Rob Relyea - XAMLified

Rob Update – Looking forward

I’m still spending time on .NET 4/VS 2010, but since January, I’ve also been doing more forward looking thinking. We have a long list of important things to do…I’m itching to engage on several fronts…lots of good stuff to do.

Fun times!

WPF: Feature Suggestions

• There is a WPF Feature Suggestions site now! You get 10 votes…don’t waste them before you see all the ideas. We’re about to ship what I think is a great WPF 4 release…and we’re taking this opportunity to connect with you, the XAML UI heads out there, to understand your wishes, needs and priorities. Vote early, vote often!

Tools: WPF & Silverlight Designer in VS 2010

• Great post about “Known Issues for VS 2010 RC” for the XAML UI Designer in VS.

XAML: XAML for Config

• Happy to see Craig Sutherland making more progress on CruiseControl.net using XAML for Config. “Handling Intervals – the XAML Way”.

Windows Phone 7 Series

• Looks exciting! Sounds like Mix will dig deeper. Charlie Kindel talks with the Mix folks…

.NET Framework

• Peter Marcu posted a great diagram answering “which version of .NET is built into Windows?”

Setup: WiX

• Excited to see Rob’s announcement. I, too, like numbers like 11, 22, 33, etc… Happy belated 33rd bday Rob…and I’m happy about your new day job.
• WiX v3.5 supports VS 2010 RC -- Read about the “Harvest” feature (point #3 in Rob Mensching’s post)

Data/Modeling

• Interesting to read feedback around this area: “What is left of Microsoft ‘Oslo’? What now with SQL Server Modeling? (Early 2010)”
