Too tired to go into any object model, I will just give a very simple example of XML List Smart tags in the new Office System, taking advantage of the MOSTL engine. Just put the following XML into an xml file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\LISTS\1033\ et d'exécuter l'utilitaire C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Smart Tag\SmartTagInstall.exe and my name will be recognized on your documents, allowing you to access my blog from any office document  ...

I just got back from Tunis, Tunisia. For one week, I had no connectivity, my AC adapter for my laptop broke down, and Tunis went through some innondations ...

I was doing a training on Office System for a mixed audience of developpers and ITPro, which I will do 3 more times non-stop, in Casablanca, Morocco and Algiers, Algeria. The course covering XML features, SharePoint integration, smart Tags and smart Docs, research, ...etc.

I will have some rest today, and tomorrow I will post some insight into the new Office development techniques (as well as the code I promised last week).

Tomorrow morning, I am leaving for Tunis where I give an Office System 2003 Training for 5 days.

Today, I hade to do some interesting work on InfoPath and on CMS. InfoPath is really a great baby for creating Forms using Web Services ... on CMS, I had to work on a placeholder that makes it easy for the content authors to apply Css classes (without knowing it) to their content. The main idea is to apply on of a few predefined tags, and let the css take care of it (in my case choosing one of a multitude of bulleted lists with flashy icons).

I will be posting that code on monday ( iam just too tired to comment it right now).

There it goes ... I use three languages in this webLog, but you only see the languages that you have specified in your browser as acceptable languages. Thank you Clemens for the multilangual support ...

This weblog is a mixture of technical stuff  (mainly .Net code and comments), my view and  opinions on various things, and whatever is happening in my life, travels, ...etc.
