WCF: How to find out when a session is ending?

- by TomTom

I have a WCF application that is using sessions. Is there any central event to get thrown when a session ends? How can I find out when a session is ending WITHOUT (!) calling a method (network disconnect, client crashing - so no "logout" method call)? The server is hosted as: [ServiceBehavior( InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerSession, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Reentrant, UseSynchronizationContext = false, IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true )] Basically because it is using a callback interface. Now, I basically need to decoubple the instance created from the backend store when the session terminates ;) Any ideas?

SharePoint (2010): Field for (multi) currency...?

- by TomTom

Hello, old problem now getting new. Anyone has a good idea for storing currency values in a sharepoint list? Problem is - there is a currency field, but it is not multi-currency enabled. I could obviously store the value in two fields (currency lookup from a list, value in second field), but I take it as wondering whether there is a more viable approach that.

Best client for SVN / WIndows for READ ONLY ;)?

- by TomTom

Not interested in any source control OR shell integration. This is basically to make regular gets on certain third party archives. I would really prefer not to deal with SVN in any way in my shell or visual studio. Native / C# preferred (as i have those runtimes already installed). Anyone a recommendation under those circumstances?

View / ViewModel - what is the sense (in a WPF control)?

- by TomTom

Not as funny as it sounds. Normally the View / ViewModel should decouple the presentation from the business logic. Good. Now, a Control in WPF is basically invisible unless made different (with the exceptions of UserControl and Window that have XAML directly attached). The Style is putting in the "visual presentation" - which basically means a Control does not need a view mechanism as WPF already has one? In addition. the ViewModel is actually part of the Control, or? Just fighting with that stuff. I know in ASP.NET, WinForms the separation makes a lot of sense - but there, basically, controls HAVE an intrinsic look. In WPF, I have some where it makes sense (derived from UserControl), but for the majority of the controls I write, the View & ViewModel look like pretty much totally superflous thanks to the already presenting view mechanism.

SharePoint 2010 as Web CMS - anyone any links?

- by TomTom

Mostly interested in how to hide the SharePoint "particulars". For example whether to use the base site as "Wiki" and in this case - how to hide the "SitePages" folder and other SharePoint specifics. And links to any pages / Documents helping there ;)

.NET Regex - need matching string for parsing...

- by TomTom

Hello, I am a regex idiot and never found a good tutorial (links welcome, as well as a pointer to an interactive VS2010 integrated editor). I need to parse strings in the following form: [a/b]:c/d a, b: double with "." as possible separator. CAN be empty c: double with "." as separator d: integer, positive I.e. valid strings are: [/]:0.25/2 [-0.5/0.5]:0.05/2 [/0.1]:0.05/2 ;) Anyone can help? Thanks

Resources for creating a turn-by-turn navigation system

- by benwad

I'm trying to create a kind of turn-by-turn satellite navigation system using the iOS SDK. I get the directions from the server and draw them on the map, then I keep getting location updates from the iPhone's GPS chip. Currently I start by finding the nearest turning point then, each time the user comes within a certain distance of the next turning point, a verbal cue is given and the turning point index is incremented. This is a delicate system and I'd like to make it more robust so I can tell when the user is going the wrong direction etc. Basically I'm looking for some literature about turn-by-turn navigation, in terms of tracking the user's progress and whether they're going the right direction. I'd have thought there's a lot of research out there but I can't seem to find anything apart from simple tutorials on how to use a given SDK or directions API. Can anyone direct me to a good run-through of the various techniques used in software such as TomTom or Google Maps Navigation?
