Error updating JScript IntelliSense: Object doesn’t support this property or method @ 2139:1

May 8th, 2009 Patrick 1 comment

Today I am trying out JQuery on Visual Studio 2008 for the first time. I go to the website at www.jquery.com and downloaded the library as well as the document for Visual Studio.

So I imported the JQuery library into my VS project

image

But when I want to try to the intellisense, I notice it is not working!! It should be able to recognize the famous $!!

image

Then I realize at the bottom of the VS IDE, there is an error message -

Warning    1    Error updating JScript IntelliSense: D:\workspace\Projects\JQuerySample\JQuerySample\scripts\jquery-1.3.2.js: Object doesn’t support this property or method @ 2139:1    D:\workspace\Projects\JQuerySample\JQuerySample\Default.aspx    1    1    JQuerySample

image

But this is not a bug inside the JQuery library itself. So I went back to scottgu’s blog post about on JQuery I notice something very difference with his library (besides the fact that he is using version 1.2.6).

I notice mine has got an extra number 2 at the end of vsdoc there. So I go back to the Google code side where I downloaded the file and I found out en they release a new vsdoc file to replace the exisiting deplecated one, they ‘tangan gatal’ change the name to jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc2.js. VS Interllisense only programmed to regconized [Javascript file name]-vsdoc.js without the 2 at the back there.

That vsdoc2 is the cause of the problem here! Just rename it to jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js and you got JQuery Intellisense working!

Complex family relationships expressed in English

April 28th, 2009 Patrick No comments

I know this is not the place to blog about family relationships (where are the codes?!) but when you have Raymond Chen (author of the book Old New Thing and developer in Windows Shell team) talked about this topic and finding out that he can write in Chinese then this is awesome.

Normally we Asians think that in English there are no word/ vocabulary to tell you want relationship you have with i.e. your father’s sister in law’s daughter. Chinese have word for every relationship but in English an uncle is just uncle, outsiders of your family won’t know when you call your uncle it’s your dad’s side or mum’s side. But here in Raymond’s blog post, I actually find out there is.

WCF – MSMQ based web service returns error 503

April 28th, 2009 Patrick No comments

I added MSMQ to my WCF web service (which was running OK) by adding the following endpoint to the service in web.config file

<endpoint
    address="net.msmq://server/private/queue1"
    binding="netMsmqBinding"
    bindingConfiguration="MsmqConfiguration"
    contract="ITestQueue" />

I also added the following binding

<netMsmqBinding>
    <binding name="MsmqConfiguration"
       exactlyOnce="false">
       <security mode="None"/>
    </binding>
</netMsmqBinding>

Once I deployed the Wcf service on Windows Server 2008, I also enable net.msmq on the website using the following command

appcmd set app "localhost/service" /enabledProtocols:net.msmq

However when I try to point to the svc file from my browser I got an Error 503 instead. Removing the MSMQ endpoint and I have the service up and running again.

After that I have a look at the website via the IIS Management Console and I realize that http protocol is not enabled for the website anymore

A normal web app will have http protocol such as below

image

At last I figure out that the appcmd actually overwrote the settings instead of adding on to it. So the correct appcmd command is:-

appcmd set app "localhost/service" /enabledProtocols:net.msmq, http

And I have the site running again with both http and msmq protocol enabled.

Windows 7 Release Candidate

April 26th, 2009 Patrick No comments

WTB_banner_win7

The Windows team blog annouced that the final testing milestone for Win7 which is the RC will be available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers on 30th April.

On the mean time Paul Thurrott’s Super Site for Windows has tons of screenshots for Windows 7RC. Compared to Beta, I don’t see much difference except the news about a Virtual Windows XP Classic Mode.

Now I wonder how Paul got access to the build? :)

Intel Q9400, Hyper-V and Windows Mobile 6.5

April 7th, 2009 Patrick No comments

Besides upgraded my PC to Intel Q9400 Quad cores processor (I will share my experience on setting up a SharePoint clusters on Hyper-V) later. I also flashed my HTC Diamond to run the latest beta of Windows Mobile 6.5.

The phone upgrade process is not for the faint hearted (it could renders your phone unusable), for example during install Hard SPL to my phone at one point the screen on my Diamond gone blank and an error message appeared on my PC. Luckily thanks to the guidance here I find out this is normal and I just need to restart the application again.

All the while I don’t have intention to upgrade my phone to WM6.5 if not because of the new themes appear on the latest build. Although people still argue about how good looking the themes are but for me it is good enough. Beyond look, the usability of the new Today’s screen is similar to the one found on Smart Phone Edition of WM6.1 which I like very much when I loaned a Motorola Q9 from Pohz.

wm65themes_l

Below are the links to the latest ROM

HTC Touch Diamond (This is the one I installed)

The cooked ROM for Diamond does not comes with full set of themes so you got to download here.

HTC Touch HD

Again, try this at your own risk, the best support you can get is from xda-developers.com

Using FCKEditor to embed Flash content; does not appear in IE

April 3rd, 2009 Patrick No comments

This is because FCKEditor only create a <embed> element to display Flash content which does not work for IE. IE requires the <object> element to embed Flash in a webpage where else <embed> only works for Firefox based browsers. This links shows the way to embed Flash object in HTML.

Changing the JavaScript code in FCKEditor is a bit troublesome (my JavaScript skill is not good enough) So if you are using .NET you can refer to this method I created to wrap the <embed> element with <object> element. This is more of a quick hack so I make no guarantee it will work in your environment. I am using LINQ to XML for this so you will need Visual Studio 2008 + .NET 3.5.

Public Function UpdateEmbedTag(ByVal content As String) As String

    Const embedTag As String = "<embed "
    Const objectTag As String = _
    "<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'" + _
    "codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/" + _
    "flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0' id='myMovieName'><embed "
    Const embedCloseTag As String = "</embed>"
    Const objectCloseTag As String = "</embed></object>"

    '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
    '  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" 
    '  src="http://localhost:49427/userfiles/Video/test/flash.swf" 
    '  play="true" loop="true" menu="true"></embed>
    '
    'TO
    '
    '<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
        '  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/
        ' flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" id="myMovieName">
    '  <param name="movie" value=""/>
    '</object>

    Dim _newContent = "<div>" + content.Replace("&nbsp;", " ") + "</div>"
    _newContent = _newContent.Replace(embedTag, objectTag)
    _newContent = _newContent.Replace(embedCloseTag, objectCloseTag)

    Dim root = XElement.Parse(_newContent)

    Dim embedElementList = root.Descendants("embed")
    Dim flashLocation As String
    Dim height As String
    Dim width As String

    If embedElementList.Count > 0 Then

      For Each embedElement As XElement In embedElementList

         If ((embedElement.Attribute("pluginspage") = _
              "http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer") _
           Or embedElement.Attribute("type").ToString.Contains("flash")) Then

             flashLocation = embedElement.Attribute("src")
             height = embedElement.Attribute("height")
             width = embedElement.Attribute("width")

             If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(width) Then _
               embedElement.Parent.Add(New XAttribute("width", width))
             If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(height) Then _
               embedElement.Parent.Add(New XAttribute("height", height))

             Dim movie = New XElement("param")

             movie.Add(New XAttribute("name", "movie"))
             movie.Add(New XAttribute("value", flashLocation))
             embedElement.Parent.Add(movie)
         End If
      Next

      Return root.ToString

    Else
      Return content
    End If

  End Function
