What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowchart, use cases, and UML diagrams?

I have searched google, but was not able to find article or blogs to answer this question. The questions asked here are very old. So I think this is a very relevant question today.
We are a .NET group and we to update how we storyboard our application development. What tools does Microsoft use to mock UI interfaces, flowcharts, and use cases? Specifically for projects that are either C# .NET MVC 5 and above (looking forward to
vNext).
In the past, power point was able to do some of these things, but it seems it has been deprecated? Does Visio use these things? Also, is Visual Studio's 2013 UML diagram any good or is there another tool in Microsoft's bag of goodies that has more options?
I have read about blend, but it does not seem to be .NET MVC specific.  
Again, this is asking about what tools Microsoft teams usually use to storyboard as our team would like to mimic the more contemporary processes. We are in the process of upgrading our .NET applications and feel it is time to update our workflow process
as well.
Any book recommendations on TFS 2013 and agile are welcomed as well.

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

  • Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    Since I am a TA for software architecture class, some one ask me the following question: I think the answer is "No" based on the document on http://java.sun.com/sfaq/
    How I answer the quesions? Looking forward your help!!!
    1.You may have 2 applets and 2 html files. One applet with one html file may stay at a client PC and run on this PC, and the other applet with the other html file may stay at a server PC and run on this PC. In this case, all the applets are run locally.
    2.Could applets works with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
    3.Can we use applets as user interfaces with sockets, RMI and J2EE?
    Thank you very much!
    Best regards,
    Jing

    The scenario you paint doesn't quite make sense. The "server PC" wouldn't be running an applet, normally, since applets are by definition in a web browser page, and most likely involve user interaction, and "server processes" generally are done without user interaction.
    The security rules around applets are that -- by default -- applets can connect with sockets ONLY to the server from whence the applet was loaded. RMI uses sockets (J2EE is too broad a spec) and hence RMI calls would also be limited to the server from whence the applet was loaded. Within that limitation, an applet could open all the sockets it wants, so long as they are all on the server from whence the applet was loaded.
    If you want two applets on two different systems to communicate with each other, the simplest way is to have them rendevous through a server process on the server(s) from whence each applet was loaded. Maybe it's PC-a <-> server-a <-> server-b <-> PC-b ...? Or maybe PC-a and PC-b both are talking to the same server.
    The limitation is rooted in the security subsystem. You can specify a policy file and override anything in the security subsystem. That does mean signing the applet and then cajoling the user into agreeing to grant greater levels of security than the default. In such a case you can open sockets more broadly and then PC-a could talk directly to PC-b without going through any servers.

  • So what exactly does limited to "one app" mean with a Pro account and the new prices?

    So it seems Pro has dropped in price but it is now limited to "one App".
    So what exactly does that "one App" mean?
    Only one tablet version or one phone version for a certain title?
    Or you can have a tablet & phone version including android & iOS for that one title?

    I think that everyone received it just now…
    Changes to Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition
    Effective immediately, all customers who newly purchase or renew Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Professional Edition, will be able to publish only one app per license of DPS Professional Edition.
    Under this policy change, Professional Edition customers can publish an unlimited number of issues (.folio files) to a single app and distribute those issues based on purchased fulfillment bundles.
    An app created with a single license of DPS Professional Edition can be distributed to any or all of the marketplaces that DPS supports, including the Apple App Store (and Newsstand), Google Play, Amazon Appstore, and the Windows Store.
    In conjunction with this policy change, Adobe is reducing the price of a Professional Edition license to $4,800 USD annually (€3,600/¥480,000) or to $400 per month (€300/¥40,000) and will include 1,000 fulfillments annually. The number of fulfillments included with a monthly subscription remain unchanged.
    This policy does not apply to test or demo apps published using Professional Edition. The one-app-per-license policy applies only to an app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an agency, upon your renewal or purchase of Professional Edition, you can create only one app per Professional Edition license. If you have multiple clients for whom you are creating apps, either you as the agency or your client must purchase a Professional Edition license for each app published to a supported marketplace(s).
    If you are an existing Professional Edition customer and choose to renew your Professional Edition license at the end of your annual agreement, these changes, including the lower price point and 1,000 fulfillments, apply at that time. These changes do not apply to your existing DPS Professional Edition agreement and take effect only if you renew your license.
    DPS Professional Edition customers can continue to create unlimited Single Edition apps, which is unchanged under the new policy. A Single Edition app is defined as an app that includes one built-in or embedded folio.
    If you expect to publish three or more apps annually, we encourage you to contact your local reseller to discuss pricing for a multi-year Enterprise Edition license.
    Enterprise Edition offers additional functionality and benefits not available through Professional Edition. These include app customization, integration with back-end business systems, in-app marketing tools, targeted content based on user entitlement, and the ability to publish apps privately.

  • Does Microsoft provide list of patch name, kb number, patch and product code for released hotfixes?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name, e.g.:Patch Code : {97EBAE10-0D01-458E-BBD7-74ADBE8A51C9}
    Product Code : {90140000-006E-0409-1000-0000000FF1CE}
    Patch Name : Hotfix for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2459117)
    Does Microsoft provide such list? Where and how can it be obtained? if not is there a way to generate such list from hotfixes installed on specified computers?Regards,Grzegorz

    looking for collective information for all hotfixes released by Microsoft with information such as patch and product code for msiinstall, patch and product name,
    At one point that information could all be found in a huge XML file to support MBSA and HFNetChk by Shavlik.  I haven't looked at the most recent implementation of MBSA but I do know that a later implementation of MBSA forced Shavlik to drop support
    for HFNetChk.  I don't know if they have done anything as a substitute.
    Here's a description of what I remember (though 2009 sounds later that I would have guessed.)

    Probably someone on the MBSA forums will have better information for you.

  • What exactly does RAM do?

    I am probably going to replace my stock 512MB with 2GB. But before I do I'd like to know more about exactly what it does. Would it make my games I play smoother and faster? And what is different about RAM than processer speed?
    Thanks,
    NA

    It depends on why the video game is running choppy.
    If the reason is because virtual memory (your hard disk) is being over-used because there is not enough real RAM, then the games will probably run smoother.
    If the reason is because the video game needs a dedicated graphics processor for best frame rate, then the RAM will have only a minor improvement.
    If you are currently seeing a lot of "spinning beach balls", then you will be happier with more RAM.

  • What event does LoginProcess generates?

    I have a login portlet. After a user successfully logged in, a different jsp page--Home.jsp
    need to be displayed in the login portlet.
    I am using the same webflow as the sampleportal. When the security webflow reached
    the LoginProcess Input Processor (com.bea.portal.appflow.processor.security.LoginProcessor),
    it should connect to Home.jsp upon certain event.
    The question is : What event does this LoginProcess IP generates upon success. I
    tried "success" and "login". None worked.
    Please Help or give any suggestions!
    Ellen

    I'm assuming you both are using Portal 4.0 and having trouble creating login
    portlets. This is a known issue with 4.0 because of the way that it handles
    login. There are ways to fix this, but they are not the cleanest in the
    world.
    Login in 4.0 uses the standard form based authentication from the J2EE spec.
    To make a long story short, there is some magic that is happening in the
    Security webflow to get this to work because this functionality is in the
    weblogic server. Therefore, the LoginProcessor IP does not return a value.
    It "escapes" the webflow so that weblogic server can do the login (roughly).
    Then weblogic server uses the welcome-page entry in the web.xml file to
    determine what page to redirect the user to upon successful login. Normally
    this page is index.jsp, which places the user back into the webflow.
    So, what you can do to make this work is to add an IP before the
    LoginProcessor that adds something to the session that denotes the fact that
    someone is attempting to login. Then you can check this in index.jsp and if
    it exists, forward the request to a webflow URL that will cause the portlet
    to display the home.jsp page or whatever.
    You also have to be careful of the dreaded form-error-page parameter in the
    web.xml file. If the user unsuccessfully logins in, weblogic server
    redirects them to this page (which is not in the webflow obviously). Another
    little trick you can do is edit the badlogin.jsp page (which is the default
    form-error-page) so that it forwards the request to a webflow URL that
    displays a bad login message in the login portlet.
    Hope that helps.

    Same Issue here, I opened a case and BEA said to add my process beforeLoginProcessor.
    This is of little value because the flow goes thru this point if it avalid signon
    or an invalid signon.
    If there is a return value from LoginProcessor that identifies a validlogin that
    you can hang a new pipe from it would make life very simple.

  • What excatly does Sound Enhancer do?

    I was going though all of the settings and noticed I had Sound Enhancer turned off. What excatly does Sound Enhancer do? Do most people use it?

    When i tried it out many years ago, I found it just made everything sound like C-R-A-P so I never touched it again after that.

  • Dose SQLDeveloper tool support Microsoft ODBC connection method?

    Dear Support,
    Greetings…
    Dose SQLDeveloper tool support Microsoft ODBC connection method? If yes how
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Hassan Bohra.

    No, and I dont think it ever will, since it's a Java application and the standard for Java is JDBC.
    If you already have an ODBC connection in place, probably you have also a TNS file somewhere and an environment variable pointing to it, so to connect SQLDeveloper you only need to select the TNS connection type and choose your target database from the ones defined in the TNS file.

  • If DW 2014.1 cc does not support database, binding, server behavior, and PHP/MySQL require it, but using Adobe Extensions Mngr IS NOT recommended, then WHAT TOOLS do we use to develop a database with DW?

    I'm using windows DW 2014.1 cc. I'm following lynda.com tutorials to build a website database with PHP and MySQL. I learned I have to download Adobe Extension Mngr to active DATABASE, BINDING, SERVER BEHAVIOR panels, which I've done. BUT NOW I'VE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO USE THESE TOOLS for new development. If this is the truly the case, then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?

    then WHAT TOOLS DO I USE to develop a website that has a database?
    Besides the tools you would already need for a system using server behaviors (web server, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) the only extra tool you need is your own brain.
    A lot of people are disappointed by the lack of database tools in DW now, but really it's much better this way. You can never achieve better than a rinky-dink dynamic website using server behaviors. The code Dreamweaver dynamic behaviors create is really terrible. (I'm not insulting the fine folks who wrote the feature. It's just a consequence of automated code.) You can write better, simpler, more maintainable code yourself, and over time you will improve. With server behaviors you cannot improve. you get stuck in database kindergarten.

  • IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

    iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

    There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
    Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

  • Does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?

    Before opening a ticket with Microsoft to get the official response, does Microsoft support disks which have been converted from MBR to GPT with third-party tools?
    We have various disks on Windows Server 2008 R2 fileserver cluster that are all MBR with various mount points added to overcome the 2TB limitation on MBR disks.  Due to the time involved in physically moving the 30Tb+ of data to GPT disks, I would
    like to investigate the option of a lossless conversion tool. Does anybody have any experience of these in production environments that could comment?
    Any advice and details of experiences would be really appreciated!
    CRM Advisor

    Hi,
    Besed on my research, Microsoft supports a fileserver cluster if the disks have been converted from MBR to GPT using a third-party tool.
