Ok – so my TechEd presentation came and went and all I can say is that “I was pwnd by the demo gods!” Yup if something could go wrong it did. Does anyone else need a café express tee shirt “I was pwnd by the demo gods!”? I think I will wear one around for the next month.

 

I’ll be doing another presentation of the first part (IMHO the best part) on Thursday 6/5 at 11:00am in the Red TLC- Windows Booth.

 

This time I’ve paid some extra $$ to the gods and know the low key presentation will work great. Please show up!

 

Thanks,

Below is the link to the slide deck(s) for the two TechEd 2008 sessions. I’ll be posting the projects once Silverlight 2 Beta 2 ships this week (since they require Beta2)

TechEd Session Building a Silverlight Application Project

Finally I’m positing the Silverlight 2 Beta 2 project for my TechEd “Building Rich Internet Applications in Silverlight” talk. Sorry for the week delay I took off after TechEd for my daughter’s 2^nd birthday party (remember I said that I’m a proud dad?)

 

Here is the link to the project zip:

http://cid-3a5ca8204ec61147.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/TechEd2008-MarkRideout.zip

 

 

Two things to note:

1)     I removed the usage of the special “isolated storage” helper class but left the class in the zip file (not included in the project but it is in the directory). The isolated storage apis are a bit simpler from Beta 1 so the helper class really isn’t needed. I’ll post some more details about the iso-storage apis here in a bit.

2)     To use the navigation helper for web browser history navigation you must run the page from the ASP.NET project, not from the simple HTML page. The ASP.NET project is under the TechEd08Web project folder

Andrew Tokeley has a great post about work he’s been involved in called ButtercupReader – it’s a showcase of how Silverlight 2.0 can be used to build an application that blind and partially sighted folks can use to read digital books.

Hey all - Just wanted to let you know that I'll be turning off my Blog on 12/18. I'm no longer working in the developer platform area, so I don't have as much to post on framework stuff.

Sorry I never got to update the DataGridView Tree code or respond with updates!
