Purpose of dev-tech-xpcomWhat's the purpose of this list?
I used to think it was about XPCOM itself, basically for questions about
the code in xpcom/**.
However, that doesn't seem to be how everyone else uses it. In fact, it
seems to be about all coding questions that are somewhat Firefox- or
XULRunner-related. Basically what the platform or extension lists are
supposed to be.
Should we, therefore, delete this list/newsgroup? As it is used, it is
redundant.

Merging dev-tech-layout into dev-platformToday I found out that I had missed a post from David Baron on
dev-tech-layout, because I had no idea that this list exists. I think
dev-platform is a better place to have the conversation related to the
layout module (people are already having discussions about other modules
over there).
Does anybody have any objections?
Cheers,
Ehsan

WString class has methods to convert to long\floats.
The other way around,I guess, you'll have to use sprintf to populate
your string ...

UI dev tools/tech
Hello, I am newbie to .NET. I would like to know is there any tools or technologies in .NET world that will help me to develop a thin client (browser based web application) rapidly. I am looking something like drag n drop for UI components or some tags where I no need to worry about developing these components. I want to just use these tags or drag n drop them and concentrate on my business logic of getting data. Thanks for your help.--Vijay
Have you checked out Visual Studio? It is an IDE that helps you drag n drop controls on your page?RegardsBilal Hadiar, MCP, MCTS, MCPD, MC...

Merging dev-gaia and dev-b2g into dev-fxos--001a113ce93ebce35d051e4c0c73
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Hello people of Firefox OS,
After a discussion we have decided that the distinction between dev-gaia
and dev-b2g mailing lists is not enough to warrant maintaining two lists.
So we are deprecating both in favor of dev-fxos. So if you are subscribed
to one of the aforementioned lists, you will be subscribed to the new
dev-fxos list and we will shortly be decommissioning dev-gaia and dev-b2g.
Thanks!
Michael

Removing dev.tech.gfxI've just filed bug 685268 to remove dev.tech.gfx, with the intent being
that all such discussion should be happening on dev.platform.
This is how all the Mozilla graphics folk are operating already; we may
as well pave that particular path.

newbie questioni'm planning to writing an XPCOM component is javascript.
1. how does javascript know to call the NSGetModule()
method when a file is loaded. it always does it?
2. if i'm writing some code in c++, i assume i have to
compile it for different platforms. does this result
in different platform specific extension (.xpi) files or
is it one file and the loader figures out the right version
(i.e. subfoler) to load based on platform.
3. is there an online source for detailed docs on all
the components and interfaces.
thx.

dev-tech-crypto moderation changesSince its origin a few months ago, the dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org
list has been moderated, in an effort to keep spam out of the list.
The rules have been rather simple: mail sent by list members gets right
through, the rest goes into a moderation queue where it is reviewed
daily. The occasional on-topic message from a non-subscriber address
gets manually passed through, and the rest is discarded. Spam filters
(are intended to) recognize most spam and discard it outright, so that
the moderator need not review hundreds of spams daily to find the
occasional rare nuggets.

I get no response in dev.tech.csspage at http://www.mrkuhn.com should forward to
http://www.mrkuhn.com/default2.htm, works with IE but not firefox. if
anyone would let me know how to do a forward that's compatable for both it
would be greatly appreciated. I also use resizeable iframes, which work
properly for fitting with htm files but leave extra blank space on my aspx
pages. If anyone knows a fix for that it would also be a big help.
