Windows 7 Federated Search

April 16, 10 //
Comments Off

This is the fourth and last screencast about programming the Windows 7 libraries, and it is not really focused on libraries, but a different topic related to Windows Shell and Windows Explorer.

Windows 7 introduces support for search federation to remote data stores using OpenSearch technologies that enable users to access and interact with their remote data from within Windows Explorer – this is called Federated Search.

This Video describes how to build a Web-based data source that can be searched using Windows federated search. By following the best practices described here, you can enable the rich integration of your remote data sources with Windows Explorer without having to write or deploy any Windows client-side code.

The code shown in the screencast is available to download. Other screencasts in this series are:

Comments Off

Welcome to this short series of Windows 7 screencasts for showing developers how to use Libraries to Light Up their applications on Windows 7.

Windows 7 introduces the concept of Libraries as the new entry point for users’ data. In Libraries, users can find and organize their data as collections of items that may span multiple locations across multiple folders and computers.

This screencast provides a quick overview of the Windows 7 library functionality  and shows an example of a cool WPF application that allows users to control, monitor, and manage libraries.

This is the first of four screencasts about programming the Windows 7 libraries. You can download the code shown in the screencast. The other screencasts in this series are:
