Is this because the codecs version is a different download, or is this a limitation of the product key we've entered? Thanks Hi Bret,

One of the issues we’re running into is that we seem to only be able to install the no-codecs version of Expression Blend. Is this because the codecs version is a different download, or is this a limitation of the product key we’ve entered?

Thanks

Unfortunately, it isn't quite as simple as we would hope. The product activation issues are not easy to solve or work around, and that technology is core to the product and is part of our agreement with the royalty partners. I wish I had clear guidance to offer, but there isn't any right now. Thanks, Bret Nick – sorry for the long delay.

So that i thread starts encoding and other might be streaming at the same time. Is it possible using the expression encoder SDK? HI

]]> Comment on Running Multiple Websites in a Windows Azure Web Role by Joe http://www.wadewegner.com/2011/02/running-multiple-websites-in-a-windows-azure-web-role/#comment-2805 Joe Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:31:39 +0000 http://www.wadewegner.com/2011/02/running-multiple-websites-in-a-windows-azure-web-role/#comment-2805 This post is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I did find a way to automate this, so I thought I'd share it for anyone who happens to google their way here. Doing a manual file system publish of each site before creating the Azure package (as Bugeo suggests) can quickly become unmanageable when running a lot of sites in a single role. This is especially true if you're working in a team environment where you might not be the only person making updates to the websites. These instructions assume: 1) The Azure project and the website projects are in the same solution 2) The Azure project is named "MyAzureProject" 3) The website projects live alongside the Azure project in the file system hierarchy For example: MySolution |- MyAzureProject |- Website1 |- ... |- WebsiteN 1) For each website included in the role, right-click the project and choose Properties. On the Build Events page, set the following values. Pre-Build Command Line: rmdir "$(ProjectDir)..\MyAzureProject\Sites\$(ProjectName)" /S /Q Post-Build Command Line: %WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe "$(ProjectPath)" /T:PipelinePreDeployCopyAllFilesToOneFolder /P:Configuration=$(ConfigurationName);PreBuildEvent="";PostBuildEvent="";PackageAsSingleFile=false;_PackageTempDir="$(ProjectDir)..\MyAzureProject\Sites\$(ProjectName)" The post-build command will do a local file system publish of the website into the MyAzureProject\Sites\WebsiteProjectName directory each time you build. The pre-build command ensures that you don't accidentally have stale outputs should the website project not build correctly. 2) Right-click the Azure project and choose Project Dependencies. Make sure all of the website projects are selected. This will ensure that the website projects are always built (and published locally) before creating the Azure deployment package. 3) Edit the ServiceDefinition.csdef file as Wade describes in the section "Run Two Different Projects in the Web Role." The value for each physicalDirectory attribute should be "Sites\WebsiteProjectName" - which is the local publish destination we specified for the website project in step 1. Now when you publish your Azure package from MyAzureProject, all the included sites will auto-magically build and publish themselves, and all necessary files (and nothing more) will be included in the package. Additionally, if any included website fails to build, then the package creation will also fail (rather than silently "succeeding" and creating a package with missing or stale outputs).

The only question I have is in regards to channels and Service Bus billing. If you simply open a channel and leave it open will it not incur cost for the duration? How long does a channel stay open if the instance of the channel and factory are just held in a running app? Is there a time out? Cheers, Magnus Hey Wade – nice post!

One question though, what's the best way to handle the SyndicationFeed.Load("http://michaelwasham.com/feed/") when it tries loading a feed from a site that is down? What kind of error handling is required? Very cool Wade.
