Your server should serve OpenSearch plugins using the MIME type application/opensearchdescription+xml. Be sure that your Search Plugin XML is well formed. You can check by loading the file directly into Firefox. Ampersands in the template URL need to be escaped with & and tags need to be closed with a trailing slash or matching end tag. The xmlns attribute is important, without it you could get an error message indicating that "Firefox could not download the search plugin from: (URL)". Note that you must include a text/html URL — search plugins including only Atom or RSS URL types (which is valid, but Firefox doesn't support) will also generate the "could not download the search plugin" error. Remotely fetched favicons must not be larger than 10KB

It occurred to me that the title of this blog is going to mean something different to anyone who reads it. So I will explain what it means to me.A lifecycle describes the progression of something from its very conception until it no longer has any value. A lifecycle breaks down this progression into generalized stages so we can be smart about dealing with whatever it is based on where we think it is in the lifecycle. The most obvious lifecycle is our own from child, to young adult, to middle age, to old age. We make these distinctions in order deal with the realities of say, voting, retirement planning, and advertising. It's one lifecycle, but it is treated differently by government, banking, and marketing stakeholders, respectively.

design and build your application as a .NET client application, then assign the portions of the application to run on the server and the client tiers late in the development process. The compiler creates cross-browser JavaScript for the client tier, web services for the server tier, and communication, serialization, synchronization, security, and other boilerplate code to tie the tiers together.
