SCREENCAST: Adding Closed Captioning to video using Silverlight, ASP.NET AJAX, WCF and an external data source

Public Sector Developer Weblog : AJAX — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 19:31:54 GMT

In my previous Silverlight Closed Captioning screencast here , I showed you how to use Expression Encoder to import Closed Captioning information to produce a solution without writing a line of code. What if you store your Closed Captioning information in an external data source (database, SAMI file, XML file, etc.) and want to keep it there? Do you have to reprocess all of your videos using Expression Encoder? Of course not, but you do have to write some code:). In this screencast, I show you how to use Silverlight, ASP.NET AJAX, and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to solve this problem. You can view the screencast here . To get the sample code, just click the link below: The sample requires Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 or later. -...(read more)

.NET Client Application Services

Brad Abrams : AJAX — Thu, 24 May 2007 03:40:00 GMT

One of my favorite features in Orcas is the ability to leverage the ASP.NET Application services from any client application (ASP.NET, Ajax, WinForms, WPF, or even Silverlight!).. This allows you to do things like share a common membership, role management and profiles across a number of presentation tears. It also enables very easy roaming user state... Check out how easy it is to use the profile store... here I am using Windows Authentication, but of course you can use forms or your own system just as well. In fact any system can be rolled into the ASP.NET Auth system (there is a whole book on the subject ). Part 1: Create the web site. 1. In Orcas Beta1, Create a new ASP.NET Web Application 2. Fill in the profile section of the web.config...(read more)
