Embed a live toast in your Windows 10 Universal App

There is a post "Embed a live tile in your Windows 10 app!" in MSDN blog. I will "extend it" to Preview Toast message in the app.

Similar to PreviewTile, you would have add following features in XAML.

<Pages:
xmlns:visualizer="using:NotificationsVisualizerLibrary"
... >

<library:PreviewToast
    x:Name="PreviewToastDesktop"
    ActivatedBackground="PreviewToastDesktop_ActivatedBackground"
    ActivatedForeground="PreviewToastDesktop_ActivatedForeground"
    ActivatedProtocol="PreviewToastDesktop_ActivatedProtocol"
    ActivatedSystem="PreviewToastDesktop_ActivatedSystem"/>

And then ad following lines in your code:

//Construct a toast XML payload
var payload="<toast><visual><binding template="ToastText01"><text id="1">Hello</text></binding></visual></toast>";

//Initialize the previewToast contral
previewToast.Initialize(payload);

That's it!

 Note: you need to installed the Anniversary Update of Windows 10 to get the latest NotificationsVisualizerLibrary package, otherwise you will experienced the smaller inline image screen issue in the preview message and even crush in the windows Phone app.

SharePoint 2013 error - "Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc"

I had been received a error message " Application error when access /_vti_bin/client.svc, Error=Path '/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery' is forbidden " when try to add user account to a user group in SharePoint 2013 Portal . I searched the issue in google and found out it may related to security issue in local folder  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI" of " /_vti_bin/client.svc ". I verified the user permission on this folder and found out that "IUSR" for IIS is not there, and so I granted user account "IUSR" read and execute permission in this folder. I went back to try add user account in SharePoint again, and it worked successfully this time! This issue is related to error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again." which can be resolved using above configuration. In addition, if this error still occur, check the windows features in con

Enable the Microsoft Power BI report file type (.pbix) in SharePoint Search

Image
By default, the Microsoft Power BI report file (.pbix) is not in the list of file type in SharePoint 2013 search configuration in Central Admin, and so you wouldn't open the Power BI file directly by clicking the link from the search result page. However, it's easy to add this file type by following configuration. Open “Central Admin” site, and then go to "Manage service applications”->”Search Service Application XX” (use the actual name of the “Search Service Application” in your site). Click on the “File Type” in left side navigation. Click the New File Type button and type PBIX (no period needed) in the File extension box and click OK. Restart the Search Service: Go to local “services”, stop the SharePoint Server Search service and start it again. Reset Your Index: Back on the Search Administration page within Central Administration you will want to click on the Index Reset link under Crawling on the left side menu. Press the Reset Now button.
