Jobping open source projects updated

Beginning of October we announced, through Mark’s blog,  the update of the two open source projects we have at Jobping

• Jobping Url Shortener version 0.6

• StickyBeak version 0.3

We also would like to share the way we streamlined our build process to have something very useful where you just need to click on a button to have your full build running. By the way we use exactly the same technics to be able to deploy Jobpingto our different stages, one click on a button in TeamCity!

So I encourage you to read the Build series which Mark started!

• Create a Build File for a Visual Studio Solution - MsBuild Series
• Mercurial Revision No to Version your AssemblyInfo - MsBuild Series
• Zipping Build Outputs - MsBuild Series (this post)
• NuPack packaging - MsBuild Series (coming soon)
• NUnit Testing - MsBuild Series (coming later)
• Web Projects and AspNetComplier - MsBuild Series (coming later)
• Cruise Control - MsBuild Series (coming later)

Building ClickOnce targeting .NET Framework 4 with TeamCity

I already talked about this topic in a previous post, Building ClickOnce with TeamCity, which was about .NET framework 3.5. This time I will talk about .NET framework 4.

As always when you change from one .NET framework version to another, there are some more things to install on our build server than just the .NET Framework.

So this time I had to copy from my local machine (in fact it was Robert doing it, Thanks Robert) the folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A

To the build server folder

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A

Take care of the “x86”, due to my 64bits Windows 7 which is removed on the server because it is a 32bits Windows 2003 R2.

After that I created all the registry keys needed

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A]
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\"
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ProductName"="Microsoft Windows SDK for Visual Studio 2010"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK .NET Framework 3.5 Multi-targeting Utilities"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools-x64]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK .NET Framework 3.5 Multi-targeting Utilities (x64)"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\x64\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools-x86]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK .NET Framework 3.5 Multi-targeting Utilities"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK Tools for .NET Framework 4.0"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\NETFX 4.0 Tools\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x64]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK Tools for .NET Framework 4.0 (x64)"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\NETFX 4.0 Tools\\x64\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x86]
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows SDK Tools for .NET Framework 4.0"
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\NETFX 4.0 Tools\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-SDKTools]
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\"
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows Common Utilities"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-Win32Tools]
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin\\"
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows Utilities for Win32 Development"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-WindowsHeadersLibs]
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\"
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows Headers and Libraries"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-WinSDKIntellisenseRefAssys]
"InstallationFolder"="C:\\Program Files\\Reference Assemblies\\"
"ProductVersion"="7.0.30319"
"ComponentName"="Windows Intellisense and Reference Assemblies"

You can copy this in a .reg file and apply it directly

Finally I also created the following keys, which you also might copy in a .reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GenericBootstrapper\4.0]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bootstrapper\\"

And here is the result

Playing with jQuery Templates API and Flickr

Last week I spent some time playing with the today’s announced jQuery Templates API
It was funny to see the different announcement tonight; Scott, JQuery Blog, James…

Tonight I have spent a bit more time with it and decided to adapt the sample I found here : “Enabling JSONP calls on ASP.NET MVC” to use JQuery Templates

I used JetBrains WebStorm to develop and here is the result

                // something went wrong!
                //
                $( "#interesting_photos" ).append(
                    "&lt;label style=\"color:red\"&gt;Whoops!  It didn't work!" +
                    "  This is embarrassing!  Here's what Flickr had to " +
                    " say about this - " + rsp.message + "&lt;/label&gt;");
            }
            else {
                //
                // build the html
                //
                $("#flickrTemplate")
                        .tmpl(rsp.photos.photo)
                        .appendTo( "#interesting_photos" );
            }
        });
    }
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            $(getInterestingPhotos);
        })
    </script>
</body>
</html>

I could have done a template also of error message.
