• Oversizing images to produce better looking pages?

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  In the past, improper image resizing used to be a big no-no of web design (not mentioning improper compression format). Hence, for years I have been sticking to the policy where images (PNG or JPG) are resized on the server to match the resolution pixel-wise they will have with the rendered page. Now, recently, I hastily designed a HTML draft with oversized images, using inline CSS style such as width:123px and height:123px to resize the images. To my (slight) surprise, the page turned out to look much better that way. Indeed, with better screen resolution, some people (like me), tend to browse with some level of zoom (aka 125% or even 150% zoom), otherwise fonts are just too small on-screen. Then, if the image is strictly sized, the enlarged image appears blurry (pixel interpolation effect), but if the image is oversized the results is much better. Obviously, oversizing images is not an acceptable pattern if your website is intended for mobile browsing, but is there case where it would be considered as acceptable? Especially if the extra page weight is small anyway.

• Remote access to Microsoft Dynamics NAV (C/Side) with native non-SQL database

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I am facing a company that have a fairly recent Microsoft Dynamics NAV (C/Side) setup that comes with a non-SQL storage system called the native database server. I would need to be remotely connect to this database, and perform what would equate to SQL queries with very modest needs (no join, no complex filtering). I am rather ignorant of this technology, does someone knows to how make remote queries to this ERP?

• How to render plain HTML links in Asp.Net MVC loop?

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I would like to render a list of HTML links in ASP.NET MVC. Note that the links are absolute and external to the website being designed. The following code works: <% foreach (var item in Model) { %> <tr> <td> <%= Html.Encode(item.Id) %> </td> <td> <%= String.Format("<a href=\"{0}\">link</a>", item.Url) %> </td> </tr> <% } %> But I am wondering if it's really the right approach. Am I missing some obvious MVC control here?

• How to embed AsciiMathML in Google Sites?

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  We would need to embed mathematical formulas through AsciiMathML into Google Sites pages (internal wiki for a research team). I am stuck with the limitation of Google Sites. Any idea how to do that? (ps: I have finally found a poorly practical work-around, but better ideas would still be appreciated)

• Boolean 'NOT' in T-SQL not working on 'bit' datatype?

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  Trying to perform a single boolean NOT operation, it appears that under MS SQL Server 2005, the following block does not work DECLARE @MyBoolean bit; SET @MyBoolean = 0; SET @MyBoolean = NOT @MyBoolean; SELECT @MyBoolean; Instead, I am getting more successful with DECLARE @MyBoolean bit; SET @MyBoolean = 0; SET @MyBoolean = 1 - @MyBoolean; SELECT @MyBoolean; Yet, this looks a bit a twisted way to express something as simple as a negation. Am I missing something?

• Return <bar>foo</bar> instead of <string>foo</string> in WCF rest method

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I have a REST web method in .NET 3.5: [OperationContract] [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "", Method = Verbs.Get)] public string GetBar() { return "foo"; } The response gets formatted as <string>foo</string> while I would prefer <bar>foo</bar> instead. Does anyone know how to do that? I feel I am missing something obvious.

• Should I distinguish OpenIDs based on protocol prefix or not? http vs https

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I have implemented a straightforward OpenID support for my ASP.NET app with DotNetOpenAuth. Yet I recently realized that the implementation was treating http://johndoe.example.com/ as a distinct user compared to https://johndoe.example.com. This lead to quite a few confused users. I am unsure what to do at this point. Is this a bug or a feature? Indeed, I can consider this behavior as a feature: if the user specifies the HTTPS, the user might not want the system to accept HTTP auth in the first place. On the other hand: if the user specifies HTTPS out of sheer cluelessness (the casual web visitor is clueless concerning the purpose of the "S" part), then rejecting it's authentication attempt is confusing. What is considered as the best practice?

• Custom description page for the WCF endpoint?

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I am migrating an ASP.NET Web Service toward WCF. The old Web Service endpoint had a nice extensive description page generated from the comment of the underlying class exposed as a service endpoint. In particular, all available web methods were listed. Is there a way to emulate somehow this behavior with WCF? At least, how can I customize the HTML content of the WCF endpoint?

• Compressing as GZip WCF requests (SOAP and REST)

  - by Joannes Vermorel

  I have a .NET 3.5 web app hosted on Windows Azure that exposes several WCF endpoints (both SOAP and REST). The endpoints typically receive 100x more data than they serve (lot of data is upload, much fewer is downloaded). Hence, I am willing to take advantage from HTTP GZip compression but not from the server viewpoint, but rather from the client viewpoint, sending compressed requests (returning compressed responses would be fine, but won't bring much gain anyway). Here is the little C# snippet used on the client side to activate WCF: var binding = new BasicHttpBinding(); var address = new EndpointAddress(endPoint); _factory = new ChannelFactory<IMyApi>(binding, address); _channel = _factory.CreateChannel(); Any idea how to adjust the behavior so that compressed HTTP requests can be made?

• Desktop Screen Streaming in Java

  - by Joannes

  Can anyone tell me how to stream my desktop through sockets in Java? I tried using screen captures and sending them 1 at a time but it's no good. Too slow! I think to redirect the video stream would be better.
