I cannot find the property "branding" mentioned here:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:WebPlugin/
Is it available for axvlc object?
Regrettably, this option is available for the NPAPI plugin only. It was not implemented for the ActiveX control as of yet.
This would be quite simple to implement. A patch would be welcome, but we could also provide guidance.

I am reading Selenium documentation (eg http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp) and notice that some examples are not available in JavaScript. Is it due to incomplete documentation or is certain functionality not implemented in JavaScript binding? Shall I learn Selenium using Java binding or would any binding be OK?
I think they do support same functionality. I remember that I was trying to figure out what to do from vs options on our mvc project. Just a great product with bad documentation :)
You can find the Selenium JavaScript documentation in below link:-
https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/javascript/index.html
The above link contains all modules cover.
Additionally, they have put up all details regarding changes they have done version to version.
The question says it all really. If you are writing a WPF application, how are you integrating the application help? What is the state of play in mid-2013?
It seems that there is no clear answer to this from an afternoon with a search engine, but several options:
Write your own fancy tooltip based help (but where are you getting your data from?)
Use .CHM files and the Windows Forms help system (seems archaic to me).
Use Microsoft Help Viewer 1.X or Microsoft Help 2.0.
There is some confusion as to which is more recent / approved of by MS. It appear Help Viewer 1.X might be the recommended option over Microsoft Help 2.0. It doesn't help that the names are so similar...
What is the status of 2.0? Should we use it? Was it ever fully deployed?
Use a third-party product to author your help files and link to them somehow - DocToHelp/NetHelp, NetAdvantage on-line help, etc...
Furthermore, what XAML based mark-up / attributes are you using to provide the necessary context? What is the recommended method?
It seems surprising there is no clear path for supporting application based help in WPF.
My current preference is to use a third party help authorizing system to generate HTML based help.
We then use a WebBrowser to display this help as needed. The authoring system we use makes it fairly easy to extract out a single page from the main help (each "topic" is a single HTML file, and can be included with full contents or not as desired).
Granted, this definitely felt like a bit of a nasty hack at first - but once we wrote the basic plumbing (some attached properties for xaml to specify attributes for context location and add behavior to trigger help, etc), it's fairly clean.
One very nice advantage to this approach, however, is a single help system build works perfectly in all contexts - we can include the documentation online, expose it locally for use in a browser, and use it with context from within our application directly.
As Silverlight's future seems to be quite unsure, does anybody know if the PivotViewer control will still be maintained and updated?
I wish to develop an application based on this amazing control but I am not confident whether it will be maintained or not.
Is there any HTML5 initiative for developing such data visualization behavior?
Thanks.
I've been working on a HTML5 version of PivotViewer for a while now, you can see it here: http://pivot.lobsterpot.com.au/html5.htm.
This first prototype version doesn't have pan or zoom, but I do have a later version in the works that supports pan, zoom and tile templates.
I know this is an old question, but this control has been one of those awesome ones. The lobsterpot control is open sourced on github by openlink:
https://github.com/openlink/html5pivotviewer
if you're a budding dev for js, fork and improve :)
The short answer is that Silverlight as a whole will be "maintained and updated" for years.
There is so much talk of the death of Silverlight, but it and XAML are still top-tier Microsoft technologies. Nothing should stop you using the PivotViewer control and Silverlight in your application. If, in several years you're still working on the same thing and you feel support is lacking, cross that bridge then and reassess this decision.
There's an HTML5 version of PivotViewer around now by members of the original team that made the Silverlight version. It's sad that there is no WPF and WinRT version of it by Microsoft btw.
see links I've gathered on PivotViewer here
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kf7pir9gf0wwdwy/AABmsm5LDcGYoA7UDGH33tTha?dl=0
those were collected during the development of ClipFlair project (http://ClipFlair.net - see http://clipflair.codeplex.com for the source code). Choose the "Gallery" option to see Silverlight PivotViewer in use there inside a zoomable floating window container that can host other components too along with it.
I cannot find it for silverlight, its also not available as version on this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.obfuscationattribute.aspx
Just to be sure: is it not supported? Do they plan to add it in SL5 maybe?
The attribute is not available in Silverlight. However you could add an ObfuscationAttribute attribute implementation to your project. Some obfuscation tools vendors have ready to use files for this. I believe Eazfuscator.NET does, for example.
I am already familiar with Silverlight programming but not have any experience with GIS.
my role as silverlight developer is only to display existing GIS data.
If you guys have any experience with arcGIS silverlight control & api, what else do you think I must learn to be able to use it.
any learning reference could be helpful. thanks.
you don't need alot, you can dl the SDK from ESRI and then check out thier help site they have crap-loads of examples, both downloadable source and live samples (with the source code). If you have a license, you can use bing maps in the ESRI silverlight control--there are assemblies in the SDK for that.
as an aside, the SDK also includes the WPF assemblies as well.
It helps to have a basic understaind of the ESRI Map and Graphics object model for any of their API's (they all have similarities). The Silverlight API is much simpler than the Arcobjects API, but shares many of the same patterns.
If you are performing specific operations (such as distance calculations, map annotating, etc) there may be very specific concepts that will help. Can you post a question with more details about your goal?
I have made some different projects that used GIS data. I haven't tried arcGIS but used Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/maps/archive/2009/03/18/introducing-the-virtual-earth-silverlight-map-control.aspx) and a Silverlight component from ThinkGeo (http://gis.thinkgeo.com/Microsite1/MapSuiteSilverlight2/tabid/709/Default.aspx?adcampaign=Map+Suite+Silverlight+Edition&leadsource=Google&adgroup=Silverlight+General&adtype=search&keyword=silverlight+map&gclid=CIu976aW0Z0CFZ1h4wodwGsDsA).
I think that Bing Maps is really easy to work with and there is lots of help available online. Maybe that can help you with some starting resources to argGIS?!
Chris is right. The help site has enough samples. I don't have Silverlight skills, so I really struggled with it and I was pretty bad at it too. I think the silverlight learning curve is much steeper.
I tried to wire up GIS tools/buttons to a ribbon control. It sort of worked, a silverlight dev would do a better job:

If you just need to control visibility, between services. It's real easy. Or if you have one service, with layers inside that you need to control...that's easy too.
But if you need both, you will have to roll your own layer control. I wired it up to a treeview, but it doesn't look sexy. ESRI may have a better TableofContents control out now, they didn't when I was messing with it:
