Zune now offers TV shows Alright, finally! A step in the video direction for Zune. Starting today Zune now offers a plethora of TV shows for download from the Zune Marketplace. Microsoft really should have been out of the gate way before Apple’s ITunes with this stuff because they already had all the content for the 360. These are pretty […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
A post on Silverlight 2’s layout and rendering I just wanted to link to this great post on Silverlight 2’s layout and rendering features. Both features borrow heavily from WPF, but there are also important differences. For one, unlike WPF, there is only one tree… no Logical vs. Visual. Also very cool mention of Silverlight 2’s rendering internals being many-core friendly so it […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
How to do SSL pass-through with WCF (a link for the MVP crowd) I sat in on a very informative roundtable discussion about WCF tips, tricks and pitfalls this afternoon here at the MVP conference. In that discussion one of the topics that came up was load balancing.

Off to 2008 MVP Summit I’m sitting in JFK waiting for my flight to Seattle to depart as I head to this year’s MVP Summit. The MVP Summit is always an interesting event. Sometimes there’s some new tech revealed, but it’s not like a PDC. Mostly it’s about networking and providing feedback to Microsoft on what they could be doing […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
Rob Relyea demos WPF 3.5 “Extensions” @ Mix Check out this Mix Session for all the skinny on the enhancements coming in the WPF 3.5 “Extensions” later this year. Unfortunately the Mix sessions site is designed quite poorly in terms of being able to provide direct links, but if you just go to there and look for session T11 – “What’s New in […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail

New WPF effects demo’d @ Mix, but no reveal of the API Well they demo’d the new WPF effects at the Mix keynote, but they didn’t show off any code. Guess that makes sense since it’s the keynote, but I’m really itching to find out how they were implemented. Anyone know where I can find some sample code??? Maybe I just need to wait for one of […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
IE8 Readiness Toolkit now available Microsoft has made the Internet Explorer 8 Readiness Toolkit available here. Note some of the links that go into detail are still not working as I write this, but the main page gives a glimpse of what we can expect. You probably want to check out the new developer features that IE8 will bring to […] Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInMoreRedditWhatsAppSkypeEmail
