This question probably has a very easy solution!
At work we're using Exchange 2010, and a co-developer insists that the web services only bring back a range of appointment slots that are 30 minutes long.
We really need the times to be in increments of 10- or 15- minutes, but he maintains that there is no way in EWS that the increments can be shortened.
Is this true? and if not, how can the time increments be shortened?
Are you talking about using the GetUserAvailibility operation in EWS ? You can adjust the Interval using the MergedFreeBusyIntervalInMinutes property see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa580719(v=exchg.150).aspx . The default is 30 minutes but it can be between 6 and 1440 minutes.

Are there any expiration period for this Power Automate - Approvals when the user taking more time to submit the decision?
I tried with some trial data but, need to get an idea from an experienced person.
Flows have a timeout period of 30 days.
You can refer to this documentation for more information.

If your approval is likely to run for more than 30 days, read this article.

I came across the offer by Heroku that says that I can receive free 450 dyno hours for just adding my credit card. I was wondering how the free hours are added. Are they like the standard 550 hours, i.e. added every month or is it just for one time?
Also I just want to run one dyno and so having 1000 total hours per month would be more than enough. So if they add 450hrs/month with the credit card, does that mean I can run my dyno infinitely without being charged at all?
Yes, you get 1000 dynos per month after adding credit card. I have the same.
Yes, correct you will get 1000 dyno hours once you verify your identity with a credit card. For a single APP they are enough but in case you want to add more APPs, allowed dyno hours will be sum of hours consumed by each APP. Initially 550 hours were provided to keep the APP active for 75% of time i.e. 18 hours (18*30 ~= 550).
How do I make the Jfxtras Agenda component treat the following two appointments as non-overlapping? Also, is there a way to increase the snap-to-grid granularity of the grid from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, to mimic Outlook? With the 5 minutes precision, it is very difficult to create back-to-back appointments, without making them overlap, or creating gaps between them.
Appointment 1
Start: 2pm
End: 5pm
Appointment 2
Start: 5pm
End: 9PM
I fixed the consecutive appointments rendering issue, the new snapshot should work ok. As for the rounding, I will add a CSS stylable property where this can be set later today.
I simply modified the appointment callback. To make it so that only 15 minute segments could be used to make appointments I used dateTimeRange.getStartLocalDateTime().minusMinutes(dateTimeRange.getStartLocalDateTime().getMinute()%15)
You can use this for the end time as well, and from then on you will only get appointments made with 15 min intervals. Just change the 15 to change the interval. The only potential downfall is that you could frustrate users if they shoot too low when dragging, but that could be solved as well with a simple if statement.
I've been trying to create notifications that happen on a weekly basis - for example, every monday at 8am.
I've tried to use a recurring toast for this - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465417.aspx - but realized that the recurrence parameters are more designed for a snooze functionality, with a maximum delay of 60 minutes, and a maximum repeat for 3 times.
Is there a suggested workaround for this?
Is there a best practice for such a use case?
Thanks!
You're right that the recurrence on scheduled toasts is designed for snooze. Unfortunately, the API doesn't provide a way to show the same toast multiple times on a fixed schedule.
You'll need to manually create a ScheduledToastNotification each time you want it to be shown. In your example, you might create and schedule out a toast a week for each Monday at 8 AM.
There are couple of apps at the Windows Phone Store which are automatically updating phone lock screen by a custom interval, lets say 1, 2, 4 or more hours.
I did some search over internet to find some articles or best practice to implement custom update interval, which is bigger than 30 minutes but without any result.
Maybe you know some code snippets or reference on articles ?
Thanks in advance!
As you have already found, the periodic agents are invoked once every 30 mins. However, you can simply do nothing until your desired update period has passed then execute your update.
You already have access to your app's isolated storage from within your background agent. You can simply store a counter in some file to track the time that has passed and once it meets your requirement you can execute your update and reset the counter.
