摘要:  第一个XAML程序颇费了一番周折: Longhorn SDK安装在E:盘，但不知怎地Xamlc.exe被孤琳琳的装在C:下面。费了半天时间才把它挖出来。Longhorn SDK文档里面似乎也完全没有提到Xamlc.exe。原本以为MSBuild会在内部调用XamlC.exe，结果正好相反，Xamlc只不过是使用缺省XAML Project Build的方法调用MSBuild类库。真正的XAML -> BAML编译器似乎只在类库当中存在(MS.Internal.MarkupCompiler, PresentationFramework)。   编译后的Baml文件会在Runtime使用Serialization的方式调入内存，然后用System.Windows.Serialization.Parser解释执行。总觉得这样的工作模式有点诡异：如果Xaml文件里面有个Property的设置不对，Compiler不能及时发现问题，而是Runtime Exception。  比如：<Button DockPanel.Dock=”Center” ...>  Center其实不是一个有效的Dock option，但是这个Xaml照样可以编译成Baml文件。只有在Load/Parse Baml文件的时候，程序才会检查到错误并且throw一个Exception。...[阅读全文]

摘要:  在Virtual PC上安装Longhorn真的是折磨，安装到“硬件检测”的时候几乎要Cancel了。Google了一下，查到不少关于PDC Release在Virtual PC上安装耗时长的帖子（有说需要5-8个小时）。但是没有关于新的WinHEC Release安装的信息。看来只好留着安装程序，明天再来看了。  “Please wait while Setup detects your computer's hardware.           This can take up to 10 minutes.“   That is if 1 Longhorn Minute = 10 Human Minute. ...[阅读全文]

摘要: 在WinHEC上Microsoft发布了Devices Profile for Web Services，Devices Profile主要是为Network-Enabled UPnP设备，比如网络打印机、数码相机等等提供一个统一的基于WebServices的交互协议族，包括基本消息传送(WS-Addressing，MOTM)、设备发现(WS-Discovery)、元数据交换(WS-MetaDataTransfer、WS-Policy)、事件服务(WS-Eventing)和安全(WS-Security)。  Devices Profile不提供针对具体应用的协议标准，这些需要具体应用领域的生产商和标准组织来制定。...[阅读全文]
