A small not very well-known new functionality coming with IBF 1.5 is the possibility to activate the IBF Information Window from a hyperlink in a Web page. IBF 1.5 comes with a new protocol handler. This protocol handler is not active when you finished the installation. You have to go to the Information Bridge Settings Manager (in your administrative tools) and activate it manually:
Thing to do now is to create a hyperlink in a Web page that uses the new handler:
<A href="ibf:v1/Microsoft.Solutions.SampleSolution.SR/ServiceRequest/ ServiceRequestDetails/Xsd.TicketNumber%20(urn-SampleSolution-Data)/ref?root=
TicketNumber&xmlns=urn-SampleSolution-Data&Id=SR178787">Show ticket SR178787</A>
People can now click on the hyperlink and bam! the information window is displayed in IE. Showing this to an audience always grabs the attention.
