The Google Apps Standard Edition account created before the May 10 2011 will retain the current limits of 50 maximum users.
If you are considering to switch to Google Apps Standard Edition, it could be a nice idea doing the switch before the 10 May 2011.

Reblog: ExpandoObject class in C# 4.0 - DotNetJalps

ExpandoObject class in C# 4.0

As you know till now in c# everything was static and known at design time. But with the C# 4.0  language Microsoft have enabled new dynamic data type which is belongs to Dynamic Language Runtime on top of CLR(Common language Runtime). As you know that dynamic object will know their behaviour at run time. Here Microsoft has given one new class called ExpandoObject class. ExpandoObject class is a member of System.Dynamic namespace and is defined in the System.Core assembly. This class object members can be dynamically added and removed at runtime. This is class is a sealed class and implements number of interfaces like below.

public sealed class ExpandoObject :  IDynamicMetaObjectProvider,  IDictionary<string, object>,  ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, object>>,  IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, object>>,  IEnumerable,  INotifyPropertyChanged;

Now let’s take a simple example of console application. Where we will create a object of expandoobject class and manipulate that class at run time. Let’s create a simple code like below.

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text;  namespace ExpandoObject { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { dynamic users = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject(); users.UserName = "Jalpesh"; users.Password = "Password";  Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}:{1}","UserName:",users.UserName)); Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}:{1}","Password:",users.Password));  Console.ReadKey(); } } }

Here in the above code I have added a new memeber called UserName and Password for the new dynamic user type and then print their value. Now let’s run the application and see its output as below

ExpandoObject

That’s it. You can add valid type of member to ExpandoOjbect class. Isn’t interesting.. Hope you liked it.. Stay tuned for more..

Reblog: How to make "Copy As HTML" Visual Studio 2008 addins work on VS2010

Hello,

To make it work on Visual Studio 2010, go to the installation folder of the addin, usually it will pick your MyDocument folder '.\MyDocument\Visual Studio 2008\Addins', copy the addin to the new Visual Studio folder '.\MyDocument\Visual Studio 2010\Addins'.

Here are the folders and files you need to copy.

LavernockEnterprises.CopyAsHtml.2008.AddIn
LavernockEnterprises.CopyAsHtml.dll

After you done with it, you will need to edit this file 'LavernockEnterprises.CopyAsHtml.2008.AddIn' and add Visual Studio to the supported hosts.

Add the following above the existing entry.

<HostApplication>
<Name>Microsoft Visual Studio</Name>
<Version>10.0</Version>
</HostApplication>

Here you can find the CopyAsHTML Addin
