You must have the TFS Power Tools installed: Team Foundation Server Power Tools September 2010

In the command prompt or run dialog, you execute: tfpt searchcs

This will bring up a very handy dialog, allowing you to set some filters, including the check-in notes.

Something did change in this RC however: the text-shadow property just gets ignored.
In the beta, text with text-shadow on it, looked really weird. So it’s actually better in the RC now.

Is there still hope?

I’m giving up hope that the final release of IE9 will support text-shadow.
If you look at the CSS Compatibility and Internet Explorer page (scroll down to Font and Text – CSS3), it’s pretty clear: ‘No‘.

The text-shadow is part of CSS3. Sure, CSS3 is still in draft (probably for many more years), but that doesn’t stop the Chrome, Firefox, Opera, .. dev teams from implementing.
Maybe the IE dev team hasn’t found a way to make it look good?

Addendum (couple of hours later)

• More bad news - “Internet Explorer does not support any of the CSS3 multi-column layout properties.”
  Microsoft prevents us from using this very handy CSS3 feature. I’m sure there’ll be a jQuery plugin for it.
• Some goods news – IE9 will have support form ‘transform’, be it in the form of -ms-transform.

• Firefox 4 (beta 6 at this time)
• Chrome 6 (or 7… who can keep count here?)
• Safari 5
• and IE9, which was recently released as a beta and I saw  fully demoed at Microsoft’s Remix event last week

It’s great to be able to use CSS3. Saves a lot of work on having to create a bunch of images for rounded corners in all sorts of dimensions and colors, but also new images for buttons with different text. Now I rely on the new CSS3 properties like background gradients, rounded corners and text shadow.
IE9 is doing a very good job at all this. My application is running fast thanks to the new javascript engine. But there is one thing that looked fishy.

The new CSS3 text-shadow property has not been implemented in IE9 beta.

I found an interesting page on CSS Compatibility and Internet Explorer in which it’s clear that this feature has not been implemented yet by the dev team.
However, it looks like the pixels that are supposed to be the shadow are actually just take the color of the text. This makes it look like the font weight is set to bold.
As far as I know, the text-shadow property is an official CSS3 property, so I’m guessing it will be available in a next release.

PS: If you’re viewing this blog in IE9 beta, you’ll might also miss out on the text shadow I’m using in the current theme of this WordPress blog. Unless I changed my theme again…

You need to do it in 3 steps:

First one is defining in which filegroup when files need to be stored. You define your filegroup on database level.

ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable
  SET (FILESTREAM_ON = FileStreamGroup)

Next you create a row guid column

ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable
  ALTER COLUMN GuidFieldAsPK ADD ROWGUIDCOL

Finally you add the file

ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable
  ADD YourNewFileStreamField varbinary(max) FILESTREAM NOT NULL

Nathan de Vries wrote it down. To my surprise there seems to be a very cool (enterprise) iPhone configuration utility.

If you’ve got questions, I’ll try to answer them. But read through the whole thing first.

System.InvalidOperationException:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    

The reason for this is that the provider does not have a 64-bit version and the application wasn’t compiled for a specified version. So you just need to build it for x86 specifically.

My code is pretty basic:

Dim z As New Microsoft.DeepZoomTools.ImageCreator()
z.ImageQuality = 0.95
z.MaxLevel = 12
z.Create(ZoomImage.FullName, XmlFile)

Couldn’t be the code right, must be the file. So I thought it had something to do with the metadata in the image.
When I used photoshop to copy the content om the image in a new canvas and process that new file, it worked perfectly.

Turns out it was the metadata in the file and an windows update could fix this. The solution can be found at this page.

Cannot create an instance of the abstract class or interface 'ConsoleApplication1.Mappoint.FindServiceSoap'
 

The solution is pretty simple – once you realize what you’ve done wrong.
You most likely chose to “Add Service Reference“.
But that only works well with WCF services.
If you want to add a regular Web Service you need to click the “Advanced” button and then the “Add Web Reference” button.

I’ve got a page which renders X (to make it abstract) in IE8 on one PC and renders Y on another PC.
The page contains the X-UA-Compatible tag, so you would think that it’s not an IE8 problem, but something different.

After digging – the website was in the Compatibility View list on one PC and not on the other.

Compatibility View Button in IE8 for rendering in IE7

Adding the X-UA-Compatible tag to the page (and the whole site actually) hides the button to turn on/off the Compatibility View next to the refresh button.
It has to be done through the menu, but no normal user does that I guess, only developers.

There is no button here - but you can still add or remove the website from the menu.

So if you turned on Compatibility View before the meta tag was added, you get different rendering compared to never having turned on Compatibility View.

I was to believe that the meta tag forced the Compatibility View, but apparently it does something else here.

The thing rendered was an iFrame with the Fancybox plugin for jQuery – I did found a workaround.
