(Do not confuze this with OPENXML in t-sql. Both are different)

Office Open XML (commonly referred to as OOXML or OpenXML) is an XML-based file format specification for electronic documents such as spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents.

Microsoft originally developed the specification as a successor to its binary Microsoft Office file formats and it was handed over to Ecma International to be developed as the Ecma 376 standard, which was published in December 2006.

Tafiti, which means “do research” in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects that span multiple search queries and sessions by helping visualize, store, and share research results. Tafiti uses both Microsoft Silverlight and Live Search to explore the intersection of richer experiences on the Web and the increasing specialization of search.

This sample code will copy a field (column) to another field when a new row is inserted or updated.

CREATE TRIGGER test /* change to ALTER when you edit this trigger */
ON tbltest
FOR INSERT, UPDATE /* Fire this trigger when a row is INSERTed or UPDATEd */
AS
BEGIN
                     UPDATE  tblTest  SET  tbltest.testvalue=tbltest.name 
                     FROM INSERTED
                     WHERE inserted.id=tbltest.id
END

/* Eg: */
INSERT INTO tblTest (name) VALUES ('ooooo') 
 
/* Now check the data: */
SELECT *FROM tblTest

My article for ‘Beginners WPF Animation’ is availble on codeproject.com.

Check the CodeProject article at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFAnimation.aspx

We can make a rotate animation with image1.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5); so that we will make the feeling wheel is rotating. Here is the code:

 DoubleAnimation da = new DoubleAnimation(360, 0, 
                     new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3)));
RotateTransform rt = new RotateTransform();
image1.RenderTransform = rt;
image1.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
da.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
rt.BeginAnimation(RotateTransform.AngleProperty, da);

My second WPF animation tutorial is available at http://www.digitalmanic.com/index.php?title=Beginners_Animation_tutorial_-_Rotate


DoubleAnimation da = new DoubleAnimation();
da.From = 0;
da.To = 360;
da.Duration = new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
da.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
RotateTransform rt = new RotateTransform();
rectangle1.RenderTransform = rt;
rt.BeginAnimation(RotateTransform.AngleProperty, da);


I wrote this tutorial for WPF beginners. Expected readers are programmers.

DoubleAnimation da = new DoubleAnimation();
da.From = 30;
da.To = 100;
da.Duration =  new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
Button1.BeginAnimation(Button.HeightProperty, da);

I am starting a new tech site http://www.ninethsense.com which I am planning to add technical contents. Basically this is a wiki so that I have the freedom to talk about anything
