For no reason whatsoever, I found myself wandering across to the “Bing Maps Silverlight Control Interactive SDK” today. It was a random moment when I probably should have been making myself a cup of tea but I’d seen the announcement on the Silverlight blog and I’d followed it through to the video that...
I was lucky enough to have a chance to chat with Aaron Skonnard at DevWeek last month and I captured a few videos which I thought I’d share here. Aaron (as you probably know) is a co-founder of the Pluralsight company and is a great trainer and technical presenter and was keynoting DevWeek with a talk...
I have this little command line app that I’ve been using to navigate my developer Mesh with the Live Framework SDK. It started out as very basic but then today I realised that I should really extend it so that you can use it something like; cd cloud list objects cd meshObject1 list objects and so on...
This previous post had me thinking that the WPF application that I built across these posts; Live Framework SDK - More Steps Live Framework SDK - Having a Single MeshObject Live Framework SDK - Adding a Silverlight MEWA would start to improve if I offered the opportunity to "invite others" to shared...
Following on from this previous post , the WPF and Silverlight code that I've been running tries to access a MeshObject ( containing a DataFeed of photos ) that the code itself creates at initialisation time. What I wasn't sure about at all was how that'd work if I wanted to make the same data available...

They're pretty introductory but might be helpful if you're looking to start out with Live Framework and want to save some time by re-using some of what I've already tried to figure out about the SDK. The screencasts are here ( note...
Following up from this post , I'd been playing around a little with using my Virtual Earth control and I realised that it wasn't really working :-) The main problem was that I was tending to call VEMap.Find() more than once at the same time and I'd read the docs and hadn't fully understood that when...
Following on from here , I thought I'd add a little bit of pushpin support to my basic Virtual Earth control for WPF. Essentially, I added a new property to the control called PushPins and each one of those is just a tuple of; { Latitude, Longitude, Text } to be placed on the map. This means that from...
WPF Version 3.5 Service Pack 1 has a new WebBrowser control as I talked about a little here; http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/mtaulty/WPF-35-Sp1-WebBrowser-Control/ and some of the nice things about the control are; It can load HTML from a Stream or a string - i.e. you don't have to hit the web. You can...
