When we implemented claim based authorization in LitwareHR, we had to write a lot of code and play with non-trivial configurations (LitwarehR includes 2 STS and all the supporting infrastructure for securing the web services and the callers to them). Not being a security expert myself, I found the “theory” behind this amazingly simple and powerful, but the “practice” quite complex. The good news is that all this just got much easier with the release of “Zermatt”: “Zermatt” is a .NET developer framework and SDK that helps developers build claims-aware applications to address today’s application security requirements using a simplified model that is open and extensible, can improve security, and boosts productivity for developers. Developers...

When I was working the update for my Ajax demo , I needed to create thumb nail from a director of photos. There are tons of tools out there to do this, but I thought I'd share the very simple code I used. It takes all the jpgs in the root path and creates 160x120 thumbnails of them. It also copies the original photo into fullpath. namespace ThumbNailer { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { string rootPath = @"C:\Users\brada\Desktop\ForDemo" ; string thumbPath = Path .Combine(rootPath, "Thumb" ); if ( Directory .Exists(thumbPath)) DirectoryDelete(thumbPath); Directory .CreateDirectory(thumbPath); int imageNumber = 0; foreach ( string s in Directory .GetFiles(rootPath, "*.jpg"...

I've finally gotten the Silverlight Control tutorial sample updated for Silverlight 2 Beta 2. There have been some non-trivial changes to how controls are written between Beta 1 and Beta 2. My goals were to do more than a straight port. I wanted to take advantage of some of these changes as an example of how to use the new functionality, and I wanted to address some feedback I've gotten from the original post. Some of the ways I chose to do things in the original post were overly complicated, and I took this opportunity to streamline things a bit. The result is the same functionality with a lot less code. The major change centers around the Visual State Manager. When my team and I first started working with Silverlight, we found the...
