I'll keep a page here to post .mp3 downloads of my flute playing.  This is my 8th week of playing the Native American flute but it does seem to be a rather natural thing for me to do.  It occupies my time and it makes me feel good.

First I have to post a song from my teacher.  He is a certified Native American Shaman Cherokee, Quapaw branch.

Visual Studio 2010 support for JQuery  extends to providing  intellisense  when working with this library.  Visual Studio 2010 is able to use the comments contained on a special version of the JQuery library in order to populate the intellisense window as for the standard .NET classes. To use this feature, all you need to do is to replace the .min suffix with the –vsdoc suffix on the ScriptReference declaration of the ScriptManager:

Remember to revert the –vsdoc with the .min suffix when your site will be released. This will increase the site speed by reducing the quantity of JavaScript code that the client had to download. If the .min version is a JavaScript file that occupies 69 KB on disk, the –vsdoc version has length given by 229 KB.

SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "[YOUR CAML QUERY HERE]";
query.Joins = "[YOUR JOIN CAML HERE (See above for example)]";
query.ViewFields = "[SAME AS BEFORE]";

SPListItemCollection items = myList.GetItems(query);

Wow. Never new this existed until today. The Windows API Code Pack provides a source code library that can be used to access some features of Windows 7 and Windows Vista from managed code. These Windows features are not available to developers today in the .NET Framework.

Here is a listing of the features included in the API code Pack:

• Windows 7 Taskbar
  • Jump Lists, Icon Overlay, Progress Bar, Tabbed Thumbnails, and Thumbnail Toolbars
• Windows Shell
  • Windows 7 Libraries
  • Windows Shell Search API support
  • Explorer Browser Control
  • A hierarchy of Shell Namespace entities
  • Windows Shell property system
  • Drag and Drop for Shell Objects
  • Windows Vista and WIdnows 7 Common File Dialogs, including custom controls
  • Know Folders and non-file system containers
• DirectX
  • Direct3D 11.0, Direct3D 10.1/10.0, DXGI 1.0/1.1, Direct2D 1.0, DirectWrite, WIndows Imaging Component (WIC) APIs
• Windows Vista and Widnows 7 Task Dialogs
• Sensor Platform APIs
• Extended Lingquistic Services APIs
• Power Management APIs
• Application Restart and RecoveryAPIs
• Command Link control and System definded shell icons

The setup and install is a bit different.  The API comes as one large solution that needs to be compiled and then the .dll's pulled from the projects bin folder for use.

Here is an easy way to display the public key token of a signed assembly from within Visual Studio.

In Visual Studio choose Tools from the tool bar then choose External Tools.  

A new dialog box will appear.  Click the Add button and fill the fields below:

Title: Get &PublicKeyToken
Command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\sn.exe
Argumnets: -Tp $(TargetPath)

Place a check mark in the Use Output window option.

To Test:

Sign your assembly, then goto Tools and you will find your Get PublicKeyToken available in the list.  The public key tolken will now print to the Output window.

Printed Example:

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility Version 3.5.30729.1

Public key is
