I've published a WPF app to the Microsoft Store. While it generally runs find I do find that some functionalities are missing. For example - I'm using TaskbarItemInfo to indicate stats on the Taskbar icon but it doesn't seem to make any effect.
(sample)
Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() =>
{
TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressValue = value;
TaskbarItemInfo.ProgressState = pstate;
}));
I did find out that when I go to the path installed by the store (C:\Program Files\WindowsApps...) and copy the content to another folder on my hard drive, everything works fine.
This leads me to believe the problem is around a more restricted permissions for the store folder, but it's only an assumption at this point.
My questions are:
Is there any knowledge or docs around restrictions for store apps?
Is there a way to simulate the store environment without publishing? Feels like trial & error is not very effective
Link to the app (just for reference): link
Is there any knowledge or docs around restrictions for store apps?
Yes, there is a document that lists the things you need to know before you package your desktop application. Here is it: Prepare to package a desktop application.
Is there a way to simulate the store environment without publishing? Feels like trial & error is not very effective
Generally, I'd suggest you create a sideload desktop-bridge package, then deploy and test it in your device first. This should be easier to find out issues than directly upload it to the store.

I'm trying to make netflix clone with this tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHYVxg-lJX4&t=109s but products from Stripe are not pushing to Firestore
i went through this tutorial 1000 times and did everything exactly the same, but they just don't transfer, i tried to add it manually, but the app doesn't work
From the tutorial, have you installed the Stripe Firebase Extension?
https://extensions.dev/extensions/stripe/firestore-stripe-payments
If this has been installed:
Navigate to your Firebase console
Select Extensions
Select your Stripe Firebase Extension
View all logs
Most likely this is a Stripe key issue if the Ext is installed correctly.
If working correctly your products will appear in your Firebase collection as defined in your Stripe extensions configuration. Most likely the products collection in your Firestore database.
There's no way to know exactly what is the issue, but common problems could include but not limited to:
wrong secret key (different account, live mode instead of test, etc.)
incorrect rules (you can recheck the rules on the video)
You need to check the video again for any small detail that you might have missed.

I am already trying to develop Office-Addins for more than a year time (side projects needed for work but not a core business). Sadly, I am still feeling like an absolute noob. I tried to research all courses, documentations and SO questions about the matter but it looks like I just cannot advance. I am thinking that Microsoft will abandon Microsoft Add-ins. I tried to contact Microsoft and the developer program always points me to stack overflow So I did not know how to reach out. But I got the impression that the support for Add-ins is really weak and well because of the following reasons:
The Yeoman scaffolding for TypeScript React is really outdated and does not support Functional components but is required if you want to use Fluent UI React framework.
In my version of Windows 10, 2004, it is still not possible to see the developer tools but you stil need the beta Dev Edge DevTools, which remain in beta.
Decent debugging of Excel Add-ins with TypeScript React in VS code with breakpoints is impossible to get working (also when using office debugger because it crashes excel so dramatically that a forced shutdown of excel is needed.
every time something goes wrong with your TypeScript code, the Edge Dev tools tell you that the office.initialize is not properly loaded. So the user is completely on his own.
SPFx is promoted everywhere and on Pluralsight they say that an Add-in runs in an iFrame and that is limited.
I have multiple questions:
How to transform the Class component from the Yeoman generator to a fully functional component?
if you go to the App.tsx file you will see this code:
export default class App extends React.Component<AppProps,
constructor(props, context) {
super(props, context);
}
But when I remove context, it does not work anymore. What is this context? Is this the Excel API?
How to get EdgeWebview2 to work? I have seen demo's but I cannot find the settings to change it?
Is it possible to have breakpoints with EdgeWebview2?
Does EdgeWebview2 give better feedback about what is wrong with your code?
Does a Excel Addin work together with SPFx?
many thanks for your explanation.
Thanks for the question and feedback. There's a few parts to your questions so I'm hoping I can help, as I work on the Excel extensibility platform.
a) If you're looking to build an add-in for Excel and work on cross platform, we would recommend you start with building web add-ins and use the resources here: https://aka.ms/office-add-ins.
b) In terms of "will we abandon office add-ins"? No, we are continuing to invest in our Javascript add-ins. To learn about the latest on the Excel side, you can see our Ignite video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IZjQQ9Kr2o), or attend our community calls: https://aka.ms/officeaddinscommunitycall (which happen second wednesday of every month at 08:00 PST).
b) In terms of getting started,
If you were getting started, checkout the quick start here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/quickstarts/excel-quickstart-react
it sounds like you have tried some of our tools (Yeoman) but are hitting issues. For these, we have an active github channel. I'd suggest logging an issue there: https://github.com/officedev/office-js/issues. Can you log an issue on some of the challenges you are hitting and we can investigate (may be likely after the holidays)?
c) For your questions on Edge, the EdgeWebview2 runtime is currently rolling out to the monthly channel builds. You can find more information here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/office-add-ins-community-call-november-11-2020/, and we'll definitely post news about it once it does become available. Until then, you do have to use the beta channel for Windows.
Thanks!

My blog currently runs Jekyll and the Minimal Mistakes theme, and uses the theme's built in functionality to add the Disqus comments system.
This JavaScript-based commenting system, to me sort of defeats the purpose of having a static blog in Jekyll, considering:
Its JavaScript creates a decisively non-static page.
Comments are not stored with the website.
Comments are stored in some database instead of flat-text files.
My question is, therefore: What is a suitable system for comments that stays as close to the Jekyll philosophy as possible (an ideally runs on gh-pages)?
I found several possible candidates:
Isso is a comments system which is looks similar to Disqus, it works with a SQLite database
Jekyll::StaticComments seems pretty suitable, but it means you have to manually add the comments from emails.
Are there any other options? If so, what would work with gh-pages, and what would work on a self-hosted Jekyll blog?
Here's another solution which is dynamic and uses JavaScript, but doesn't store the comments at a 3rd party provider:
This guy made a static website with Jekyll, but uses GitHub's issue tracker to create his comments.
He uses GitHub Pages to host his blog, and for each new post, he creates a new issue in his blog's repository.
Then, he uses JavaScript to get the issue's comments from the GitHub API and show it on the page.
Here's a blog post which explains how to set this up:
GitHub hosted comments for GitHub hosted blogs
Whether a javascript loaded, externally hosted comment system "defeats the purpose" of a static site is a matter of opinion.
For me, the point is to be able to host the site as entirely static resources, to take advantage of caching, CDN, distributed hosting, etc. I have seen huge advantages to that, and externally hosting my comments doesn't conflict at all.
That being said, it's an interesting question.
Isso (like Disqus) uses JS on the client side and requires server side software (Python based) that you have to manage, so it doesn't seem like this is any closer to your ideal.
Jekyll::StaticComments is in the right direction, but it's not supported on gh-pages if you have GitHub processing your Jekyll site (you can of course generate the static site yourself and then host it on GitHub Pages).
You also need a way for users to submit comments, and then to get those comments into a file that can be used by the generation process (not necessarily via email as you thought though).
So you need to take comments from somewhere, possibly email, possibly yet another third party hosted app (SimpleForm maybe).
And then you need to manually put them into the YAML site, regenerate, then publish, or, you can set up an automated build process for your site, which can pull the user submitted content when available and build and publish automatically.
Other than manually accepting comments through an off-site medium, you're going to deal with something dynamic somewhere.

i have an Educational website and i create always pdf files from my learning and ad them for download
but there is many learchers that download my files and reupload them somewhere else
i used google dmca but is there any way to Prevent from re-uploading my files?
One way is to use your .htaccess to prevent hotlinking, but even if you do that, you'll again have the problem that when someone views the document via an in-browser extension (e.g. Adobe Reader, Foxit PDF Reader), they can save it and you've lost control over what they can do with it. Or, depending on how you've set up your site, they can simply directly download it, leaving you again back at square one.
Hence, the solution is to bypass direct access to the document. And, there are a number of ways to do that, which varies based on technique and web software (platform) used.
However, since you didn't mention a particular platform or technology: you can use web controllers (MVC type controllers) to broker the dynamic viewing and displaying of the documents in tandem with a client-side tool / plugin to do the displaying for you (much like Scribd).
However, Scribd uses a proprietary Flash PDF viewer called iPaper, and while it isn't available for use, you can find many other alternatives on the web. One that comes highly recommended (there's even a tag on SO for it) is FlexPaper, an open source plugin that implements a client-side web-based PDF viewer - which I think will suit your needs perfectly (from here):
This project provides a light weight document viewer component
enabling PDF files to be viewed without having any PDF reader software
installed. This project provides both Flex library and stand-alone web
version.
Here are some demos of it in action:
http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/demo/
Sorry, by mistake posted partial comment. Anyway...
Why do you afraid of reuploading of your files ? Put links to original site into the PDF and get profit of this. More copies, more downloads, more popularity for your resource. If you indeed would like to make PDFs available from your site only, you have to hide files from users and provide some functionality to read them from your web site only (you can use existing sites of this type). That makes duplicating of your resources to be harder task, but be ready that many users reject to read it this way.

Before I start: I know this is a very broad question, but it is the best way I could phrase it, I have searched around a lot and can only seem to find generic explanations. I searched SO and didn't find much. I have also skimmed through some pages in the wordpress codex, and didn't find anything really useful.
I would like to create a simple database driven blog-style website, it will really only consist of stories (their title, date, content, etc), I just began teaching myself web development and my idea of how database driven websites work has proven to be completely wrong. I figured you would always need a file connecting to the database for each article, but the more I read I learn about mark up being generated on request, and so on, so the actual /year/month/day/article doesn't actually have to exist on the server, or that may be wrong, that is why I am here.
As I said I cannot find much on this topic that isn't a generic graphic of a server interacting with a web page. How does one go about creating a database driven website of this style? Are the files/directories not actually on the server but only created on a case by case basis as someone requests it? If so, then why can you type out a complete url and it be there with out throwing a 404? I have a lot of questions, really all I need is a strong explanation of how these sites work, code examples, and so on. Could someone explain how they work or point me to information (recommended articles, examples or books)?
EDIT: Please don't recommend a framework, I want to understand how these sites work and build one myself.
It's actually quite simple. Wordpress's index page calls wp-blog-header.php. That file calls for other files, and those files call for other files. It goes on for some time until all the contents of the page are actually loaded.
The databases come in when you start thinking about having users. Obviously the user information is stored in the database. Beyond that, Wordpress keeps post titles, dates, and other information in the database for easy loading later on.
Comments are also stored in the database. Each comment is associated with a number, and in the database, just like the posts, the dates/times as well as the usernames associated with the comments are kept.
Further exploration in the actual Wordpress files will reveal a lot of interesting features.
You might want to check out Django. It is an open source Python web framework that provides a lot of the functionality you are talking about. It also has a lot of very good high-level documentation with even a free e-book. It is centered a bit more on newspaper type sites than blogging, but most of the same principles apply. If you are new to python and like to use IDEs I would recommend checking out PyCharm. It has tight Django integration and makes for simple project setup and debugging.
Generally speaking, you'll use a framework that will take input parameters (year/month/day/article), run some code to fetch data from the database, and dynamically create the webpage. There isn't an actual .html file sitting on the webserver. One of the most popular frameworks to do websites like you're describing is Ruby on Rails, which makes it incredibly simple to do.
