One-Time Setup Procedure for the Windows Communication Foundation Samples

One-time setup procedure for WCF samples
Ensure that .NET Framework 3.0 is installed. Some samples rely on .NET Framework version 3.5; therefore, if you intend to run them, ensure that .NET Framework 3.5 is installed.
Ensure that ASP.NET is set up. For more information about how to set up ASP.NET, see Internet Information Service Hosting Instructions.
If you installed IIS after installing WCF, you must register the appropriate scriptmaps with IIS. If you are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, ensure that you performed the HTTP Activation procedure in step 2. If you are using Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003, run the following command.
Note:
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, do not run this command.

Using TypeDescriptor to convert time..

2008-11-11T07:16:00.001-08:00

convert string to datetime of any format.like 11:11:11, 11-11-11,12/12/12 by using

Removing Harmful HTML tag from user's input..

2008-11-07T02:39:00.000-08:00

Here is a very simple method that strips all HTML tags from a string or just the harmful tags - you decide

You need to set ValidateRequest=false in the page directive to turn this off, and on the server side carefully filter user subbmited value.

public string StripHtml(string html, bool allowHarmlessTags)
{
if (html == null html == string.Empty)
return string.Empty;
if (allowHarmlessTags)
return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(html, "", string.Empty);
return System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(html, "<[^>]*>", string.Empty);
}

Converting String in to color at run time and assiging it to Silverlight's TextBlock's foreground

2008-01-30T21:06:00.000-08:00

Today I m very happy that I found very interesting thing after exploring msdn, I had a task that required to change color of textBlock’s font at run time. it is easy when working in .net related things, Normally, we used to convert the string to known-color by using TypeDescriptor. Unfortunately, I'm not able to use it in Silver light project,

we can do this

Text1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush (Color.FromRgb (22, 54, 55));

Works fine. But Problem arises when u want to change color on run time and getiing color name in string format.like

String colorToApply=”Red”;
Text1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush (xxxx);

I was looking too much for TypeDescriptor and ColorConverter. But when exploring, I found System.Reflection class that will help me to achieve that task
So here is what i did, I made a separate class in my project

using System.Reflection;
public class ColorConvertor
{
public Color GetThisColor(string colorString)
{

Type colorType = (typeof(System.Windows.Media.Colors));
if (colorType.GetProperty(colorString) != null)
{

object o = colorType.InvokeMember(colorString, BindingFlags.GetProperty, null,null,null);

if (o != null)
{
return (Color)o;
}
}
return Colors.Black;// If unknown color, return black
}
}
}

And I m using that calss like that,

ColorReflector cr = new Ravs.ColorReflector();
string colorToApply="Yellow";
Text1.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(cr.GetThisColor(colorToApply));

Well, normally we don't look at the Reflection,but now i believe it is the most powerful Namespace(at least in my case)
