During this year, that is a transition period from 32-bit to 64-bit. That should not be a problem in .Net application. .Net should be CPU Neutral. But sometimes, some.net dlls will call others native dlls, such as SQLite and some SQL special types. They are only for either 32-bit or 64-bit environment. Thus, please be aware of this issue.

I am building a component using JSON in Joomla. That is very hard to do that. So far, I built in a view.json.php in views folder. But I could not call it. Well, that is easy! You just need to add a parameter ,format=json, in the url.

The traditional form drop down list is not very good for JSON and that is very hard to create some advanced css layout for it. So, I choose to use jQuery dropdown list. Finally, I shortlisted jALDropdown to be my choice. It supports JSON and CSS layout too! The documentation is comprehensive too!

I used "Contains" method in C# whether the strings contains a keyword.
For example:

I am writing two Joomla components during these few days. I got a problem, how to reference a javascript file in a Joomla Component. I used to do it in a cowboy way. I hard coded the path in the template! I should keep it inside the component!

I found the documentation, in the framework, that is a method calls AddScript. It will add a script in the header section. That is nice!
