It just a summarize to explain MSFT sample: Association launching sample. Metro UI to call Desktop UI File extension call: Add default open on registry if you want create new one. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.XXX] Using Windows.System.Launcher.launchFileAsync Protocol call: (such as “http://”, “mailto://”) Add default protocol on registry if you want create new one. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT%PROTOCOL%] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\%PROTOCOL%DefaultIcon] @=”C:\Program Files\XXX.exe,0”[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\%PROTOCOL%shell] @=”play” [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\%PROTOCOL%shellopen] @=”” [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\%PROTOCOL%shellopencommand] @=”“C:\Program Files\XXX.exe” %1” [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT%PROTOCOL%shellplaycommand] @=”“C:\Program Files\XXX.exe” %1” * Using Windows.System.Launcher.launchUriAsync P.S.: Since it is Async, please note you might need handle it well to make it work. :) Metro UI to call Desktop UI * File extension call * Add on “package.appxmanifest” “Declarations” to add “Protocol”. * Handle callback feedback and launch this app. * Double click file on desktop UI. * Protocol call: (such as “http://”, “mailto://”) * Add on “package.appxmanifest” “Declarations” to add “File Type Associations”.

最近再研究如何寫出一個aggregator, 首先把LINQ跟JSON都看了一下。試著想找出一可以方便在各大相片網站找資料的共通語言，由於codeplex上面有Linq.Flickr這個open source 的library，也開始試著研究。 參考: 使用linq.flickr搜尋相片 Note: 由於改WLWPlurk，稱這次機會把手邊平台由VS2008改成VS2010。也裝了Visual Studio Achievements。 為了開發快一點也把順手語言改成C#，不過後來發現Linq.Flickr是.Net3.5的~ 竟然也踩到了3.5 與 4.0 不共通的弊病。 所以也在Add reference 卡了一下。 Flickr user name 不是URL上面的userID 而是user definded 的名字，為了這個我還以為是我安裝有問題~ 認真的trace 下Linq.Flickr去。

(copy from my another site) 由於要修改去年寫給自己用的小工具 (WLWPlurk)，看到其他在Codeplex上面的人都是用WIX(Windows Installer XML)來做包裝plugin的動作。 所以也去好好的搜尋一下有沒有相關可以用的東西。 由於我自己也不是專業在做Installer的人~ 裡面的一些設定也真的把我搞糊塗，才了解前因後果。還好找到了相關的文件WiX Script for installing Live Writer Plugins，雖然他上面的sample是針對 WIX 2.0，不過我也把它修改過後分享給大家。 希望有需要的人就拿去用吧。 Install WIX 3.6 from http://wix.sourceforge.net/downloadv3.html Setup your path setting to your install path. Inser follow code (it should be XXX.WXS) (refer from http://wlwextensionlearning.blogspot.com/2012/02/windows-live-writer-plugin-how-to.html) You might need repace follow string as follows: 1. {$Plugin Name$} : your plugin name 2. {$InstallGUID$}: A GUID for your installation program 3. {$Manufacturer$}: Manufacturer name 4. {$PluginGUID$}: A GUID for your plugin 5. {$Description$}: A description for your plugin 6. {$FILE_ID$}: ID for your binary which need install. (could be multiple file) 7. {$FILE_NAME$}: Name for your binary which need install. (could be multiple file) 8. {$FILE_Address$}: File address for your binary which need install. (could be multiple file) Compiler your WIX source code 1. candle XXX.wxs 2. light -ext WixUIExtension XXX.wixobj

這幾天弄了好久~ 好不容易把Windows Installer XML (WIX) 3.6給搞懂。 等等寫另外一篇來記錄詳細資料，在這裡先請有需要安裝檔的去下載吧。 http://wlwplurk.codeplex.com/releases/52834/download/342411 有任何需要改進的麻煩留言告訴我!!

欠了好久~ 總算一口氣把它寫完: 請到這裡下載: http://wlwplurk.codeplex.com/ Upgrade code with VS2010. Add login page for change account. Using registry to save your login information. Add post content page to let you modify your plurk before post it. How to use it: Just download this binary, extract it and put on your Windows Live Writer plugin folder such as C:Program FilesWindows LiveWriterPlugins This project implement base on two major component: Json.net (http://json.codeplex.com/) NPlurk (http://nplurk.codeplex.com/) You need plurk API key from http://www.plurk.com/API/ to use this source code.
