“Virtualizing” RIA Data Services

I recently learned the value of virtualizing the web server that you use for your RIA data services. Unfortunately, this was not a pleasant experience. Basically, we had outgrown the server that we were on and needed to move to something bigger, better, faster, and stronger. I was under the impression that the drives would [...] (translate)

Microsoft announced Friday their new 'M' language, designed especially for building textual domain-specific languages and software models with XAML.

Flex states retaining memory

I use flex states a lot. I think they're a great way to handle navigation within your application. However, I have recently discovered that any mxml component added with AddChild will not and can not be removed from memory.

Flex verticalScrollPolicy bug

When you have content with width set to 100%, and verticalScrollbarPolicy set to auto, when you resize the window so the vertical scrollbar is needed, you would expect the content area to adjust to handle the newly added vertical scrollbar, but it doesn't.

To reproduce this bug: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:local="*"> <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="700"/> </mx:Application> read more (translate)
