PDC and Silverlight - The Silverlight Blog

published 929 days, 1 hour, 39 minutes ago posted by

Alex 930 days, 41 minutes ago

Last week, we held our PDC conference on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Wash. We also streamed it online using Silverlight (with both live and on-demand sessions). Already, more than 100,000 developers have watched the event, and the feedback on the streaming experience has been phenomenal. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the sessions yet, I encourage you to do so: http://microsoftpdc.com (more)

How Windows Embedded Silverlight Tools works.. - Don's Mobile Blog

Alex 930 days, 51 minutes ago

WorkflowA designer creates a Silverlight-based user interface project in Expression Blend and passes this UI project to a developer. The developer creates a Windows Embedded application from a Expression Blend project. The developer writes and tests the code that implements the functionality of the application with UI resources from the Expression Blend project. If you wish to allow the designer and the developer to work on the application in parallel, they create a Designer/Developer contract that def... (more)

Asynchrony in C# 5, Part One - Eric Lippert's Blog

published 933 days, 7 hours, 58 minutes ago posted by

Steves 934 days, 2 hours, 28 minutes ago

The designers of C# 2.0 realized that writing iterator logic was painful. So they added iterator blocks. That way the compiler could figure out how to build a state machine that could store the continuation - the “what comes next” - in state somewhere, hidden behind the scenes, so that you don’t have to write that code. They also realized that writing little methods that make use of local variables was painful. So they added anonymous methods. That way the compiler could figure out how to hoist the loca... (more)

What’s Next in C#? Get Ready for Async! - Alexandra Rusina

published 933 days, 7 hours, 58 minutes ago posted by

Steves 934 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes ago

Today we announced the Visual Studio Async CTP, which shows one of the major features we plan to include in a future release of C# and Visual Basic. This feature makes development of asynchronous applications--which include everything from desktop applications with responsive UI to sophisticated web applications--much easier. The future release will introduce two new keywords to the C# language: await and async. The await keyword is used to mark asynchronous calls, so that you don’t need to create callb... (more)

Tutorial: Pic Viewer Revisited on the Async CTP - Jason Zander's WebLog

Mike 934 days, 2 hours ago

As Soma announced this morning, we’ve just released the Visual Studio Async CTP, a preview of the new language support coming in VB and C# to make it far easier to write responsive client apps and scalable server apps. You can find out more details by visiting the Async CTP site. For this post, I’m going to continue my Pic Viewer WPF demo from last year, updating it to show what you can do with the Async CTP. If you don’t yet have the Async CTP, you can get it up on the Download Center. Just install ... (more)

Making Asynchronous Programming Easy - Somasegar's WebLog

iftekharahmedamit 934 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes ago

Writing applications that effectively handle long latencies can be a daunting challenge. As software applications grow more complex, more developers are building software that accesses remote resources, performs longer computations, and processes large data sets. Tasks we used to think of as being quick now may take orders of magnitude longer to complete or may never complete. Without special care taken to manage conditions that may arise from these latencies, applications can become unresponsive or u... (more)

Update Configurations Without Replace With Enterprise Library 5 Fluent Configuration API

gilf 934 days, 12 hours, 15 minutes ago

I got a question today in an article I published about the fluent configuration API in Enterprise Library 5. The question was how to add a database connection string to an existing configuration during runtime. The person who wrote the question also published a specific solution which I refactored to a general purpose solution that I’ll show in this post. (more)

Steves 934 days, 22 hours, 18 minutes ago

Performance is the area that we probably spend the most time on in all our apps. Building apps on the phone is just way different than building desktop apps. Things that might be really minor optimizations on a desktop Silverlight can really make a difference on desktop Silverlight apps. Developing on the phone is an issue of economics where processing power is a scarce resource. You have to be conscious of the tradeoffs of using things like binding, layout controls, de... (more)

Configuring AppFabric Session Hosts Dynamically - Brian Ritchie

Nickolay 934 days, 23 hours, 2 minutes ago

Windows Server AppFabric has finally brought a performant, fault-taulerant session provider to ASP.NET. Originally, this technology was part of the Velocity Project. Very cool stuff. There are lots of articles out there about how to configure this new service via web.config. Now, I love web.config as much as the next person, but it makes my deployment process painful. Sure there is the new web.config transformation process, but it requires the code to ... (more)

Getting rid of the magic strings in a WCF Data Service Client - Pablo M. Cibraro

Nickolay 934 days, 23 hours, 4 minutes ago

Getting rid of the magic strings in a WCF Data Service Client One of the common problems that you might find when using the generated DataServiceContext for consuming an existing WCF data service is that you have magic strings everywhere for handling links (expanding, adding, deleting, etc). The problem with all those magic strings is that they make your code to compile correctly, but you might run into some error at runtime because you used a link that does not exist or it was just renamed. To give a... (more)
