How to make a modal progress dialog in Windows 10 UWP
Windows 10 Mobile上的文件管理器有这样一个进度指示器，它是一个模态框，不带任何按钮，只有进度条和文本： 今天我琢磨了很久，绕了一些弯路，发现其实要做一个这样的模态进度指示器很简单。只要用ContentDialog就行。 平时我们用ContentDialog有些思维定势，就觉得这个对话框一定要提供按钮给用户操作。其实它是可以不设置任何按钮的，这样就有了初步的雏形： XAML C# private async void BtnSitAndRelax_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { // show progress await ModalProgressDig.ShowAsync(); } …

UWP App for the Raspberry Pi Azure Surveillance Camera
I wrote a post about Raspberry Pi Surveillance Camera with Linux and Azure, it was using an ASP.NET website for displaying the photos. I made an UWP client App these days, you can download from here https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblgggzfnv0 (Because WP is already finished, so I don't provide Windows 10 Mobile package) It doesn't allow upload photos, because the photos should all come …

Today, I was rewriting an old ASP.NET MVC5 Demo project to ASP.NET Core, and found that the way we used to read Web.config by ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[] is no longer working. .NET Core has many new ways to achieve this. I picked one that suitable for my project. Here is how I do it. The Classic ASP.NET Code web.config Controller private static CloudBlobContainer GetBlobContainer() …

Windows 10 UWP开发：拼音首字母分组如何去掉“拼音”前缀并支持切换系统语言
Windows 10里面有个脑残设计，就是系统默认的CharacterGroupings类型在中文版系统上会产生除了A-Z字母以外的带“拼音”前缀的另外24个分组。比如开屎菜单里就是这样： 如果我们用这个CharacterGroupings类型去创建带分组的ListView，就会变成这样： 更蛋疼的是，如果用户的系统是英文语言的，他就会发现分组变成空白了，没有任何数据。用户不知道这是微软干的，又得给我们的APP打1星，还要骂我们傻逼。 今天经过研究，终于把这个问题给解决了，不仅去掉了“拼音”前缀，也不用担心用户系统是什么语言的，都能正常显示分组列表。 我们先看看原来的代码。 public class AlphaKeyGroup

Sharing Images in Windows 10 UWP
Starting from Windows 8, one big feature for Windows Store Apps is to share data using Charm Bar across Apps. Although the Charm Bar is removed in Windows 10, but the API for sharing is still in the fight. For example, in my "Image Portray" App, I can share ink to OneNote or Outlook. Today, I added same capability for my "Shanghai Metro" App. Here's how to do it. First, to share data across …

It also got a website to remotely view the photos. 1. Hardware A PIR Sensor, a Pi Camera, a couple of jump wires. Connect the Singal port of …

First, we need to install Azure SDK in SSH Terminal: sudo pip install --pre azure …

Raspberry Pi 3 and Windows 10 IoT Core Basics
最近有时间，总结了一下关于树莓派3及Windows 10 IoT的基础知识。适合没有接触过硬件但有一定编程经验的读者入门。我自己刚刚买树莓派的时候花了很长时间入门，搞清楚各种概念和属于。很多网上的帖子都是分散在各个角落的，并且是英文的，有些还是过时的，有些是爆的，所以我觉得有必要总结一篇基础入门帖子。这篇文章讲的都是抛砖引玉的概念，并不包括End-To-End的Case，想要做一个完整实验的文章，请看我博客的物联网开发系列文章：http://edi.wang/category/list/iot 如果有错误和补充，欢迎在评论里指出。 一、树莓派3 树莓派是基于ARM芯片的卡片电脑，大小和一张信用卡一样。今年推出了第三代，集成了板载蓝牙和WIFI。之前的树莓派1和2都是需要用USB WIFI和蓝牙实现的，所以你要是购买树莓派，买3是最方便的，可以省去USB WIFI和蓝牙的配件。并且 …
