Is Light Switch going to be dead like silverligh

Is Light Switch going to be dead like silverlight as there is no update on Light Switch Team Blog .. please visit http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lightswitch/archive/2014/12/05/where-we-are-and-the-road-ahead.aspx

I still use LinqToSQL when I have a quick Win Forms or WPF app.
As of this moment I believe that the Visual Studio team is committed to creating a LOB application tool that will work with vNext and that tool will probably be called LightSwitch and will probably allow you to upgrade your project from previous
versions.
As a former Silverlight MVP (can you imagine the pain I went through over that:)), the only reason Silverlight is "Dead" is that too many of your end-users cannot run your application because so many web browsers wont allow them to run it (IPad/WinRT).
That is not the case with LightSwitch. 10 years from now the code will still run. This is why VB6 apps are still around, they still run.
Now many developers want to know where they should "invest their time". That is totally fair and I also make the same decisions. However, because LightSwitch requires you to learn C# (or VB.NET) and JavaScript/JQuery you are not wasting your time

  • Cisco 4507 Catalyst switch goes down

    Hi,
        We have  cisco 4507 catalyst switch in which end users are connected. today this catalyst switch goes down , i checked the input power was normal but the Switch is not running. All the notification lights like supervisior engine and Fan status lights are showing in RED colur . So i switched off the SMPS and wait for some time and i switched ON , the switch starts running and in 3-4 minutes it again goes down.  
    Thanks and Best Regards,

      Get on the console port and watch it while it is booting up.  It will usually tell you why it is failing in the logs or messages as it is booting up . 

  • Install Light Switch on Build server

    I
    am trying to install Light switch in windows MS build server and it seems to be looking for Visual Studio 2012?
    Does
    that mean, we will have to install complete visual studio 2012 in our ms build servers?  we don't want to do that. Is there any work around available? 
    I Install
    “Visual Studio Lightswitch 2012 Server Runtime and Local SQL” via Web Platform Installer but still it is looking for more dll and packages.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you want to create lightswitch application, you need install visual studio.
    When you install visual studio you could install lightswitch package like below picture shows you.
    Besides, you could also follow below set up video to insall it:

  • Speech icon turns to light switch in Sys Pref!?!??!

    I'm not sure if this is an app issue, or a Macbook specific thing, because I haven't used a PowerBook, so here I am.
    I randomly opened up the system preferences, and the speech icon changed to a light switch icon?!?! I know this isn't just this MacBook, because the first one I had did this same thing. Does anyone have any idea what's going on with this. And if I have to reinstall my OS, because I'm really not in the mood.

    Check out this thread for a solution. I had the same problem and it hasn't returned since.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

  • Sharing folder icon in system prefs changed to light switch????

    I just noticed that the sharing icon in my system prefs is an icon of a light switch and part of the surrounding graphics are cut off - what's happened? Thanks in advance. FE

    Hi,
    That's usually caused by a bad System Preferences cache file. Have a look under:
    Hard drive > Users > YourUsername > Library > Caches
    and delete anything referring to System Preferences. (Sorry, not on a Mac at the moment and can't recall the specific name(s).)

  • I inserted a HTML5 video in page, when I test it in a Browser, I see the poster image and controls, But when I click play button the video goes white, slider moves like its playing, but just white picture. There was no audio included in video. Please help

    Without a link, it's anybody's guess.
    It could be a problem the video rendering itself.  Which software did you use?
    Did you export to the 3 file types -- MP4, OGG and WEBM to support all browsers?
    Does your web server support those 3 MIME file types?

  • When is Cisco Spark (Squared) going to support IPv6 like Webex now does?

    When is Cisco Spark (Squared) going to support IPv6 like Webex now does?

    You're not likely to get anyone commenting on future roadmap features in a public forum such as this one.  I'd suggest you use the Settings > Support > Submit Feedback functionality of the Spark client to submit your question directly to the Spark team, or ask through your internal Cisco channels.

  • Light switch as Icon

    Quick question I noticed that in system preference my printer & fax Icon is a light switch. Any Ideas why this is and how to change it? I would appreciate any help.

    Justin,
    Quit System Preferences if it's running and trash the following file:
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    Log out/in or restart and check System Preferences for normal appearance.

    You keep using the word insurance. Do you pay extra for insurance from Asurian or is your iPhone being replaced under the manufacturer warranty ? This second option is not insurance so you would have to contact Asurian directly. With this insurance there is a paid premium each month on your cell invoice, you have to pay a deductible to get your replacement device which can run up to $200
    Verizon cannot assist you at the store under insurance, only manufacturers warranty and they can give you the phone number and web site address to start your claim process.
    In the future get your iPhone insurance through Apple Care, its only $99 for the two years and you just walk into the Apple Store near you and get service.
    Good Luck
