t tell Jason) but anyone would appreciate the work and creativity involved. The What goes into making a comic series post on the HHH blog shows a bit of what’s involved. Very clever.

Vista in Terminator?

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 05:10:14 GMT

Did “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” contain a 90 second placement ad for Windows Vista, or did John Connor just feel the Vista love? Long Zhen’s post www.istartedsomething.com/20080115/terminator-chronicles-john-connor-windows-vista/ included some high res screen captures from Rafael Rivera that sure look like a Vista ad… but with some twists that have people wondering. blogs.msdn.com/karinm/default.aspx

Mommy, Why is there a Server in the House?

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:16:22 GMT

"Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?" is a children's book dedicated to "Helping Your Child Understand the Stay-At-Home Server." This is a breath of fresh air from our marketing team. I mean, anything that makes the Gizmodo team “crap our pants with laughter” is a good thing, right? The Windows Home Server marketing videos are a scream.

Clinton and Balmer

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 06:58:22 GMT

Bill Clinton is an inspiring speaker that makes you feel good about America and the world as he talks of the power each and every person has to make a difference. His passion for giving and civic duty is infectious and the crowd at the Microsoft Conference Center this morning was alternately awed and animated by his pro-giving speech that was the perfect wrap up to the Microsoft Giving Campaign. We have raised just over $72 million dollars so far this year, with close to 61% of our employees participating.

Clinton focused on the virtues of volunteering time, money, ideas, skills and “things” to worthy causes and steered fairly clear of politics, except for a couple of amusing references to his potential role as a Presidential spouse. He talked a lot about his book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World. Clinton believes that that stopping global warming depends on demonstrating that it makes economic sense, which he believes wholeheartedly. He talked of climate change as a great economic opportunity. "We will not get a global agreement on climate change unless you can prove this is not a burden," he said. "This is the greatest opportunity we have had in our lifetimes." blogs.msdn.com/karinm/archive/2007/11/03/bill-clinton-at-microsoft-what-an-inspiration.aspx

Hillary Rodham Clinton at Microsoft

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 06:58:22 GMT

What a time I’m having with the lineup of MS Political Action Committee (MSPAC) speakers this election year! It was a wonderful treat to join Hillary Rodham Clinton at the beginning of the Microsoft Women’s Leadership and Development Conference on 10/18. She is a powerful speaker and woman and I surprised at how incredibly likeable and real she is.

anemone skin for Windows Media Player

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 02:10:18 GMT

It’s fun to change the look of Windows Media Player with the new batch of Skins released today or grab one from the Skins Factory, but why settle for someone else’s idea of cool when it’s so easy to make your own? Skins are just collections of art files, organized by a text file that tells WMP how to use the files to display a skin. One reason skins are easy to create is that you can look at the individual pieces of art and the source code for any skin and see how the skin is put together.

How to: Add 64-bit support to .vcproj files

How to: Add 64-bit support to .vcproj files
Have you found a great sample in the Windows SDK but wish it could target 64-bit platforms? Not all of our samples have 64-bit support, but it’s quick and easy to configure the sample yourself using the project configurations available in the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
To develop 64-bit applications you must install one or both of the Visual C++ 64-bit compilers. Without these compilers on your dev machine, 64-bit project configurations will not be available in the IDE. See Installing Visual Studio 64-bit Components on MSDN for more about this.

First, I describe how to change the active project configuration to target 64-bit platforms using the Visual Studio IDE. Next, I describe how to migrate Win32 project settings into a 64-bit project configuration.
