Atlas Wiki VSI can now be downloaded

We demoed the 'Atlas' Wiki at PDC 2005 and ... yesterday we posted it fordownload !
Have fun exploring this sample app's source code.
thanks
-jhawkSounds like fun, checking now :)

Getting "Unknown stream header byte sequence" error when attempting to open the "ASPNETAtlasWikiRC.vsi".

Suggestion(s)?

Thanks,

Adam

The same for me aswell.

Which browser version?
You should be able to just click on the link to download and then choose "Open" when prompted to "Open" or "Save" in the browser?
Can you describe the repro steps?

I got my error this morning from my home PC..."I.E. v 5.x", I believe. I'll verify tonight.
Repro steps: I downloaded the file and selected "Save." Once down, I selected "Open" and got the error. I then closed all open windows (on the pc <g>) and tried again...same error. I then went to the file via explorer, double clicked it, and got the same error.
Feeling totally defeated, I opened this thread and sulked off to work to salvage the remainder of my developer's self-esteem. ;-)
That's pretty much all the steps.

Hey,
I'm using IE6.0.2900.2180.XPSP2.
After the file is downloaded (FileSize : 1.79 MB (1,882,320 bytes))
you can choose to open the file and an error window is thrown at you.
Visual Studio Content Installer:
"Unknown stream header byte sequence."
That all the info, I have meanwhile.

*FOLLOWUP*
My browser is I.E. 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Sorry,
But when do we get an answer on our error, or will the "ASPNETAtlasWikiRC.VSI" file be replaced with the one that works on our pc?
My browser version is: I.E. 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.040803-2158.
Hopefully you can help us, because I am looking forward to explore the Wiki Toolkit!
Thanks.
Just letting you know that we are still looking at this. It appears the the .vsi file may be getting corrupted somewhere between the download server and your local filesystem. Are you running an anti-virus program?
thanks

On my computer I have the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.1.0 virusscanner. But we also did the download with a pc without a virusscanner and transferred the file with ftp to my pc, but it also didn't work.
On the other pc there is also Internet Explorer 6.0 with default microsoft updates.

Maybe it's for WebDeveloper Express only? I had install project on my
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: WD Express
Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 76872-000-0000011-00123
Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005

I had the exact same problem

I think the problem was file corruption during download.

It may be a weird server setting, but I was using a download manager which I disabled and tried again. It worked afterwards.

The download should be a simple right click > save as or if there's any interruption or middle app, there will be problems with the file.

Downloaded, installed the .vsi and created a wiki site from the template. That went all very well. The site doesn't work however because of connection problems with the database. I looked into this of course and tried to attach atlaswiki.mdf in the app_data folder, which doesn't work because the atlaswiki_log.ldf isn't there. The aspnetdb_log.ldf isn't there either. As far as I understand sql server databases these files are essential and should have been included. If I am wrong here I'd like to know.

hansh, Which software combo are you using?

Developer express? SQL Express?

Also what version of ASP.Net framework? If you have ASP.Net 2 Beta, then you may have to remove that and update to the newest version.

Atlas Wiki VSI

Hi, after i downloaded and installed atlas wiki vsi file, i tried to create a new website, however, the atlas wiki template did not show as one of the templates. any idea how to fix this?

Try to reinstall it?
did you check everywhere in your new project... list of projects you can make, What are you using for an IDE?

Atlas Wiki Platform

When will there be a first technical preview of the wiki site shown at one of the Atlas sessions on the PDC 05?

Soon...

Atlas Wiki in VB.NET?

I apologize if this question has already been asked but are there any plans on porting the Wiki project over to VB?

Also, inthis postScott mentions there were to be some announcements regarding the go-live license the week of 2/5/2006. Have these announcements been made? If so, where?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I don't see the 2/5/2006 date mentioned in that thread. Maybe I didn't get my ... cups of coffee yet but I can read that it's rather going to be this spring.

Grz, Kris.

Thanks Kris,

I deduced that date by Scott's post date (2/2/2006) and his comment:

We are going to be making some announcements regarding Atlas timing next week. Specifically, we are going to announce a go-live license that will be coming this spring -- which will allow you to deploy applications using the Atlas CTP drops.

Just wish we all knew when we can start using this in a production environment!

Thanks again,
Ryan

Atlas Wiki Application Status

In a few other posts I've read that the Wiki application was hidden on the atlas website because it wasn'tcompatible with the newest release of atlas. I was going to checkout out the wiki mostly for learning purposes (i bought Foundations of Atlas - and most of Chapt 7 is about the Wiki app). But i don't want to crack open the Wiki code if much of it is out of date and/or no longer supported.

I have heard "we will update the Wiki in a future release" - what is the status of these efforts? I would wait if a release was expected soon or if someone has already updated the wiki app.

What were the fundamental problems with the Wiki app and the latest version of atlas? A few minor changes in code syntax or major architectural issues? I'm trying to avoid making the same programming mistakes myself.

Any information or direction is appreciated - Thanks in advance for your response,

Hey,

I purchased that book too and was looking for the wiki, i never did actually find it. Also, after attempting to work through many of those examples found in the book i found that the majority didn't work with the July version of Atlas that I have installed. Were you able to find updated examples online?

Thanks,

Kas

I found a download to the wiki application here -http://forums.asp.net/thread/1241581.aspx

The author does have some errata and updated code from chapters 3 & 5 on his blog -http://www.philotic.com/blog/?cat=3. Unfortunately i've still found a few problems with the latest code he has posted in his blog. I've also found a number of examples in Chapt 7 that do not run properly which he has not addressed in his blog yet (has no one else got to Chapt 7 yet? - j/k).

So after hours of debugging code from that book the last few nights I figured i would post my original question here - and try to see what i was getting myself into before crack open the wiki code – and possibly spend many more hours more debugging code.

Hi jkunkle:

Can you be more specific about the problems you've found? I'd be happy to post fixes and blog them.

Atlas Wiki

Hi all,

I read the book "Foundation of Atlas" and Laurence Moroney references to Atlas Wiki. This is a template that i like to download, but i can't find it. Is this template part of the new release (July CTP)??

Kind regards,

Hi,

it was a template created with a previous CTP, that is incompatible with the last one. It has been removed from the Atlas site and I think it hasn't been updated yet.

If you need it drop me a pm, I should have it somewhere in my archives...

Hi Garbin,

if its incompatible with the new CTP i can't use it. Thanks for you're offer and reply.

Kind regards,

Atlas Wiki

What happened to Atlas Wiki? I've been looking for it at atlas.asp.net and it seems it disappeared.

Hi Viktor,

The wiki was dropped from the atlas website because the current version didn't work with the newer Atlas release but you can still download it from:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=56430

We'll update the Wiki in a future release.

-Rich

So this was back in march and I'm still not seeing the wiki feature in Microsoft Ajax for .Net, has it been dropped entirely or will it show up again?

I have a big decision to make based on whether this will eventually be available or not. Is there anyone who knows and can say?

Atlas Wiki

I can't figure out how to access the Atlas wiki template. How does one access the download mentioned on a number of web postings? Or ... does it no longer exist?Are you trying to use it because you want information about it? you can go to http://atlas.asp.net
