The Silverlight 3 Toolkit ( July 09 )

Following up on this post , it’s very much worth pointing out that there’s a new version of the Silverlight Toolkit that goes alongside the version 3 bits. The Silverlight Toolkit includes a bunch of functionality that’s not present in Silverlight itself and...

The MSDN UK Podcast

Eric has been quietly experimenting with making a podcast to go alongside the UK MSDN Flash and he’s got to the point where he’s refined the format enough to want to share it with more people. The current show is show 6 and you can find a link to it up here...

Silverlight, WCF & TransportWithMessageCredential Security

This post is made from a train where I got bored and noticed an email in a discussion list folder that mentioned that Silverlight could do WCF authentication using TransportWithMessageCredential security. I’m not at all sure if this is a new thing and suspect...

Silverlight 3: “Bye Bye” Beta, “Hello” RTM :-)

I got hold of the release of Silverlight 3 today and thought that I’d take a look and see if I could spot changes from the beta ( rather than write a complete list of what’s new in V3 – that’s a different post :-) ); Firstly, I should say that I downloaded...

Just a quick follow up to all the people who were kind enough to donate in response to my post here in case you were thinking that I’d chickened out of the run and pocketed the donations :-) In the end, my run profile looked like this; http://www.nike.com/europerunning...

Windows 7: Experimenting with Multi-Touch on Windows 7 ( Part 5 )

I got around to installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 and so I thought it made sense to follow up this post by taking a quick look at what WPF V4.0 Beta 1 has to offer in the same area. As far as I know, Beta 1 does not have the low level WM_TOUCH style message...

Catching up on blog reading…

It was very warm and humid last night in Manchester, UK and so I sat up late catching up on a whole bunch of blog-reading that I haven’t done for a few weeks. I tend to use my blog-reader ( FeedDemon ) in the same way that I use Outlook. I go through everything...

Windows 7: Experimenting with Multi-Touch on Windows 7 ( Part 4 )

Following up on this post , I wanted to see if I could continue to use the interop wrappers in order to add inertia to my multi-touch manipulations. The intertia API in Windows 7 is really “just” a physics engine that you can use to add more realism to things...

Windows 7: Experimenting with Multi-Touch on Windows 7 ( Part 3 )

Following on from the previous post and the one before , it was fun to play with my own interop wrappers for a while but I figure it’s going to be a lot more productive to use the interop wrappers contained up at; http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/Download...
