Why does some of the articles show up blank with a Page 0/0 at the bottom right... specifically the Silverlight article?

Or am I missing the point, and this is just a mock-up?

Malcolm Sheppard — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:04:04 GMT

Very cool. However, in the sample MSDN Magazine reader application, I only get the section 'pages' (Web, Client, Office, etc.). When I click on an article, I typically get a blank page where the article should be. I've sync-ed multiple times, no luck. Am I missing something? Suggestions? Thanks.

Hello Tim,

When you say "with full source code" do you mean for the MSDN reader? I could only see a Contoso not the MSDN reader. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks

John

Is this MSDN Reader just a sample with just a few of the articles published? Seems that just a few of the articles are available for reading, most just show a blank page.

The Subscription Center crashed while MSDN Reader was downloading articles. I think I now have a full listing of article titles in MSDN Reader, but most of the articles' contents are blank, with the exception of a few.

Is there a way to clean MSDN Reader's cache, so I can download the articles again? Thanks!

Jason, Malcom, Per the blank pages are due to a bug where the sample reader was handling compressed streams from the web server incorrectly.

You should soon pick up an application update with fixes thanks to the magic of Clickonce deployment.

Still have the same issues with blank content.

"Extreme ASP.NET: Encapsulate Silverlight with ASP.NET Controls" is blank, as are the majority of the others.

It might help sliding in a version number somewhere so that we can be sure we have the latest version.

In the mean time, I'm going to remove the app and re-install.

Jason Hanford-Smith — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 01:40:06 GMT

Another idea occured to me as far as usability goes: Shouldn't the mouse's back button take you back through the history instead of to the previous article in the list?

It's kinda wierd to click on an article on the main page, only to find it blank, and then hit the back button and get another blank document!

I am trying to use MSDN Reader behind an ISA Server. We have an autoconfiguration script for IE, however MSDN Reader doesn't appear to use IE as a browser control. How do I configure MSDN Reader to use our proxy server? Thanks.

Ben Ronco - MSFT — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 22:50:08 GMT

This post is in response to those who are seeing blank pages. I also believe that those of you that believe you are having problems related to proxy settings are seeing the same bug. As indicated in a previous post (Ifeanyi on 1/21) there was a bug in the initial release version that prevented feeds that applied certain compression technologies from being downloaded properly in some network environments. We have fixed this problem in the latest release, but the solution is not as simple as indicated in Ifeanyi's post.

To completely rectify the problem you need to do the following:

1. Install the latest versions of the MSDN Reader AND Subscription Center. I strongly suggest you fully shut down both the MSDN Reader and Subscription Center (check the task bar!) before you install the update. Uninstalls should not be neccessary. The latest version can be downloaded at the original installation point on windowsclient.net. You can check to see if you have the latest version by checking the version # in Add/Remove Programs. The "Msdn Desktop Add-ons" should be version 0.5.2.1, "Msdn Reader" should be version 0.5.1.4, and Subscription Center should be version 0.9.2.1

2. Clean the feed cache. Delete "feeds.sdf" from the following location (dependent on OS):

Vista:

[OS Drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\MSDN Reader\MsdnReader\Cache

XP:

[OS Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\MSDN Reader\MsdnReader\Cache

In many cases it is neccessary to do both of these steps b/c this will make certain that you are able to download the feed properly. Just installing the latest version of the app will not work for you instantly because you may have already have downloaded the current feed with a MSDN Reader or SubscriptionCenter version that contains the compression bug. Since the MSDN feed contains fairly static data, the feed only updates occasionally. Thus if you already have downloaded the feed with a bad app, you are stuck with the bad feed until you delete it (step #2) or the feed is updated.

3. Re-sync

Hope this helps!

Hi Ben & Tim,

Installed the latest version (as described above) today. I have not installed any older versions and can't get it to sync at all - synchronisation failed message when I hover the mouse over the icon in the MSDN reader.

We are running a proxy server and ISA 2000. I haven't been able to find a way to enter proxy details anywhere. Can this be done?

re: We've Released the News Reader SDK!

Ben Ronco - MSFT — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:27:19 GMT

Steve,

Did this happen on initial install by any chance? Were you able to sync successfully after restarting the application? You may be experiencing another known issue. See issue #2 at our "known issues" page located at http://windowsclient.net/wpf/starter-kits/sce-known-issues.aspx

There is no mechanism to enter proxy details, but I don't believe you should have to.

Hello... is it possible to get "Microsoft .NET 3.0 Application Installer" (dotnetinstaller.exe in the bootstrapper package) source code? We want to modify it to support .NET Framework 3.5 and launch a ClickOnce application on the end of the installation.

Thank you

I have only installed the latest versions, but I still get this error in the log.txt file in the MSDNReader directory:
