Aero Glass: Create Special Effects With The Desktop Window Manager

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 22:47:48 GMT

I always look forward to new releases of Windows. It's fun to poke around MSDN® and the SDK documentation looking for the latest innovations to play with and build upon, to amaze friends and coworkers and-if you're lucky-your employer. Windows VistaT contains a lot of goodies in this regard. I've been particularly looking forward to getting my hands on this release ever since I heard that it integrates a 3D/compositing layer into the desktop. I've written a ton of 3D applications over the years, and one thing I always found annoying was being able to provide cool user-interface eye-candy in a 3D application but not in a non-3D app. With Windows Vista and the Desktop Window Manager (DWM), this is starting to change (see Figure 1).

EntitySpaces to Support CodeSmith

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 23:46:01 GMT

EntitySpaces 2008 will greatly expand the reach of the EntitySpaces Architecture for the Microsoft .NET Framework by supporting both MyGeneration and CodeSmith. Our decision to support CodeSmith by no means indicates we are abandoning MyGeneration. MyGeneration will continue to be supported by EntitySpaces. We understand code generator loyalty, and we love MyGeneration. But, CodeSmith has its fervent followers, too. EntitySpaces 2008 will open up a new market for EntitySpaces and will give current EntitySpaces users a choice of generator. As of EntitySpaces 2008, the EntitySpaces Architecture will be a very viable choice for the CodeSmith Community. Supporting CodeSmith will have the added advantage of allowing users to generate their EntitySpaces architecture(s) from within Visual Studio 2005 via CodeSmith's Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integration. Supporting both MyGeneration and CodeSmith, as this post will outline, can be accomplished quite elegantly, and even allow for greater customization by the EntitySpaces Team.

The EntitySpaces team would like to thank both our customers and those evaluating EntitySpaces for working hand in hand with us on the ES2007 release. The first ES2007 beta was posted on March 4th and thus began the customer feedback / defect reporting cycle with new versions following quickly as advancements were made. You have truly helped us to make EntitySpaces 2007 a very solid offering for those developing for the Microsoft .NET Framework. We are particularly pleased with some of the mobile development that is beginning to take root. We strive hard through our forums to hear you and allow you to shape the architecture you have invested in. We also work very hard to provide high quality support on our forums and to make ourselves available to our customers. ES2007 is a major advancement over it's predecessor (1.5.3) released on December 30th, 2006, these are just some of the new features.
