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...

I delivered a session on “Modern Windows 7 Applications” the other week in London at a special developer event that we put together as Steve Ballmer was in town and offered to come along and get in front of some UK developers. Not an offer that we were likely to refuse The event was captured on video...

We were very lucky to have Glenn Block in the UK recently and he did a whole morning talking about the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) to a fairly packed room of around 120 developers on the UK Microsoft Campus. I was really pleased to be able to host Glenn but I also wanted to get the sessions...

I spent quite a lot of time with WCF Data Services (‘Astoria’/’ADO.NET Data Services’ as it was) in its first iteration. It’s a framework that I really like so I’m feeling a little guilty that I haven’t found time to completely revisit it as it becomes part of a ‘much bigger thing’ (i.e. OData ) and...

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.

We’re very lucky to have Glenn Block in the UK in July and on the 14th he’s going to be doing a half-day event at the Microsoft offices in Reading where he’ll be speaking about the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). MEF is a framework that shows up both in .NET Framework 4.0 and in Silverlight 4...

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 wanted to do a call out for the Client development day that we’re running as part of the UK TechDays event. This is a FREE event that’s running all day in London on the 15th April and it’s targeted at developers who are interested in hearing about client development with .NET Framework V4.0 and for...

The other day I had a talk to give which included a little around Windows 7 shell programming in .NET 4.0 Beta 2 and I hadn’t really looked at it so I took a few mins out to take a look at how you can program the Taskbar in Windows 7 from WPF in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I was really looking for a short...

This is what’s known as a “on the train” project :-) I wanted to get a version of Kaxaml that understood WPF 4.0 Beta 2 and so I spotted that the source was on CodePlex and thought I’d set about downloading it and seeing if I could get something going. I should probably try and contribute to the project...

This one’s just a link but an important link for anyone who’s heard that you can share assemblies between the Silverlight CLR and the full .NET desktop/server CLR. The CLR team has a blog post with the details; Sharing Silverlight Assemblies with .NET Apps
