New Post: Can I add Windows Live ID as a way of login?

OpenID is the only way to login into shrinkr so far. You can create an OpenID for your Windows Live ID. I guess its supported now

New Post: EF CTP4 complied query

mosessaur — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 01:01:36 GMT

As far as I know you must use a class that derives from ObjectContext! DbContext is not and can't be used with CompiledQuery.

Have a look at CompiledQuery class documentation at MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.objects.compiledquery.aspx

If I'm missing something please correct me.

New Post: EF CTP4 complied query

game99 — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:31:41 GMT

I am working on using DbContext instead of ObjectContext which comes in EF CTP4. I got everything working except compliled query is broken.

    public class UserByNameQuery : QueryBase<User>
    {
        private static readonly Expression<Func<DbContext, string, User>> expression = (database, name) => database.Users.SingleOrDefault(user => user.Username == name);
        private static readonly Func<DbContext, string, User> plainQuery = expression.Compile();
        private static readonly Func<DbContext, string, User> compiledQuery = CompiledQuery.Compile(expression);

I get error: There is no implicit reference conversion from DbContext to ObjectContext.

Thanks for the help

New Post: Is it possible to use charactors like ”%28“

kazimanzurrashid — Fri, 28 May 2010 12:22:10 GMT

Currently we do not have any plan to support anything except English. Maybe in future we will try to add multi-language support.

Any progress on testing the charactors Rashid?

Can I possiblly just take out the validation and try the alias with those charactors?

Thanks very much, I'm really interested to know. coz no other url shortening service could do this, I'm thinking there must be a reason :-)

here is a sample charactor 测试

Hi Raywang,

We have only checked it with english characterset, we will let you know.

raywang — Fri, 21 May 2010 03:34:28 GMT

I would like to try using some thing like "%96%87" as url alias. because the languate I use is translated to that after rendered in the url.

Currently the alias box allows alphanumeric only. Is this possible to change?

Thanks for the help.

New Post: Is it possible to have private UI access?

goloroden — Wed, 05 May 2010 21:27:20 GMT

Hi,

this is good news :-). The problem ATM is that there are lots of public ones available, but nearly no private ones (at least no ones that are written in .NET).

So, this would be great :-)

Cheerio,

Golo

kazimanzurrashid — Wed, 05 May 2010 12:56:20 GMT

Hi Golo,

Currently it is only available for public use, but I think a private would be a nice addition, I will talk with the team to inlcude it in the next major release.

goloroden — Wed, 05 May 2010 06:09:27 GMT

Hi there,

AFAICS - great project :-).

Anyway, I have a question: Is it possible to make UI access private, so that only a few predefined users are able to add, edit or delete short URLs? The idea is that a company might use this to create links themselves, but provide these links to the public - but the public should only be able to use the links, not to create new ones, edit existing ones, ...

Cheerio,

Golo

fujiy — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:25:29 GMT

I am curious about EventSubscription, EventBase and another at EventAggregator.

What SubscriptionToken class do more that a Guid?

Comparing with C# Events, what the difference? Its a GlobalEvent plus Predicate if it should execute? What advantages?

Its a "WeakReferenceDelegate"?

Ps.: This dont throw a out of index exception in cases that call RemoveAt?

EventBase:

for (int i = subscriptions.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
Action<object[]> subscriptionAction = subscriptions[i].GetExecutionStrategy();

if (subscriptionAction == null)
{
using (syncLock.Write())
{
subscriptions.RemoveAt(i);

//Missing i--;
}
}
else
{
returnList.Add(subscriptionAction);
}
}
