Hi there!

I did a brief overview of your project and you've accomplished a number of impressive feats, overall awesome :) This project seems to have quiet down a bit, also Windows Live Writer development from Microsoft's side appears to have fell by the way side. I'm very interested in the technology you've explored, which can still be extremely usefull in the absence of Live Writer, maybe even more so. I would like to become involved in your project, if the project is no longer active then I'd consider refactoring your work into a new direction.

Thanks and Regards,
Dewald Esterhuizen

New Post: Get user blogs array?

BorisT — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:18:24 GMT

what was the error?

to return list of categories please refer to above UserBlog[] method, where you can see how to return array of n elements.

nyqa — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 01:15:49 GMT

This code didn't give me any error:

        public Category[] getCategories(string blogid, string username, string password)
        {
            #region MSWLWgetCategories
            Category[] returnMe;
 
            return returnMe;
            #endregion
        }

But how do I now add multible categoires to the returnMe variable?

Yeah I did but that didn't work. Just gave me an error.

I got all my categories saved in a database so I need to loop them through and create and array from them.

Any idea how to post the return?

oh... lol sorry... I thought that the "applicationdir" was the local directory of WLW. :P

Then I get it. :)

supportsEmbeds is enabled and that code isn't saving anything it just puts a value inside the string "testing" so my guess is it comes from something else beside the options of the manifest file.

You can see in my first post what options I have enabled.

my code saves file to your server.

this error you get might be because embeding is not approved in wlwmanifest ?

Just so I could see what PhysicalApplicationPath looked like I used this code for sending it to a string:

string testing = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString();

But with this line i the code the WLW stopped the saving process giving me the error saying the blog doesnt support embedding.

I guess that saves the file in a folder in WLM but how do I then save it on my webserver?

Thanks for you help.

edit: I tried your code but it didnt work. What is the @ character doing? Do i need to specify a folder that exists or?

            string fileUrl = HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + @"somedir\filename.jpg";
            File.WriteAllBytes(fileUrl, mediaObject.bits);

Ah yeah but how do I use that method? I tried it but I dont really know how to use it.

New Post: Upload photos?

BorisT — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:06:44 GMT

you can save it however you like it, i used file.writeallbytes because i find it most convenient

nyqa — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:33:06 GMT

ah right. I just noticed that. But how do I get access to the file and save it on my webserver?

Do i need to use the "File.WriteAllBytes" method?

when your user adds an image to wlw he can resize it in wlw, then wlw makes two uploads (original and thumbnail). If you really wish you can resize your file when you save it on your server, you should be able to check for dimensions when file is saved, not sure how, i never tried that.

New Post: Create new categories?

BorisT — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 09:53:25 GMT

yes, you should add it your self, if you say in your wlw that your blog does not support something you do not need to implement it (there is an exception, not sure but i thing that wlw allways calls getcategories method)

did you try this: return returnMe;

I guess the "get-category-function" work the same way with the array so maybe I can use something like this I just came up with:
            Category[] returnMe = new Category[3];
            
            returnMe[1].categoryid = "1";
            returnMe[1].title = "1";

            returnMe[2].categoryid = "2";
            returnMe[2].title = "2";

            returnMe[3].categoryid = "3";
            returnMe[3].title = "3";
            return new Category[] { returnMe[1], returnMe[2], returnMe[3] };
This does indeed return three different categories but what if I want to return the categories in ONE array like:
	    return new Category[] { returnMe };
How do I manage this? I need some way to return the categories dynamicly since im loading them from a database.
