Weird behavior observed. I tried to write inline codes on the .aspx page itself and before I do that, I will import all the libraries required: (I have VS2008 SP1 + .NET 3.5 installed)

By after compiling and running it, it throws me an error saying “System.Data does not have a System.Data.Linq namespace – namespace not found”

I tried using code-behind and it works fine for me.

[Speculating] I think due to the steps it takes to load all the lib, somehow only System.Data.Linq is not found while all the libraries can be found if I code in-line. To solve this:

1. Go to reference and find System.Data.Linq

2. You have to manually set “Copy Local” to True – Default is false.

In case you need this, I hope this will save you folks a couple of hours :P

In visual studio 2008, create a new project -> web site

Choose HTTP as location, and type in the site that you want to publish to:

VS2008 will try to connect to the web server and will require you to login to FPSE:

Enter your username/password and you should be all set to publish.

Today, I ventured into the IT Pro field and trying to figure out how to write my first PowerShell implementation in Windows 2008 on PS2.0.

This is the problem that gets us started:

- We wanted to do a daily snapshot of our VM on Hyper-V but it seems that we can't do it via the GUI way- at least not yet. So.. we need to write a PS Script and tag it to Windows Scheduler so it will issue a command to do the backend-snapshot at 12hours interval.

- Here’s the code of the Powershell Script (script provided by http://blogs.msdn.com/taylorb/archive/2008/06/16/hyper-v-wmi-creating-applying-deleting-virtual-machine-snapshots.aspx)

- After that, we tired running it via command by

- Then I realize the default PS policy is restricted, which means we can’t run any script even if it’s my own…. So I have to reset my security setting

- Now all set and ready… I’ll run my script

Here is a brief index of the content. Enjoy and comment!

1. Introduction
2. Getting Started
   • Setting up the Create
   • Serial port communication in VC# Express
   • Teaching the robot to sing
3. More on serial port stuff
   • Setting up and utilizing Bluetooth
   • Driving the robot in a square
4. Intro to VPL and MS Robotics Studio
   • Learning how to drive the robot via a dialog box
   • See how you can use VPL to create a program without writing any code whatsoever
5. Introducing Autonomous Behavior
   • Using the iRobot Create's sensors and a flow diagram to back up when an obstacle is encountered
   • Conclusion to the series
