The Silverlight 3.0 Beta is out. Tim Heuer has written a great blog with all the new features. I have added the new SaveFileDialog to my Sudoku.

Now I can start to write a new Silverlight 3 training!.

Update 20 july 2009: Implemented Silverlight 3.0 RTW and moved the game to https://www.silverarcade.com/games/sonnemaf/sudoku 

I have found a great 'SCRUM in Under 10 Minutes' movie on YouTube.
If you don't know what SCRUM is you should really watch it.

I have created a LINQ extension method which can be used to Pivot an enumeration. Just like you can PIVOT a SQL Query in SQL Server.

The following example uses the Pivot() function to group Employees by Department and Function and aggregates the Salary using a SUM. The second example uses a different grouping and Counts the number of employees per group.

I'm developing a Silverlight 2.0 version of Sudoku. It is mainly a programming exercise, so there aren't too many multimedia bells and whistles (yet). I would really like to get feedback on it, thanks!

In order to make Cross Domain calls in Silverlight 2 applications, the server you wish to download data from must have a Policy File in place that allows access to your site. I have created a Silverlight Application in which you can check the content of the Policy Files (if exists).

I have created a new Silverlight 2 Control which is used in the Objectmap website. This control makes it easy for the customers of accounts to find their nearest object (branch, offices or sales outlet). They can also immediately retrieve dynamic directions to this location or link to a more info page.

Have a look at this demopage, sorry in Dutch only.

This control uses: Cross Domain WCF networking, Data Binding, Isolated Storage Settings, Google Maps API calls, Cross Domain HTML Bridge and Styling.

Earlier I have created a WPF and a Windows Forms version of Minesweeper. Today I proud to show you my Silverlight 2.0 (RTW) version. Click on the image below to play this version.

You can download the C# source code and the example website here.

Dit is mijn eerste Silverlight 2 instructie video. In deze video toon ik hoe je een eenvoudige Hello World applicatie kunt opzetten met behulp van Silverlight 2 (RC0) en Visual Studio 2008 met Service Pack 1.

Download de HelloWorld.zip sourcecode. Zorg er wel voor dat je alle benodigde software geinstalleerd hebt.

If you’ve got a page that doesn’t render correctly in IE8’s new standards mode, you can add a meta tag to the page which requests that IE8 render it in IE7 mode. IE8 only recognizes the X-UA-Compatible header if it’s the first META tag, appearing immediately after thetag.
