I was trying to get the JQuery Intellisense working in VS 2008. But I was getting the error “Error updating JScript IntelliSense: Object doesn't support this property or method @ 2139:1” . I was wondering what was the problem. Then through this blog http://patrickyong.net/2009/05/08/error-updating-jscript-intellisense-object-doesnt-support-this-property-or-method-21391/ I found that the “jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc2.js” downloaded from the site has a 2 after “vsdoc” . So the file is not recoginized. So just remove that 2 and it works Cheers!!!

Its Sunday and day 2 of the Tech-ed . I am all excited to be there. Got up went to church and rushed to Tech-ed. There was a change in the schedule and the first session was on "Building custom activities in WF" by Gayathri. It was a really very informative session. The second session was something i was looking forward on "Introduction to Microsoft Azure services platform." by Jankiraman and Niraj. The session was simply superb. The audience was all glued to it. Great way to go on Microsoft Azure... This session followed by the a coffee/tea break. This was followed by the Session on "Introducting Infragistics" by who else Vic. It was good insight to all the Infragistics controls.

Today being a saturday i woke up to the excitment of Tech-ed organised by Microsoft User groups BDOTNET and BITPRO. Reached the view at sharp 9 AM and there was a good crowd though being a saturday. It indicate the technology enthuasim in them . The keynote was to be addressed by Ram , Director of Microsoft Technology Center. But it was delayed by some logistics issues. Finally the event started around 9:15 AM with the keynote. It was a good keynote on the future of software, it was really a eye opener on some facts. But it was cut short due to the time factor. I really felt he should have been give a little more time. The second session was on "Windows 7 - Kernel Enhancements and Location Sensors" by Vic and Vijay. By the name of Vic, you can expect a good session. I am sure he is a big fan of windows 7 . Vijay gave a good introduction of some of the enhancements in Windows 7 and the best was on location sensors by Vic. The demo's was really cool ones. Awesome guys.....
