creating content types in sharepoint through code ( c#)

The follwoing snippet helps create a content type dynamically using c# and the further create field types / custom columns  for teh same .Also the way to access already existant field links ,has been vividly explained by the code .

 

 
site=new Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite(“your sharepoint site url“);

         SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();         

 

 

    // Create new content type

    SPContentType documentContentType = web.AvailableContentTypes[“Document”];

    SPContentType newContentType = new SPContentType(documentContentType, web.ContentTypes, “Vini”);

    web.ContentTypes.Add(newContentType);

    newContentType = web.ContentTypes[newContentType.Id];

 

//To Create a custom Column

            string newFieldName = web.Fields.Add(“Region”,SPFieldType.Choice, true);

            SPFieldChoice regionField = (SPFieldChoice)web.Fields[newFieldName];

            regionField.Choices.Add(“Asia”);

            regionField.Choices.Add(“China”);

            regionField.DefaultValue = “China”;

            regionField.Update();

 

//To Add the Custom Column to the ConTent Type

SPField regionField = web.AvailableFields[“Region”];

    SPFieldLink fieldLink = new SPFieldLink(regionField);

    newContentType.FieldLinks.Add(fieldLink);

    newContentType.Update(true);

 

 

    // To Add an existing column to the Content Type

    SPField regionField1 = web.AvailableFields[“Address”];

    SPFieldLink fieldLink1 = new SPFieldLink(regionField1);

    newContentType.FieldLinks.Add(fieldLink1);

    newContentType.Update(true);          

 

 

           

 

   SPList list = web.Lists[“Document Library”];

   SPContentType documentContentType1 = web.AvailableContentTypes[“Ton Document”];

    list.ContentTypesEnabled = true;

    list.ContentTypes.Add(documentContentType1);

 

He’s got just one !!!

             Once upon a time there lived a person .mmm .. this would rather compound to be  a painstakingly banal begining  , not to mention the cliched subjection to boredom .How ever the profound poignancy of the situation ,that has been unfortunately ( to say the least ) encompassed by the solitary life of the person ,I am going to attribute words to , transcends by all means the ability of mere verbal discourse.Inspite or despite ,I am obligated in some way to continue.

    Standing on three legs , this person ,has well a lot to complain about .But words too , carried by ones tone ,would have the privilege of connotations ,if and only if received by entities other than ones own squalid reflection.Starting with this reflection , one might consider it necessary to mention the red juice dripping and meandering its way from the inception of his lips to the end of the conduit dividing his chin .Dishevelled hair ,course teeth ,deep rooted whilst patched  beard ,rags ,crutches and the ever so perennial rancid odour  would very vividly depict yet another begger on the streets of India,right outside well …another Ganesha temple .If you thought so , then I would defnitely be honoured to state that my exposition,so far , has very well appealed to your sense of better understanding .

      So this is about a begger alright .A begger it is ,but hence forth I should, if not would ,with all sense and awareness , refer to him as nayeeendrbaebu .’nayeendrrr what ? ‘was then  redressed  with ‘Narender Babu’ ,when he decided to process his words to a pace ,that my neurons could endure .Hence the one legged soul had bourn the words  “Narender Babu ”  for the past 35-40 years or so (a meek guess).

      With his appellation lucidly on the fore ,I guess its time to bring out the electrician,the painter ,the auto driver and well a son of a mother within  him ,to support the rest of our subject-” Narender”.Ironically ,these vibrant supporting elements in his days of yore, seem to have been subverted by the two vivid moribund crutches,that are on display today .Oops ! It might seem to be a sorry excuse , however whilst i was busy with my didactic review of this persons grievances, I might have forgotten to mention the inability of his right ear to function as it ought to .This right ear ,did insome way , defy him the covetted fortune of hearing an inbound train ,which eventually raced passed him robbing him of his right foot.

       Thus ,Narender babu was bereaved of his driving ,painting ,electrical acumen and most importantly his mother( who had starved herself to expiration ) .Wait !! the last sentence is absurd isnt it ?How can I not mention his legs and just rave about his abilities ,that he no longer has any use for? Well  , with the question appropriately articulated ,the answer could be nothing more but “reach out “.Ajay ,while enjoying the morning breeze , would very well jog past Narender ,without even paying heed to the presence of a being .Even if he does ,manage to cast a glanse , it would ferret nothin more than ‘ .. hmm .. a handicap ..’ .The ability to reach out and talk makes one nourish and establish a perspective ,that would have otherwise passed as yet another blemish on the posh streets of our residential milieu.

               The handicaps/abject poor have  names,to say the least , is some thing that most of us havent realized yet .Why ? I wouldnt know .How? I wouldnt know either .But the stollid Narender ,despite his misfortunes ,spoke about going back home early ,on this particularly bright sunday, to give his crutches a deserved rest and recline onto the baren floor of his solitary hut  ,instead of his mothers lap that fate had so cruelly extorted  from him.

        Well , the above was no mere outcome of any whim , but something that could be corroborated by Narender’s presence ,right outside the ganesha temple adjuscent to besant Nagar Bus terminous in Adyar .So if you guys  do run into him, do spare a second for a mere hello , as oddly ,Narender seems to be feeling a little too lonely amongst 7 billion of us .

 

JUmp DIVE 360 Smack …SOny CYber SHot DSC-W55

mmmm … the title above does sound irrelevant dosent it?.How much I wish it was , how ever to the gruesome advantage of my ever snickering Miss sluck,the above title apparently does seem to have some valid implications associated between the letters J and W55 :).
Let me commence this rendition with the introduction of a beautiful yet gory personality Miss Slutty Luck a.k.a ms sluck. Ms sluck was born on 5 th feb 1985 on a beautiful tuesday morning at about 4 Am .Actually i am not really sure about the inherant glory of that particular morning as coincidentally ,if not astonishingly, I got my first glimpse of a nurse on that very day. yes ! saying 5 th feb 1985 was my birthday would have been much easier ,how ever this account wouldnt have had the privilege of accomodating this ravishing being/ nurse, as i was told she was an angel by all means herself .
Anyways squeezing out the breath of my imagination , makes me believe that Ms sluck had taken myself being ensconced over the cotton sling like arms of this angel nurse, rather badly. It was then that she probably vowed to rankle my backside whenever and every time possible . Puzzling ,as I would imagine a nurse wouldnt really tittilate the jealosy of a to be Miss .However one never knows these days ,would they? Especially considering the likes of Ms sluck .Besides ,just for all those smart thinking readers , I decided to endow Ms sluck with beauty , just so that one wouldnt mistake her to be a blood sucking hound ,which she could very well have been if not for her curves and beatific looks(my mind , my picture :)) .

So far so bad … With Ms sluck appropriately portarayed ,we could move the reel corresponding to a more recent date ……….. yeah right there just below another of those vijay malya’s kingfisher models .
A thursday ,so it is .Well starting with a day before ,we guys ( 5 of us ) had decided to  embark on a trip in order to escape the bristling heat swathing the land ,tagged CHENNAI.(also namma chennai ,unnecessarily bringing IPL into the picture ).The trip apart from being addressed as a refreshing holiday , also had an educative element lobbying around with it .Yes!Fighting fire with fire was something we had employed in the literal sense .Well, in this case it was more so ditching heat with excessive heat : ).

    A  trip to wayanad would have been haven at any other time , how ever the headstrong five thought otherwise .We also thought missing the bus to bangalore ( which was an enroute stop ) to be something of a organ displacing experiance .In some ways it was, as the substitute van did make my rear end want to take over my face ( no offence meant, wat so ever, to the rigid seats with more so of a push front than a push back ).( real reason for missing the bus, left out, to prevent the implosion of the earth along with the brains of the sensible 7 billion populace( leaving out the famous five of course) )

    How ever despite the above and a heroic battle( insinuation) the five of us did manage to have our mouths torn apart ,with the white of our teeth reflecting the light required for the cameral films to capture . These savoured pictures that froze us in time were effected thanks to the venerable services of ninja s N95 and my cybershot ( yeah the one in the title ). We did manage to leave bangalore, with people wondering if brushing time with white paste leaking out of our mouths was credible photograph material .How ever the pictures, much to the dismay of the onlookers ,did manage to bring out the the proud warriors in us who looked prepared to take on the world with searing colgate swords and creamy pepsodant spit bombs .

    Now bangalore ,then bus , back pain , rear end wanting to come up again and hail mysore .Yes it was at mysore that ninja had arranged for a sumo to conclude our travel to destiny ( wayanad the hill station ).I must say, much to the agony of Ms sluck , who by the way was residing in the exhaust pipe of the sumo contriving to strike, the ride to wayanad was blissful by all means .The dense forest on both sides were beautiful and an artist would have dabbed on his palette instinctively . How ever we had decided to imbibe the natures glamour by drawing down the windows and cruising with dhoom 2 songs .”Crazy kiya re” was definitely apt ,especially considering the neat roads with greenary laden on both sides of its lattitude .

    Blobby ,an aspiring photographer for a day ,had my cyber doing his errands/pics.Sporting a “what does this button do” look all over his face , he was clicking away to glory with the cyber ,a lil bit here , one over there ,twist over here and upside down ofcourse  ( blobby u r a good friend ).When the speedo meter hit 80 ,with “crazy kiya re” playing for the n th time, I spotted a freppe tea bar / nair tea stall with jackfruits . The cry halt was followed by , well … a halt ( its not like we were in a movie guys ).

    The four of us hopped out of the car and sprang onto our feet leaving behind himesh reshmiya subjecting the speakers to its own destined agony( by then the song had changed ) .Blobby, while attempting to escape the ooooooooo from the vaunted reshmiya nostrils ,apparently found holding the  camera and jumping out of the vehicle to be two chores  too many .Hence he called out to ” why me” , and thrust the camera with its obtrusive lens onto my unsteady palms .Well it was then that the wily ,conniving ,stealthy babe , Ms sluck   , jettisonned out of the exhaust pipe and knocked out the hapless cyber shot.Thus Cyber  witnessed the wrath of  natures yet another mystique/marvel -GRAVITY .yes! Gravity and sluck apparently had ended up doing a lot more than usual at their last tryst ,which resulted in sluck delivering her offspring right there with the cyber fidgetting over my life line .Mr Rotten Gravity was born then and there ,much to the agony of the cyber .Then history recalled the words DIVE ,sommer sault ,360 and smack.The smack , with my eyes popping out , I must say, was  definitely the first cry of baby Rotten. Family of three ( Sluck ,Gravity  and Rotten ) brings down Cyber could very well have have been featured in wayanad evening  paper , should the paper decide to exist ,in the first place .

         With so on and so forth taking the story to  the week after , I decided to take the reeling cyber to Sony service station .The maxim ” U dont become a doctor until u kill a 1000 patients ” sure was claiming its stake with doctor Sony man resounding the words “only a miracle can save your Cyber “.A momentous 11000 Rs was cited in the quotation to bring cyber back into playmate condition. Well, cyber must move on, is some thing that i had to come to terms with then and there, as 11000 probably would fit better with bagging  a next gen click product than putting up slings and ventilators for the needy Cyber ( RIP CYBER – loved ya  ).

 The above rendition inspite of  making elaborate use of your time , if not productive, would have to conclude its verbosity as the title ,by all means , was stretched beyond what it could stomach .Thus the abrupt culling of the storyline must be pardonned , on mere grounds of the inconvenience the title of this blog has already endured .

COmiNg uP

The rest of wayanad(blobby’s escapades ) 🙂 

Untill futher notice …..

Sharepoint Portal creation failed at 52 percent /48 percent

This post essentially is to bring out an issue i faced during the installation of sharepoint server 2003 (MOSS) .

The MOSS 2003 that i wanted to install is a stand alone server with MSDE .

In brief i ll highlight the stages involved in insatalling MOSS 2003

pre-requisites

windows 2003 server ( std or enterprise edition)

1) windows server 2003 std or enterprise edition with SP2

2) setting the windows components or install the following system components

    Application Server with the following components

    a)Microsoft ASP.NET

     b)Enable network COM+ access

     c)Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) with the following components:

              1)Common Files

              2)Internet Information Services Manager

               3)World Wide Web Service with the following components:

                            a) World Wide Web Service

               4)SMTP service

                5) world wide web service with Active Server Pages.

note: make sure the from page 2002 server extensions is not selected .

3) Dot net frame work 2.0 

4) run the MOSS 2003 setup file,which installs  essentially insatlls 3 components

      a) The sharepoint portal server 2003

      b) Sharepoint services 2.0

      c) MSDE if required ( since i had used it )

afetr the completion of the insatllation it would automatically direct us to the portal creation page.

how ever at around 48 percent or 52 percent of portal creation  i had encountered portal creation error.

The work around for the above error is

a) install SPS2003SP2-kb887623-fullfile-ENU.exe available at the following link

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=171DC9A7-B4BA-4759-BD64-6B7D851A97EF&displaylang=en

and

b) install WSS2003SP2-KB887624-FullFile-ENU.exe available at the following link

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9C552114-DC9A-43EE-9281-B080B7C280B4&displaylang=en

Redo the portal creation from the sharepoint portal server 2003 central administration site .

This time the marvel bestows itself onto a fresh portal site ,where the music of sharepoint features resonates 🙂 😀

APPLE -StEvEn P JoB’s clash with Atari and hewlette-packard

“SO WE WENT TO ATARI AND SAID, ‘HEY, WE’VE GOT THIS AMAZING THING , EVEN BUILT WITH SOME OF YOUR PARTS , AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT FUNDING US ? OR WE ‘LL GIVE IT TO YOU. WE JUST  WANT TO DO IT .PAY OUR SALARY , WE ‘LL COME WORK FOR YOU .’ AND THEY SAID ,’NO.’ SO THEN WE WENT TO HEWLETT-PACKARD , AND THEY SAID ,’HEY , WE DON’T NEED YOU. YOU HAVEN’T GOT THROUGH COLLEGE YET.”

guess the above says a lot and more …..

IT and 2008 ( a thrilling battle ahead )

well the title should have given some sort of a picture regarding the next set of words … well it all started with an article that i had come across in The Hindu regarding the IT industry and its grapple with the current market scenario ..Well being a software professional myself i am in certain ways appalled by the givings of the article ,as manifold insights were touched upon,which directly or indirectly affected the giants in the industry .The various aspects that were expected to bring this giant( IT industry ) down, ended up wizzing past without a scrape, while a lot of other factors actually led the giant to change course .In the words to follow i will be quoting , excerpts from the article interspersed with my own understanding of the scenario .

  To start with ,the appreciating,would incite a lot of perspectives ,depending on the understandings of the interpretor .One sector would see the rupee strengthenin and go right out in bursting crackers ,to theatrically herald the shining of the India of tomorrow . On the other side we would have the IT giants sitting around with their hands over their heads and counting their losses .Well India being a diverse country has never been short of excitement ,however one might at times  seem to wonder what exactly would result in an equitable environment for all.

  Lets leave the section of India bursting crackers out of this article ,and look more into the other side,which is the woes of the IT industry.To start with 2007 has not quite been the best year for the IT boys.Cutting margines ,underperforming quarter results,tightening their belts et all constitute a major sector of the discourse for this year for them .Now what is the picture in the frame got to do with all this ?For one  as we all would  know by now that the invoice of the transactions being stamped in dollars is the front runner as far as the cause of the corellation of apreciating rupee and IT profits are concerned .Now coming to think of it ,one would see that an appreciating ruppee is caused essentially due to a booming economy.Now the IT prowess could claim to be a good part of the cake as far as the indian economy is concerned ,and as far as inflows of foreign currency is involved .Thus further fomenting more FDI’s and and more inflow of the green bills ( dollars).There fore putting it in lay terms IT ( in some way )->appreciating ruppee ->IT woes .

mmm .. well the above observation might seem a bit off the rhetoric but does hold some factor of truth.Well if thats the case ,what exactly could we attribute to the underperformance of the IT majors in India in 2007.Could it be that they were just not prepared enough for this sudden turn of events ( which in some way they were resonsible for).

Well ,now i would be quoting some of the statements by influential people in the Inidan IT sector ( excerpts from  the Hindu article).

“the rising rupee is likely to hit Indian mid size software providers because of their thin margins .margins are impacted to the extent of 0.5 to 0.6 percent for every rupee increase against the dollar,depending on the business mix” official of satyam computers.

“As part of the strategy to offset the impact of the appreciation of the Indian rupee ,we are increasing our employee utilisation levels ,and we were able to successfully further increase our global utilization rates from 63 to 65 %” official of cognizant technologies.

 There was also a mention of sub prime crisis ,how ever this crisis has not quite lobbied around the It garments and so havent quite affected their appetite drastically ( perspectve also in consonant with TCS perspective).

Chandrasekharan from cognizant also states that 92 % of their clients do not expect their overall budget to decline in 2008 .Now thats mellifluous isnt it :D.

What exatly is new about the giants approach to this twist of events ?

for one the giants have been working on unconventional business models ,which is evident from the aqusitions made by the various giants during 2007( as rightly put forth in the Hindu article).The highlightable points in the aquisitions mainly include long term contracts( to the effect of 7 to 10 year contracts ) and aquisitions of property or development centres in europe ,souh America.,EMEA and china.

Another area where these It majors have been vesting importance is in the development of IP based products sector apart from the service oriented sector.Innovative new solutions and niche solutions concerning experties in newer technologies has also been the need of the hour.Thus these IT firms seem to be taking the road ,which rests their head quarters in India ,and champion the diaspora of numerous development centres abroad .Thus “global players ” will be a phrase we would be seeing a lot in the papers of 2008.With the above said ,the prospects for 2008 seems to be pretty bright and the big shots in the giants( IT industries) seem to be pretty optimistic and rest assured .So this is considered more to be a period of evolution where in  the industries would have to adapt to the changing markets and come out as survivours to once again carve the markets of tommorrow ..

Until then ……well fingers crossed :d

The IPOD touch and my brains

Mmmm . not that you guys havent heard enough already ,however the marvel of a product never quite gets to witness its ebb,be it raving about is pros or brooding over its quirks … In any case the ipod touch definitely did manage to steal my thoughts this morning especially after I had managed to absorb a ,some what consumate ,review yesterday…..

Frankly I dont remember much of what i read how ever there were certain exhilarating aspects and certain other glaring drawbacks that did manage to stay back and work the neurons in my brain…… to start with i was totally in awe with its brilliant looks and the way apple just about blatantly jettisoned their iconic click wheel and got in place the touch screen that seemlessly assumed most of the space over the classy tablet.Oh yeah there is this one black corner that plays host to the newly incorporated wi-fi antenna … So by now we should have come to terms with the fact that the ipod touch , apart from being a music tablet has nothing more in common with the other ipod (now subordiante : )) classes.
The other fascinating aspect is the concept of cover view which truly is astounding ,especially when one actually comes to experiance the awesomeness within a palm size device.Yes ! the cover view sequesters the sectored display of music in the form of cd racks, which if selected would display the songs to tap and play ….this cover view would obviously entail a lot of detailed work especially those dealing with artist names , album information et all.How ever guess a lil bit of extra time to consume a delicious piece of cover view would find its worth more often than not .

Oh yeah ,how could I have not mentioned the rubber band effect yet ! scrolling through the playlist with a flick of the finger would be the obvious resort ,one would guess,considering the touch mode that the touch works with . However the techies at apple decided to do things a wee bit cooler by gettin in the rubber band effect where in the intensity of the flick would determine the extent of scrolling and as it slows down towards the end the list would bounce back of the edges .How cool is that :)… If the songs dont keep you entertained enuf already,fooling around with this surely would :)..

Mmmm disc mode … this is sadly a negative that i just remembered … there is no disc mode so no fiddling around with the device in explorer or throwing in our indispensible rubbish into the pod .Now thats a definite score for the subordinates isnt it ? so transporting files .. out of the question guys …:(..look else where ..
Now getting onto wi-fi .. now thts a definite woo from the Touches side .Along with a player we got ourselves an on the move internet tablet … The device hosts a safari browser that does not support flash though ,so certain sites might miss out ,however the very thought of having the WWW within the grasp of ones palm,and on a brilliant display of the Touch screen, surely gets one intoxicated. Zooming in and out accounted for by gesticulated actions of pinching and release respectively..
oh yeah the keboard is also incorporated as on screen one which one is bound to get used to with usage.
mmmm What else do iremember … no Ctrl-C Ctrl-v,No physical volume controls ,limited space models (8Gb and 16 Gb) and pricy … oh yeah its a lil priced up as the 16 Gb model costs around 23000 Rs with bill .. well they dont say pretty women and classic gadgets weigh on yer pockets for nothin . do they ? :)…
guess thats about all that i can squeeze out from my head for the time being .The above is not exactly a review but guess i touched upon certain aspects that an anxious buyer would look for ..especially since each of the above details managed to latch on to my senses , i would think attribute some relevance to it…
Bottom line … If u got it .. savour it .. else go get it … if not atleast desire it … 😀
so long … 🙂

Working with registry entries using DotNet

Recently i had to create an automation tool which entailed the checking of registry entries using dot net …
one stage of the automation required me to check for the presence of a particular entry in the registry ,and if not then carry on with the installation of the particular setup file …

i came across this particular link http://www.dotnetspider.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?ArticleId=1406 which i used extensively to carry out the checkin of registry part .

public string Gettest()
{
string ds = null;
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(“SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\.NETFramework\\v3.0”);
if (key != null)
{
ds = “the entry exists in registry”;
flag = 0;
}
else
{
return (RunExe(“c:\\code\\DotnetFramework\\dotnetfx3setup.exe”, “dot net framework 3 install”));
}
return ds;
}
the above snippet is slightly modified version of a fuction in the mentioned link …..
also after checking the registry for the framework it also runs a setup file if it is not present …
the runexe function essentially implements the following statements

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path);
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();

where path contains the path of the setup file ( in this case dotnetfx3setup)
the system.diagnostics.process.start can be used to run exe s or batch files …

Wi-fi as in Wi-fi alone ( for u , me and all)

well …. Wireless fidelity or more so commonly known as wi-fi might seem to be something of a daunting usage when one is not very sure about what exactly dangles around this technology.Well in this blog post i have resolved to eschew using any of those words which others might not be aware of or those which i myself am not aware of :).
so getting back to wireless-fidelity …. well ahem wi-fi ,now one would tend to wonder ,why so much of a craze or frenzy is suffused within these four letters and a hyphen?why are people digging holes into their pockets to get their surrounding in sync with this technology?
first and foremost , people arent quite digging holes into their pockets in order to enter this wonder world ,how bout that .. What if just 4000 odd rupees would suffice to get the utmost pre requisite inorder get the daunting four letters linked up with our house hold?
Well to begin with WI-fi is essentially getting rid of wires and using all the juicy wifi enables devices that range from brilliant to awesome widgets to make our lives all the more wontechful .This does in many ways give rise to a consumate paradigm shift where in one way would no longer require one to base ones life according to the relative position of his desktop at home.A wi-fi enabled zone is like a unique world on its own where various devices are attributed a soul each and are allowed to communicate inorder aid their almighty lord ( us :))
Moving on to answering a common question .. how do i set up this wi-fi environment into my house ?
well all it requires is a wi-fi router ,a broadband connection and a good load of wifi enabled devices ( to have fun and more ).This wireless router is essentially the heart of the environment to which we connect the broad band connection from the ISP.This router essentially contains 2 IP’s .
1) internal ip
2) external ip
The external ip is the one from the ISP which is used to connect the router to the matrix world( my way of callin the world wide web :)) while the internal ip is the one which is used to connect to our wifi enabled marvels .
The router thus acts like a gateway which conects our small network shared by disparate devices to the world outside and beyond
This router comes in various models ,however the one that we would opt for for our homes would become available for just abour 3500-4000 Rs. 😀 ( thats how close we are to Wi-fi.

Now that i have eased the roughage into ur system ,guess its high time we start talking fun.
Well first with the router all good to go we would find our selves satring at our old desktom which in many ways seems anachronistic with the subject of this article.How ever as per better understanding old is gold if we could just clean it up a bit :). So all we have to do in order to get our desktops to be wifi enabled is to plug in a wireless PCI wifi card into a free PCI slot or we could just temporarily disconect our dvd/combo drives to give way for this new marvel.

Now in a wi-fi environment each device would bag a DHCP ip from the router which identifies the various souls in the 7th world ( wi-fi world).
now moing on to the various devices which are definitely worthy of a mention are :
( i am jus tgivin a brief mention for further deatils feel free to contact me or use the matrix world :))
1) the music bidge ( my drool device)
This is essentially a device which lets us play music from our computer using our system some where close to being far away from our somputer :).
Well this music bridge is to be connected to our amplifiers ,or speakers or music systems .Any digital data processed by the sound cards in our sytem is sent as a digital stream through the wi-fi network .This digital data is then converted to an audio format which is then gobled up by our music systems .Isnt that luscious.
2)wireless printers
3)wireless cameras /inetrnet cameras –
This could actually be controlled and used from across the globe through the internet … 😀
4)
Pinnacle PCTV To go ( cable tv without cables )
5) et all 🙂

For a bystander lets just get a glimpse at how light our pockets might get due to this
( with very minimal details and apprioximated)
1) wireless broadband router -around 3500-4000 Rs
2)wireless music bridge -6000 Rs
3)Wireless PCI Wi-fi card 2000 Rs
4) wifi enabled phone (UR WISH :D)
Well this was just a brief intrductory insight into how close wi-fi actually could get to your world …. so feel free to post back about anythin regarding anythin …. 😀
also get you hands on the nov version of chip magazine which contains a good load of information regarding Wireless Fidelity ( guess i could use this now )
😀
