• Event handler solution: TestProjectEventHandlers.
• Test application for the Queue System: UsingQueueSystem shows an example of when to wait for the queue, and when you don’t need to wait.

• New PSI code samples include complete WCF-based solutions for the following events: ProjectEventReceiver: OnCreating, OnCreated, OnSaved. Other new solutions show the use of the following PSI methods: QueueDeleteProjects, CreateEventHandlerAssociations, UpdateEventHandlerAssociations, ReadEventHandlerAssociationsForEvent, using the ReadResources and ReadResource methods to get the RBS custom field, creating a changeXml parameter for a different resource with the UpdateStatus method, and using SubmitStatusForResource and ReadStatusForResource.

Today marks the end of a journey that started in January 2004, when I have joined the EMEA Visual Studio team in Microsoft Customer Service and Support. Over the last seven and a half years I have helped customers with .NET Framework, Visual Studio, and Team Foundation Server issues but time has come for me to move on to new challenges. I had the opportunity to support Team Foundation Server since its launch, and see the product mature into an awesome product that Team Foundation Server 2010 is today…(read more)

I was thinking of some Summer learning opportunities that might interest some of my developer friends. You can try Windows Azure at no cost using the CODE webcastpass and deploy your first app in as little as 30 minutes. So here are some ideas, in no particular order:

1. My Customers Are Using iPhone/Android, But I’m a Microsoft Guy. Now What?: In this session you’ll learn how to scale iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms using the Windows Azure platform.

2. Tap the Cloud For Your ASP.NET apps: Say you need more horsepower today, less tomorrow. Hear how Brian Prince focuses on the app, not the infrastructure.

3. Migrate invaluable data to the cloud: Few things have as much value in the digital age as good old data. Unfortunately, it is often scattered and not necessarily running on infrastructure that’s up to date. Learn how to solve 2 issues by putting your data up in the cloud.

4. Your SharePoint Practice via the Cloud: SharePoint becomes a much bigger business and technical opportunity when married with the cloud. Learn more from resident expert Mike Benkovitch.

5. Your SharePoint Practice via the Cloud: SharePoint becomes a much bigger business and technical opportunity when married with the cloud. Learn more from resident expert Mike Benkovitch.

6. Create the Next Big App: Webcast Series: Start from a scenario relevant to you – mobile and Sharepoint apps, Facebook promos, Access databases, and see how cloud addresses relevant gaps.

7. Combining Public and Private Clouds into Useful Hybrids: – Watch David Chou’s TechEd session about the widely discussed “hybrid” approach – solutions spanning from on-premise into the cloud.

8. Don’t Miss the Azure Security Essentials Series: Anyone serious about the cloud will “talk security” pretty quickly. Here’s terrific resources for Developers and Decision Makers.

Enjoy,

It’s finally here! The first long weekend of the summer! Looks like all of the stars aligned, giving us an amazing opportunity to spend three whole days ramping up on Windows Phone 7 Mango.

Yesterday, Brandon Watson of the Windows Phone team announced the availability of the Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta 2 on the Windows Phone Developer Blog. There’s lots of new features to play with in this release and some new goodies as well. Check out the release notes for a complete listing. To top the news of the release of the new tools, the Mango OS can now be put on your retail Windows Phone 7 device so that you can test out features like fast app resume, updated Live Tiles, motion sensor, live agents, sockets, background audio, and raw camera access on your retail Windows Phone 7 device.

I mentioned that the stars aligned – well that’s not just because the tools were released or that you can now update your phone. It’s actually that you can do all of that AND have Windows Phone 7 expert and Microsoft MVP Mark Arteaga (@MarkArteaga) to guide you through exploring these really cool updates!

Holey Moley, this is big!  It’s monstrous big, check out this article at Microsoft Research:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/mobisys2011-062811.aspx

Totally cool and easy to read article.  You can bet that I am going to be blogging the heck out this technology.

You might want to read the paper at:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/sagarwal/mobisys2011.pdf

In fact, the paper is easy to read, so if you are a student who is hanging around the house over the summer, and your parents are bugging you to do stuff, read this article, write up a little report and present it to them.  Then play some xbox games.

Just to remind myself, the list of claim types and their encodings are listed here at the bottom.

Where for example:

i:0#.w|contoso\scicoria

‘i’ = identity, could be ‘c’ for others

# == SPClaimTypes.UserLogonName

. == Microsoft.IdentityModel.Claims.ClaimValueTypes.String

Table for reference:
