For quite some time now, we’ve had a somewhat weird split in the platforms we support. For WPF and Silverlight, we moved to a common set of underlying libraries way back in version 10.1, two years ago. As part of this restructuring we decided to take...

This has come up a couple of times, so it’s best I clear up what we’re doing about supporting Visual Studio 2010 before we release DXperience v2010.1 (and that is so close I can taste it all the way over here in Colorado from Glendale). I think it’s best...

The first beta of DXperience v2010 vol.1 has just been made available to our DXperience customers, and so I’d like to take this chance to talk a little about one of the major impacts of that release: the merging of our Silverlight and WPF controls to...

Way back in October last year, I discussed the .NET 4 Client Profile , the cut-down .NET Framework that will be the default framework target for new solutions in Visual Studio 2010. Since VS2010 is less than a month away from release (at least for MSDN...

Yesterday TechEd EMEA in Barcelona kicked off with a keynote by Jason Zander all about the just announced Visual Studio 2010. It's still quite away from being in beta or even being released, but it's already an impressive piece of software. One of the...
