The folks over at the NYTimes have released the beta of the NYTimes reader… a .NET Framework 3.0 based application that provides an amazingly rich experience for reading the newspaper… I have been on the internal pre-beta program for a while and I have found it great! A few weeks ago I actually read the newspaper end-to-end… I don’t think I have done that in 10+ years. The other thing I love about the app is that is it is ClickOnce deployed, meaning I get new app features regularly as they are released… This was very exciting (and scary for demos) during the pre-beta phase… and I expect somewhat regular updates to continue… I get these new updates with zero additional install work.. it just gets updated in place… Enjoy!

Have you ever tried to add up multiple fields with JavaScript, only to find out that the client entered a comma to separate thousands and millions? This causes JavaScript to drop all of the digits after the comma. SearchDomino.com member Mike Parman explains how to use the split command to extract the commas prior to adding the fields together.

A common problem when creating a Lotus Notes view is designing a column that categorizes documents by month (or quarter). Many Lotus Notes developers have reinvented this wheel many times over, with varying degrees of success. In this tip, SearchDomino.com contributor Chuck Connell attempts to solve this problem once and for all.

In this posting, I am going to explain a few important concepts of Lotus Notes: How/where is a document stored in a database, and what is the difference between removing a document and deleting one?

To understand these questions, you must first understand the difference between a Folder and a View. ?On the surface they look the same. ?Both display documents vertically in rows, and for each row there are columns which show information about the document. ?For example, your Inbox shows emails, and the columns for each row display values such as the name of the Sender, the date, the size, and the subject.



Where a Folder and View differ, is in how they determine which documents to display.

Each view in a database is configured (by a developer) to show documents based on something called a "Selection Formula". ?That formula can range from something as simple as "All", so that every document in a database is shown, to a very granular formula such as "Show me all documents by a specific author, and are older than a specific date, and over a specific size".

Folders on the other hand are more of an "open container" for documents. ? Instead of displaying documents based on any specific criteria, they display just those documents that you drag and drop into them. ? Folders tend to be more personal, and allow you to define your own way to store documents, organized in a manner which has meaning specific to you.

So assuming you now understand the difference between Folders and Views, the important thing to understand next is that each document is only stored a single time per database, no matter how many Folders or Views that document is displayed in. ? ?For example, when you move an email from your Inbox into several folders, your mail file only contains a single instance of the document. ? Each folder just contains a pointer to that one document.


Why is this important to know? ? Because if you DELETE a document from a folder, it will be gone from all the folders and views that it was displayed in. ? If you no longer want a document to be displayed in specific folder, you REMOVE it from that folder, not delete it.



To help reduce the amount of mistakenly deleted emails, Lotus Notes warns you when you try and delete a document from the Sent view of your mail file.



Does that explain things? ?If not, please ask questions and I'll keep updating this document until it is very clear.

W3C published new editions of the XML 1.0/1.1 and Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1 specifications for data exchange that include corrections for all known errata.

I just noticed the VB folks created a great little WinForms control that gives you the VB6 style “print form” functionality… Looks pretty easy to use and can be used (via a DLL) in VB or C# projects. Enjoy… PrintForm Component 1.0 The PrintForm Component is designed to bring back the ability to easily print a Windows Form. With this new PrintForm component you can once again layout the Windows Form exactly as you want it and allow your users to print the form as a quick report.

Rick has a very extensive post on his blog about the state of Atlas today. It's a fair and complete look at what the technology is today and what it will become in the next few months. The post is a great read that I personally enjoyed a lot because Rick is hard to please and well, he seems to be mostly pleased (which doesn't mean that we don't have a lot to do before we release, working on that).http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/7551.aspx Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit!
