ColdFusion All Scopes Local Variables using Java getPageContext() Method

Hi,

You might have heard about CF's undocumented features. One of them came in really handy for me. Its the getPageContext() Method. Using this method, we can list all variable scopes. You could do something like this

<cfdump var="#getPageContext().getVariableScope()#"> or
<cfdump var="#getPageContext().getBuiltInScopes().Variables#">

to get local variables scope and similarly for other variable scope. I read about this method at 2 great blogs, one by Ben Nadel and other by Mark Kruger.

Internet Explorer Terminal Services TS Remote Desktop Add On Prompted to enable but not in the list issue Windows XP SP3

Hi,

One of our colleague got a new Dell Latitude laptop and when he was trying to remote desktop i.e. remotely login to his work pc, he was getting a message in Internet Explorer saying You need to enable the add-on or Active X control needs to be installed.

Step 1. If the Active X control is not installed, please go ahead and install it.

Step 2. If you are still not able to access remote desktop and get message saying enable the add-on, you would have to download XP SP3, extract the files and run the following 2 files

Tscdsbl.bat Tscuinst.vbs

That fixed the problem for me.

Hope this helps.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Cool Stuff - Share My Screen - Code Split - View Related files

Hi,

I just ended up installing DW CS4 and I noticed some cool features.

1. Go to File Menu, and select Share My Screen.
Within minutes after you install Adobe Connect Plug In and the user you invite installs the plug in as well, you will be able to share screens.

It just took me and my co-worker(thanks MJ), 2 minutes to test this feature.

2. Another feature. Code Split. You can split the code into 2 parts, so you could be scrolling the code in top section and view the top part or any part at the bottom view. To do this, in your DW, on the very top next to where Menu ends, there is a layout button. If you click on that, you will see different options and one of them is split code.

3. The one I really like the most is the *View Related Files*. We have several includes in our coldfusion code and this features lets me see all the files that are related to this cfm template.

I will update this post later.

Till then,

Bye.
