Silverlight “outside the browser”
The two PDC2008 keynotes were quite interesting. Sure, the first one about Windows Azure and cloud computing was a little dry, and while is quite hard to wow audiences with architecture, infrastructure and backend services, they could have done a much better job by regularly demonstrating the value to developers and end users (See Apple’s [...]
Windows "Cloud" and Office everywhere
I attended a TechNet event in London today where Steve Ballmer gave the key note. The whole event was called “Technologies to Change Your Business: How Customers Are Implementing s Strategies” and while we were bombarded with Hyper-V, SQL Server 2008, Silverlight and WPF two tech tidbits that I took away with me were
The next [...]
Manic Miner in Silverlight
Manic Miner and Jetset Willy are two ZX Spectrum games that were emblazoned into my hippocampus in the early to mid-eighties.
What joy to find that Pete McGann and Richard Costall have created a Sliverlight version of Manic Miner! Have a play here:

Setting default browser in Visual Studio
When I switched to Firefox 3.0 as my default browser, VS started launching Firefox for debugging. But for some crazy reason I wanted to keep IE as the debug browser.
Usually this wouldn’t be too difficult, except that I’m using ASP.NET MVC, and for some reason the normal method isn’t available.
The normal method is [...]
Duplicate controller types found for ‘home’
I’m getting used to ASP.NET MVC at the moment. One of the errors that has confused me (twice!) is:
Duplicate controller types found for ‘home’. To disambiguate the controller set the controller’s namespace in the route.
Both times I got this error it was because I had renamed the web application project and its assembly name. This [...]
Lowercase ASP.NET Route URLs
ASP.NET routes are super cool, but if you follow the Pascal naming convention for your server-side class names you end up with ugly mixed case URLs. Maybe it’s just taste, but I prefer them all lower case.
Luckily, Nick Berardi posted a really simple solution. He derived from System.Web.Routing.Route and overrode the GetVirtualPath method.
All I needed [...]
IE Developer toolbar stops working
I rely a lot on tools like the IE Developer toolbar. Recently after uninstalling IE 8 Beta 1 and returning to IE 7, the toolbar just stopped working. I could launch it, but all the options were greyed out.
It took me a while to fix this, yet the solution is embarrassingly simple. I found it [...]
Consolas: try a new font for Visual Studio
I’ve just downloaded a new font for Visual Studio. It’s called Consolas and I think I like it. You can get it here.
According to the blurb:
Consolas is intended for use in programming environments and other circumstances where a monospaced font is specified. All characters have the same width, like old typewriters, making it a good [...]
Vista hibernate problem
Since installing Vista SP1 (even since the release candidate I think) my system would fail to hibernate.
It would look like it had hibernated, but the next time I booted I would get a “Windows did not shut down successfully”. And then it would boot normally as though it hadn’t been hibernated.
Anyway, found this thread and [...]
IE7 emulation in IE8 Beta 1 doesn’t do what it says on the tin
IE8 Beta 1 has some cool features, but, as I still need to develop for IE7, I only installed it over IE7 because it has an IE7 emulation mode. Problem is, that mode doesn’t quite work.
Oh. Oh. Oh. See Gmail puke. Look Microsoft! Look!
What is going on with the left navigation? It’s usually more [...]
