Rafael Rivera and Long Zheng have released a handy application for Windows 7 called Geosense, a Windows Sensor, that provides the Location and Sensors platform in Windows 7 with accurate and reasonably ubiquitous positioning information without requiring or the assistance of GPS hardware, enabling more practical location-based applications and scenarios on Windows 7.

Geosense is available for both x86 & x64 versions of Windows 7. You can download the setup file from the link mentioned below. More information is available at the Geosense download page and articles on Rafael Rivera and Long Zheng’s blog.

Engadget spotted the pad in the wild and claim it’s a prototype device made by Microsoft Research Asia. The charging pad is named “uPad” and was produced in limited numbers as a souvenir for Microsoft Research Asia’s 10th anniversary. It’s not yet clear whether the device will be mass manufactured or released outside of Asia. Microsoft officials were unavailable for comment at the time of writing.

Microsoft applied for a patent for the device last year which was spotted this week. According to the patent, devices can be placed on any side of the pad for wireless charging, inductively. The device will use the inbuilt accelerometer to detect which part is facing up to send the charge. The pad will also include an OLED screen to display information such as news and sports headlines and weather information.

Powermat devices currently offer similar features by using a combination of wireless induction charging, magnetic alignment and RFID handshake. Powermat offers replacement battery covers and batteries for devices such as the iPhone, BlackBerry and Nexus One. The technology works by aligning magnetic points to a desktop pad that completes an RFID handshake to determine the exact amount of power required for the device. The device is then charged using electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between two objects

The following very simple example would alert the user when click the button.hope this will help you .

private void buttonClick_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)

{

System.Console.Beep();

MessageBox.Show (“error…!”);

}

Problem

I have an ASP.NET WebForms app with an UpdatePanel containing a search area where I have a ASP:TextBox that I use for a jQuery autocomplete.

$(document).ready(function() {

$(”#tabContainer_tabSearchBreaks_txtSearchName”)

.autocomplete(”AutoCompleteEmployee.ashx”, { minChars: 3, maxItemsToShow: 10 });

})

This whole thing works fine, but if I click on a ASP:Button and process some code for the search area, the autocomplete javascript no longer works.

Solution

All event bindings defined in $(document).ready stop working after the first partial postback,substitute $(document).ready with the ASP.NET AJAX’s own pageLoad event. This may solve one problem.

function pageLoad() {

$(”#tabContainer_tabSearchBreaks_txtSearchName”)

.autocomplete(’AutoCompleteEmployee.ashx’).result(function(event, data, formatted) {

document.getElementById(’ctl00_ctl00_cpBody_body1_hdnItemId’).value = data[1]

}); ;

}

Apple have now finally released a version of Bootcamp for OSX 10.6 to support Windows 7. Not to soon either as Apple had previously announced that they would be releasing Windows 7 support by the end of 2009.

This is good new for owners of Mac’s as they can now dual boot their Mac’s Windows 7 enabling them to run the Windows 7.

The bad news is that Bootcamp only does not allow users to re-size partition safely and it is still difficult to transfer file between the OS’s due to the incompatible file systems.
