Random number generation using C++ TR1 Overview This article explains how to use the random number generation facilities in C++ using the TR1 (C++ Standards Committee Technical Report 1 ) extensions. We will cover basic uniform random number generation as well as generating samples from common probability distributions: Bernoulli, binomial, exponential, gamma, geometric, normal, and Poisson. We will point out a few things to watch out for with specific distributions such as parameterization conventions. Finally we will indicate how to generate from probability distributions not directly supported in the TR1 such as Cauchy, chi-squared, and Student t. Support for TR1 extensions in Visual Studio 2008 is added as a feature pack . Other implementations include the Boost and Dinkumware . GCC added experimental support for C++ TR1 in version 4.3. The code samples in this article use fully qualified namespaces for clarity. You could make your code easier to read by adding a few using stat...

DigiTurk is the first and only fully digital satellite television provider in Turkey. In addition to satellite TV for millions of customers in Turkey, they publish magazines and run DigiWeb portal. Like many other magazing publishers, DigiTurk saw value in using Silverlight to provide a richer reading experience. But they took the idea a step further, and built a tool which can be used by any magazine publisher to create Silverlight-based magazines. Tim Sneath sat down with the team from DigiTurk to get a demo and hear about how they built this cool solution. http://www.visitmix.com/blogs/news/digiturk/

One of the things we are trying to do with VS 2008 is to more frequently release public patches that roll-up bug-fixes of commonly reported problems. Today we are shipping a hot-fix roll-up that addresses several issues that we've seen reported with VS 2008 and Visual Web Developer Express 2008 web scenarios. Hot Fix Details You can download this hot-fix roll-up for free here (it is a 2.6MB download). Below is a list of the issues it fixes: HTML Source view performance Source editor freezes for a few seconds when typing in a page with a custom control that has more than two levels of sub-properties. “View Code” right-click context menu command takes a long time to appear with web application projects. Visual Studio has very slow behavior when opening large HTML documents. Visual Studio has responsiveness issues when working with big HTML files with certain markup. The Tab/Shift-Tab (Indent/Un-indent) operation is slow with large HTML selections. Design view performance Slow typin...

If the setup fails with "None of the products that are addressed by this software update are installed on this computer. Click Cancel to exit setup." try the following: Start the setup and wait till the dialog appears, but don't click cancel. Now go to the root of the drive where VS2008 is installed. There should be a folder with a random name ("2a3c3425751ec881b40910" for example), copy the VS90-VCFeaturePack-Beta-KB945273-x86x64-ENU.msp file to a different location. Now cancel the setup. Now double-click the msp-file to start the patch manually. Make sure that you have at least 1 GB of free disk space on drive C.

Android™ will deliver a complete set of software for mobile devices: an operating system, middleware and key mobile applications. An early look at the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) is now available . Open Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It is built to be truly open. For example, an application could call upon any of the phone's core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that has been designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android will be open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works...

Hopefully everyone had a good few days off. Before the holiday break, I did some app-building on top of the ASP.NET MVC framework. Actually rather than building some sort of fancy app, instead I was prototyping some features on top of the framework bits slated for an initial release. I've shared out the sample code, sample app and tests - yes, sorry for another tease :-)... but stay tuned... and you'll soon have actual bits to play with as well. Until then, you can download the sample code and browse it locally, and follow along the rest of the post. In particular there are two projects within the solution: TaskList (the web app) and AjaxMVC (a class library with Ajax extensions). One of the prototypes is around bringing some basic Ajax functionality - basically to get post-back-less partial rendering and some behavior-like extensions to associate with DOM elements - sort of like ASP.NET Ajax but in a manner that fits with the pattern around how controllers and views are writte...

Script# brings the C# development experience (programming and tooling) to the JavaScript/Ajax world. The Script# compiler is a C# compiler that generates JavaScript as its output instead of IL. A key goal of the compiler to produce readable JavaScript (as if you had authored it by hand), and would be comfortable deploying into real apps. Hence the translation works from C# source directly into JavaScript without an intermediate IL layer. The compiler can also produce equivalent, but much more compact script for use in release mode deployment. The compiler does not introduce any additional levels of abstraction, thereby allowing you full control of what your application does. In essense the best of script with the best of C#! The Script# compiler can optionally be used with the Script# Framework that provides a more productive application development platform for larger, and more complex applications.

The folks from Windows Live Messenger just released an embeddable messenger control that you can embed into any web site, without any programming. Basically you can head over to the Messenger settings page to create the HTML snippet (an iframe) that you can embed into your page. You do need to allow publishing your presence information and grant permission to let anonymous site visitors to initiate an IM session. The control allows the visitor initiate a chat session with the invitee specified in the iframe URL. In most cases, for example if you're adding this chat control to your own site, the invitee would be you. However, I can see some application scenarios where the application dynamically picks the invitee ID at runtime. The screenshot of the control is on the left. It is a pretty basic chat control at this point. I have a few ideas for what I'd like to see from the control. More on that below. One super exciting aspect of this control for me personally is that it was c...

Facebook.NET provides a .net library for use in developing Facebook applications and accessing Facebook APIs. The library primarily geared around and optimized for developing ASP.NET-based Web applications, both FBML and IFrame-based Facebook applications through an intuitive API and small set of server controls. It does support the use of the Facebook API from desktop applications as well, and will eventually enable Silverlight application usage. The library is built on .NET 2.0, but should run on future versions of the .NET framework as well. Applications using Facebook.NET can be written in either C# or VB.NET. The library is still in early form (some APIs haven't been implemented yet, there are only a couple server controls: FacebookApplication, and FqlDataSource at the moment, etc.) but the intent is to grow this over the course of building some Facebook applications, and through community usage/feedback as well. Please help improve this project by submitting bugs and feature ...

Web Development Helper is an Internet Explorer plugin that provides a set of useful tools to both Ajax/JavaScript developers as well as ASP.NET page and control developers. For client-side script-based development, Web Development Helper provides HTTP tracing capabilities, as well as much improved script diagnostics, and tracing facilities, as well as an immediate window. For ASP.NET developers, when developing against your site on your local development machine, this tool provides the ability to view ViewState, ASP.NET trace messages, contents of your cache etc. http://projects.nikhilk.net/Projects/WebDevHelper.aspx

This was a very frustrating problem for us in our app Jobs ( http://apps.facebook.com/getthejob ). The problem was that in IE, if a parent frame has a different domain than the child page, the session data (stored in the Session object) is not preserved as a security precaution. Anyway, if you have this problem, the answer is available on Microsoft's website. Simply put, in your ASP.NET page codebehind, add the following code: protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) { Response.AppendHeader("P3P", "CP=\"CAO PSA OUR\""); base.OnPreRender(e); } This will add the right headers to every page.
