november 06new windows live writer versiona little earlier than scheduled (that schedule being tonight), we [liveside] and mess.be have discovered that the new set of programs are available for download. using the new windows live installer, you can upgrade your windows live programs to the final versions, including windows live writer: i spent ages jumping through hoops though trying to get the new programs to install, but it kept installing the older versions. i followed the support article but to no avail, in the end, i reset my router, and bingo, got the new programs. so if you keep getting the old programs, try resetting your internet connection. i don't believe there is anything new in this version other than bug fixes (which i will try and find out), but i would recommend to be on the latest version. sl whilst writing this i was listening to lenny kravitz - live11:31 am | add a comment | read comments (1) | send a message | permalink | view trackbacks (0)october 29windows live gallery: what the f***??update: i think i have worked out what the problem is now. i can't really go into it in any great detail at the moment (and no, i didn't f*** up) but suffice it to say, it's not live gallery's fault. i submitted five of my plugins for resubmission to windows live gallery, the changes that i made were concerning pluginhttprequest. i got emailed about all 5 of them yesterday to say that none of them were approved . what the f***? even more confusing was what the emails said: "your item appears to be either missing a valid signature or a valid certificate. you may also want to check the signature to make sure that it includes the date. go to the faq section to see what the rejection codes mean and what the next steps are. " ok, so i went to their faq section to see what it said: "missing valid signature:your windows vista gadget doesn't have a valid (the publisher of a file has been verified and the file doesn't appear to have changed since it was digitally signed.) certificate or a valid digital signature (a way of digitally marking a message with the sender's identity for purposes of verification. a digital signature may be bundled with any message, file, or other digitally encoded information, or transmitted separately.) associated with it." what the f***? my windows vista gadget? i submitted writer plugins!! not gadgets! i think i'll be emailing the gallery guys about this, and gonna be annoyed if i have to resubmit all the modified plugins again!! sl whilst writing this i was listening to aerosmith - shame on you1:13 pm | add a comment | send a message | permalink | view trackbacks (0)october 25"world's biggest backup button"love it: "all you really need to do is click the world's biggest backup button" nice little review of my backup utility over at the how-to-geek blog. sl10:13 pm | add a comment | send a message | permalink | view trackbacks (0)october 20writing plugins for windows live writer - using pluginhttprequest instead of httpwebrequestin a few of my plugins, i often find myself using system.net.httpwebrequest to get some data from a website, whether from a service or to access a specific part of a website. this is all very well and good, but what happens if you're trying to use windows live writer behind a proxy? well with writer itself, that's not a problem, you just use the proxy settings to bypass it: the only trouble is, although writer is using those proxy settings, your plugin isn't. unless you do more work to set the proxy in the webrequest, but that means hard coding the details into your plugin, which won't really work, or creating a seperate set of settings for it, which again is a but cumbersome. fortunately though, the writer team have given us an answer for this. embedded deep in the writer apis is a little class called pluginhttprequest. what this class does is use the settings that are already configured in writer. how cool is that! now, one important thing to note about this class: it is not exactly the same as httpwebrequest, more like a very good substitute. if you have built a plugin that uses httpwebrequest, you will still have to modify some of the code. to demonstrate this, i created a test plugin that will show the httpwebrequest method, and the pluginhttprequest method. i created the basics of a quick plugin, and used the following ui: the code behind the test 1 button looks like this: private void button1_click(object sender, eventargs e)
{
string s = "";
try
{
// create the httpwebrequest
httpwebrequest req = (httpwebrequest)webrequest.create(url);
webresponse resp = req.getresponse();
stream st = resp.getresponsestream();
streamreader sr = new streamreader(st);
s = sr.readtoend();
}
catch (exception ex)
{
s = "failed to get information: \n" + ex.message;
}
textbox1.text = s;
}
the code behind the test 2 button looks like this: private void button2_click(object sender, eventargs e)
{
string p = "";
try
{
pluginhttprequest prequest = new pluginhttprequest(url);
stream presp = prequest.getresponse();
streamreader sr = new streamreader(presp);
p = sr.readtoend();
}
catch (exception ex)
{
p = "failed to get information: \n" + ex.message;
}
textbox2.text = p;
}
as you can see, there is one step that is missed out when using the pluginhttprequest, and that's getting the webresponse and getting the stream from that. this is where the pluginhttprequest differs, in that the getresponse() returns a stream, not a webresponse.
the results of these tests are as follows:
this is for me at home, not behind a proxy, see how they both work, now if i was behind a proxy, test 1 will give a failure message in the textbox, but test 2 (assuming you have writer configured for your proxy), will show the same as it does above, the source code for www.microsoft.com.
now, this is only a basic example of how to use the pluginhttprequest, and there are other properties to this class that can be levied. but if your plugin uses the methods described in test 1, i would recommend migrating over to writer's native class, as it means your plugins will not only work for joe public, but also for those who are behind a corporate proxy, for example.

ps, expect a post soon with a list of my plugins that use the original httpwebrequest class as they will have been updated and re-released.12:28 am | add a comment | read comments (2) | send a message | permalink | view trackbacks (0)october 16amazon plugin updatedi read a review of my amazon plugin on a blog, and unfortunately, i never made a note of the blog entry (if you're reading, leave a comment ), but they suggested that the title of the item should show just that, the title. the way the plugin worked originally was it got the title of the page, and amazon, being the idiots they are, stuck so much crap in there it often made the title huge, including actors (for films), etc. so, i have now changed that. the plugin will now only display the title, and only the title. source code: http://www.codeplex.com/insertfromamazondownload: http://gallery.live.com/liveitemdetail.aspx?li=82b772ae-6ed9-412d-9f3f-fe83eb4f85497:37 pm | add a comment | send a message | permalink | view trackbacks (0)view more entries
