WinForms DataGridView Button Column, hide based on condition.

Posted at: 3/15/2009 at 10:30 AM by saravana
You might be wondering what I?m doing with winforms, recently in one of my internal project I had to use winforms for some tooling. I used the data grid that came out of the box which contained a button column. In data grid, its not actually a button, its just painted to look like a button. So, if you want to do some normal button activities like setting the visibility, enabling/disabling etc its not trivial task (I couldn?t find anything simple). I just managed to crack this code, which basica... [More]

Windows Activation Required if you change your VM’s RAM substantially.

Posted at: 3/11/2009 at 8:39 PM by saravana
This one just came as a surprise to me, I build a Windows 2008 VM for my BizTalk 2009 testing, accidentally started it with the default configuration of 128MB, activated windows online. After shut down ? I readjusted the RAM to 1.5 GB and restarted the virtual machine, this time it asked me to activate it again, saying substantial hardware changes deducted. :-) Saravana.

BizTalk 2009 (public beta), Windows XP - SP3, SQL 2008

Windows 7 - error while trying to activate windows and Windows Update

Posted at: 3/8/2009 at 10:22 PM by saravana
Today I took the plunge and installed Windows 7 beta on my main laptop (its a MacBook by the way). Previously it was running windows Vista 32 bit via boot camp. The upgrade was very smooth without any manual intervention. After starting the install selecting the country and keyboard layout there was no human intervention. After the installation, there were few alerts telling McAfee is not compatible with Windows 7 and there are some known issues. Apart from that everything seems fine. I trie... [More]

SOA, where will BizTalk Server fit in the technology stack (from performance perspective)?

Posted at: 3/4/2009 at 12:37 PM by saravana
Introduction: NOTE: Opinions expressed in this article is from my own perspective.  There are various definitions available for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the basic idea is to avoid building new applications from scratch each time and also to avoid duplicating applications, and data and business logic in one part of the organisation that already exist in another part of the organisation. Instead, applications are built quickly out of existing building blocks called services, and... [More]
