SharePoint 2007 Flash Animation Web Part
2007-06-11 07:25:00
Hi everyone, I've seen that many people are using HTML content web part for displaying Flash animation, I don't recommend this approach for many reasons, one of them being you won't tell your client to edit HTML code for changing Flash properties; so it is better to have a dedicated web part for rendering Flash animation, I've developed a simple one, here is the code: using System;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebPart s;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Xml.Serialization; using Microsoft.SharePoint;using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls;using Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages;using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls; namespace FlashWebPart{ [Guid("f04fa49d-1342-4c7d-904a-c43ebc942f 39")] [XmlRoot(Namespace = "FlashWebPart")] public class FlashWebPart : Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPart &nb...

Customizing SharePoint 2007 Navigation Menu
2007-06-10 20:51:00
If you are a WCM developer, then you will be in need to customize the default SharePoint menu control. This new feature in MOSS 2007 is great and it allows for suitable level of customization, but unfortunately, this level is not enough for such portal which I?m involved in these days. I?ve decided to customize the default menu instead of developing new control. To realize the problem suppose that you want your menu to have the following structure: Site1 Site2 Site3 Site4 ?.. Site1Child1 . Site1Child2 . Site1Child3? As you see, every static item have its own style, also it should have it is own hover style, and dynamic items should appear horizontally in case of mouse over the static item.If you edited your master page by sharepoint designer, you will notice that the default SharePoint menu allows you to define only one class for all static items, so we need to edit the static menu template, but even so, the template allows you only to edit...

2007-05-07 18:11:00
If Micro soft and Yahoo merge Google may have to worry about its hold on the consumer search and online advertising markets. Jon Brodkin, NetworkWorld The potential of a Microsoft-Yahoo blockbuster deal probably doesn't have rivals at Google shaking in their boots just yet, but if a merger comes to fruition Google may have to worry about its hold on the consumer search and online advertising markets. Google has performed well in creating and acquiring interesting technology with audience and advertiser reach, says Yankee Group analyst Jennifer Simpson, while noting Google's purchase of YouTube and Internet advertising company DoubleClick.

Microsoft reveals Dynamic Language Runtime for .NET (DLR)
2007-05-02 13:12:00
Ryan Paul: Micro soft has unveiled a new Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) layer for the .NET development platform. Designed to simplify the process of bringing support for additional dynamic languages to .NET, the Dynamic Language Runtime is largely based on lessons learned from developing IronPython, an implementation of the Python programming language that runs on .NET's Common Language Runtime (CLR). Microsoft developers have already been able to build implementations of Python, Ruby, Javascript, and Visual Basic that can run on the DLR, and the company hopes that releasing the DLR infrastructure under a highly-permissive BSD-style Shared Source license will entice independent developers to add support for other languages as well. Since the DLR acts as a layer on top of the CLR, dynamic languages that leverage the DLR will have full access to .NET programming libraries written in other languages like C#. Full story: here
