May ASP.NET AJAX Futures CTP… wtf?

Soooo, ok, they released a new May CTP of ASP.NET AJAX futures. It’s got some new support in there for Silverlight related stuff now. Great, awesome, love to see it and totally understand they need to pimp the new platform. What has really happened beyond that though? I’m not seeing (m)any differences in the xml-script, bindings, controls and […]

Microsoft Announces Silverlight Streaming

Upload up to 4gigs to Microsoft’s network and they’ll give you back a URL that you can point to and present however you like in your own web site. Backed by Microsoft’s content network, you can be sure that if you’re Slashdotted or Digg’d your video will (hopefully) still be served up to everyone at full […]

Expression Studio Now Shipping

Just announced by Ray Ozzie on stage @ Mix ’07, Expression Studio is now shipping! Congrats to those teams! It’s a huge step forward for WPF/Silverlight because now we have a real tool for the designers to work in.

Silverlight to include “First Class” .NET Runtime

There it is. As I suspected, Ray Ozzie just anounced they are pushing out a “first class” .NET runtime environment with Silverlight that will allow you to develop using any .NET languages!!!! I’m waiting to hear details on what exactly “first class” means… will there be full BCL support for example? Update 1:53 EST: Wow. It’s a […]

Maybe I should have gone to Mix?

Sounds like it might have been a mistake to blow Mix off this year. Last year’s just didn’t seem all that compelling, but this year with Microsoft offering so many new web technologies I’m beginning to think I’m missing out. Well, guess I’ll just keep an eye on the Mix07 site. You can even watch the keynote live (starts […]

No JavaScript IntelliSense in Orcas Web Application Projects yet?

I can’t get references to work in Web Application Projects in Orcas. They seem to work fine under a regular Web Site Project though. Bug? I sure hope so… To check this out for yourself, create a Web Site and Web Application Project. Make sure you manually add a reference to System.Web.Extensions for the WAP […]

WPF/E no more, say hello to Silverlight

Well, you’ve probably read this some place else already, but I’m jumping on the bandwaggon since I think it’s a huge announcement. The technology formerly known as WPF/E is now officially called Silverlight. You can read all about it over here. I think this is a huge step for Microsoft… and one that’s going in […]

Zune 1.3 firmware update failing

So, I downloaded the Zune 1.3 upgrade, but it just refuses to instal the firmware. I’ve tried from my desktop, my laptop, rebooted those, restarted the Zune, etc. Just won’t apply and get nothing but a useless error message: It is not possible to change sync settings at this time. Try again later. I’m running Vista […]

When’s video coming to the Zune Marketplace?

Ya know, the other day before I left for the airport I downloaded a bunch of videos from Channel9 and synch’d them to my zune so I could watch them on my flight out to the MVP Summit. The night before, I had just watched a movie I downloaded from XBox Live Marketplace. As the […]
