Guest Lecture: Emerging Technologies covering database

I had done a guest lecture for INFOSYS330 in University of Auckland this afternoon. It was good... I think? Usually in the second last week of the semester there are not many students attending class, but this lecture marks attendance, so nearly everyone come to lecture, ha-ha. That made me feel better. :D

Anyway, just want to put up some slides and code. 

Here: slides and codes

 

P.S. I have polygon data for NZ map - and yes, I traced it. :P

Annoying VS2008 System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

I was a bit annoyed, and whatever people say in here didn’t solve my problem. >_<

If you got this when you open a Web services project:

Run your Visual Studio as an administrator (in Vista, in order to access IIS metabase)!

Interesting Screenshot of VS2008 Beta2 Installer

Visual Studio 2008 has been designed for unprecedented reliability.

It will never do any of the following:

  • Give you up
  • Let you down
  • Run around and desert you
  • make you cry
  • Say goodbye
  • Tell a lie and hurt you

Starting New WPF App Error: Cannot convert string 'pack://application:,,,/

This error is quite interesting. It appears straight after you create a new WPF project, i.e. Windows1.xaml is empty.

By changing the Device Profile in Color Management to System Default, this problem goes away

It is even more interesting that if you have your project open and change the Device Profile back to something else, the error would not reappear. However If you close the project and open it again, it will.

So anyone knows what’s the difference between all these profiles?
