I was writing a short talk about the Async CTP and as part of that, I wrote this little WPF form which goes off to my local web server to grab an image and display it; produces when you click on the “Get Image” button that that image is just served up by my local web server and accessed with an HTTP...
This one’s just a bit of “fun” for a Friday afternoon ( depending on how you define “fun” ). I was writing some asynchronous code yesterday in JavaScript and I then had cause to duplicate it in .NET using the await support of the Async CTP which I’ve tried to write about before ( generally and combined...
At the UK TechDays online conference last week there were a number of sessions around Silverlight and Windows that I wanted to provide follow-up resources on here. Session: Modern Windows Applications Visit Develop For Windows Download the WPF Ribbon Control and get the information on it here Download...

I did a short session on the Open Data Protocol (OData) last week at the NxtGen User Group and I thought I’d share the slides here. There are quite a few builds/animations in that slide-deck so I’d suggest that downloading it will produce a better experience than viewing it on SlideShare.
I’ve been holding back on moving to Visual Studio 2010 RTM because I wanted to keep all the bits that I had on my machine working including the Windows Phone 7 preview developer bits handed out at MIX10. But I was finding it more painful to stay there ( because e.g. I had products demanding .NET Framework...
I talked a little at DevWeek about C# 4 and Visual Basic 10 and, in the C# section of that talk, I talked about optional parameters and named parameters coming into the language. I presented an example class something like this one; class P e r s o n { public void W a l k ( ) { W a l k ( 1 ) ; } public...
NB: This comes from experimentation rather than being some kind of C# guru so apply a pinch of salt to anything and everything and I’ll correct if someone tells me I messed up :-) I’m also not sure I can add a lot around this dynamic feature in C# 4 but I’ve been thinking about some demos around it today...
Another experiment with C# 4 and the “dynamic type”. I was playing with this code below and wasn’t 100% sure what’d happen at the point where we hit the 2 lines that I’ve flagged with a * below. That is – if I’m doing dynamic method resolution and I pass a “dynamic parameter” then are they treated as...
I’ve been thinking a little this week about C# 4.0, VB 10 and the new dynamic abilities. That is, what happens when I do something like; static void M a i n ( string [ ] a r g s ) { d y n a m i c o = G e t S o m e O b j e c t ( ) ; o . A d d ( 1 0 1 ) ; } static object G e t S o m e O b j e c t ( ) ...
