XControls 1.7.0 Released
By Matt White | 7/6/16 5:00 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
I've been most remiss in not talking more about the XControls project which lets you quickly build an application that will run on desktop, iOS and Android with as little coding required as possible. It's the little open source project that just keeps rolling along. As and when I get the chance, I'll have a blast through the Github issues list and put out a new version.

Are you registered for ICONUK 2014 yet? Tim Clark is running the event this year, but we still need speakers. It's that time of year again when we ask you to throw your hat into the ring if you want to speak at ICONUK.
XPages and IE11
By Matt White | 2/19/14 2:55 AM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten
During testing for a project that we're working on at the moment we obviously have to go through the rigmarole of supporting the eleventy different versions of IE that the world continues to use.
With the addition of IE11 to the roster, it just makes life that little bit more complex. On the server side in XPages what I'm seeing is that the "isIE" test doesn't work exactly as expected.

XPages rendered fields issue
By Matt White | 1/6/14 2:53 AM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten
I mentioned last week that we're working on a large XPages Managed Bean project at the moment. I managed to come across a problem which seemed so basic that I couldn't believe that I'd not seen it before. Well after wasting a day on it, Stackoverflow came to the rescue with various people helping out. Just another demonstration of what a great community we are lucky enough to work with.
Unplugged Controls 3.0

Today we have released the latest version of the Unplugged Controls project which I work with Teamstudio on. And it's a larger release than usual.
Cross Domain Ajax Requests
By Matt White | 11/28/13 11:48 AM | - | Added by Peter D Presnell
I'm rather late to the party with this one, but I had always understood it to be the case that it was not possible to make cross domain ajax requests. That means that if I have JavaScript running on www.domaina.com it can't make a request to www.domainb.com. This was what JSONP was invented for and it worked fine, at least for GET requests.
Minor warning for upgrading to 9.0.1
By Matt White | 11/6/13 12:24 AM | - | Added by Niklas Heidloff
I upgraded my dev server the other day, all went swimmingly it seemed. That is until this morning when I needed to do some work on an application which uses some slightly non standard Java.
Submitting a long running Ajax request in XPages
By Matt White | 11/1/13 1:55 PM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten
This is definitely not best practice, but sometimes there is a need to fire an Ajax request which might take a long time, I have just come across just such a situation. In XPages, the default timeout for Ajax requests is 20 seconds, after that you get an alert which says there was a problem and would you like to submit the whole page. But what if you need to exceed that?
Disable automatic On Disk Project syncing
By Matt White | 5/15/13 11:52 PM | - | Added by Niklas Heidloff
I use source control on every single Domino database that I work on. Often because I want a database under formal change control so that I can relate individual change requests to the changes made in the source code. But also mainly to cover my backside.
Coding the new UKLUG (ICONUK) site
By Matt White | 5/1/13 2:10 AM | - | Added by Niklas Heidloff
The old UKLUG site had served us well for several years, but with a new name for UKLUG it was a good opportunity to re-write the conference management application from scratch.
Dojo lesson learned in upgrading from 8.5.3 to 9.0
By Matt White | 4/18/13 8:44 AM | - | Added by Per Henrik Lausten
It's becoming increasingly the case that you can't assume that what once worked in a previous version of XPages will continue to work in future versions. Today I have come across a case in point.

It's always huge fun (and just a little stressful) presenting at Lotusphere and this year, despite the name change that was no different. You can find all of my presentations going back to 2008 on my presentations page and of course feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
What's new in Domino 9.0 for XPages Developers?
By Matt White | 1/21/13 12:53 AM | - | Added by Niklas Heidloff
It's just a week before the XPages community heads en masse towards Florida and IBM Connect. So I thought I would publish a quick ten minute overview of what's new in Notes and Domino for those of us who work with XPages. It's by no means a complete list, but my highlights.
