Azure tools

Andrei Ignat — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 04:48:00 +0000

Azure storage Explorer : http://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/ – like in VS , but simpler and cleaner

Windows Azure ASP.NET Providers Sample : http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/Windows-Azure-ASPNET-03d5dc14 – utils for fast membership and roles. Small problem on local.

More samples here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazure/

And that will be all , after reading the documentation and understanding the concepts ( for example,if you understand the session problem in azure, then you will find a Session provider in the samples and use it)

Sometimes it’s difficult

Andrei Ignat — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:52:00 +0000

I am a good contributor(+moderator) at www.asp.net forums ( and I love MVC ). Sometimes it’s very difficult to stay calm . Let’s make an example:

[new programmer first post]

Hi I am new in ASP.NET mvc 3

I want to insert/modify collection on the page without refresh.

[ code for database first]

Now on create product View I want to add a composite in IList Composites collection.

[My answer]

2 things here:
Modify a collection in MVC : http://haacked.com/archive/2008/10/23/model-binding-to-a-list.aspx

Send via ajax : http://bit.ly/mvc_ajax_jquery

[new programmer answer after 4 ( FOUR!) minutes]

Hi ignatandrei

Thanks for the reply.

But I have no idea how to implement this thing.

can you give me a small example regarding this.

I have tried many times but not successed.

[My answer]

quoting “I have no idea how to implement this thing” from new programmer

What thing of the 2 I have shown you ?
More, I admire your fast reading if you read 2 tutorials(max 6 minutes) so fast , download codes , reproduce and decide that you do not understand.

[new programmer]

Hello ignatandrei

I am sorry… The links which you have posted was not underlined/highlighted; so that’s why I thought it were like suggentions. because of that misunderstanding I replied you back for demo application.

And then the usual combination of “ I am getting an error” – although my tutorial it handles errors – both from server side and communication side

However, when someone asks for help it is good to READ what other said – even it was suggestions…

And , as I say, sometimes it is difficult to stay calm. What have you answered?

Sample Kinect application

Andrei Ignat — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 04:38:00 +0000

Made my first application for Kinect. It was just a combination of multiple other source code + EF4.3 for SqlServer Compact 4.0 ( to can have a database without pain of installing).

As learning:

The audio recognition does not work very well.
It was fun to write
Do not make an action for each joint movement – it is overwhelming for Kinect
If you approach Kinect device perpendicular ( such as line of shoulders is perpendicular to Kinect) it does not recognize you.

The application makes a simple thing:

You can use them to photo the thiefs that comes after you left the house.
Just press “Capture” (or make a circle with the right hand) and after a timeout( set in option) the application will register, via Kinect, any new human move.It will save to the
AppData\Roaming\Pictures and, if configured , to a website ( more details later this month).

Download from here if you have a Kinect device
