Hola a todos,

di certo non si può dire che sia un bel giorno, dato il mio attuale stato: febbre, raffreddore forte, sangue dal naso e qualche altra poco piacevole situazione!

E' da stamani che mi frulla per la testa un'idea, ovvero quello di rilasciare, su base mensile, sotto licenza BSD, il codice sorgente dei miei applicativi mai finiti per un motivo o per un altro!

Almeno chi ha pazienza o qualche dubbio potrà farne uno per semplificarsi la vita :)

So che non è poi moltissimo, anche perché la documentazione non sarà il massimo, ma sono tutti pargoletti miei che non hanno mai visto la luce e che ci terrei se qualcuno, per un motivo o per un altro, li potesse usare per semplificarsi la vita :)

In these days, after meal pause, i worked on the smartclient ui layout!

If you haven't seen the previous layout you can take a look at Phalanger: PHP for .NET 2.0 | CMSoft2 Smartclient UI Preview. As you can see, the newest layout is a lot better and flexsible!

Actually i'm looking for another font, and a way to better integrate breadcrumb and search box in the header.

A fast explanation:
- back (indietro) and next (avanti) will work exactly as in a browser
- reload (ricarica) will reload the current page, passing necessaries datas if is required
- favorites button will show/hide the favorites toolbar, the one after the header
- Breadcrumb box will work as it works in Vista
- Search box (cerca ...) will execute a search using the current module
- The clock in the footer will show server date/time
- The left box in the footer will show status messages
- The box near the clock on the footer, on the right side of the bar, will contains some icons, added by smartclient modules, that will jump up and down when a notification is requeted ... them will behaves like windows/linux trayicons

Look at attachment for the layout image!

Any suggestion or comment is well accepted!!!

Note: i've noticed only now that i've wrote "Dashboard" instead of "Preferiti" (favorites)

Looking around for the web, some time ago, i discovered Phalanger: a php compiler written in C# to output dot net assemblies!

A couple of days ago i rescued it because the smartclient for CMSoft2 will use it for administration modules!

After a lot of experiments, i succeded in php code compilation, assemblies loading and, for the end, in classes instanciation and execution: using windows forms, from php, i shown a form with a label!

I hope that in a couple of days to post a screenshot of smartclient user interface, however, at the moment, there is a shot of a test layout, look at attached files (the clock will be replaced by other stuff).

Ah, before i forgot it, phalanger is twice faster than php and if it will pass to use DLR instead of a lot of code to emulate typeless structure it will be more faster!

This release contains development code with incomplete features and without a stable api interface! Do not use this code in production because it can crash your applications!

This is a binary release only, no source code included!

After a lot of work this afternoon, i implemented support for starting and stopping devices, however the code is the same to enable and disable devices, and to eject devices.

After a long refactoring of the code, done during the week end, today i started to write code to enable or disable peripherals and to manage device specific icons - them are supported only by vista.
I struggled with msdn for four hours before to write some working code.

Actually my application doesn't know if a device is enabled or not but i hope today to do this.
