Singapore Silverlight User Group has received the book contribution from O’Reilly User Groups.  Thanks a lot, O’Reilly!! I’m going to give those books to 4 lucky winners on our next meeting. It will probably be somewhere around March. I’m trying to get some more speakers for our next meeting. I’m sure that I can get some helps from Microsoft Singapore. :) Thanks for participating in our group. I hope that we will see more people in our next meeting. :)

Here is the list of books that I received.

  • Introducing Silverlight 3
  • Programming WPF
  • Data-Driven Service with Silverlight 2
  • SOA in Practice

If you wanna buy any book from O’Reilly, you can use this coupon DSUG to get 45% discount..  Enjoy!

Gtalk problem in Windows 7 (64 bits)

I was having a problem with Gtalk client on my Windows 7 64 bits machine. The problem was that Gtalk got hanged when someone send the message while the gtalk client is in inactivated mode. The solution for that problem is that you need to disable the notification (esp: Play Sound) in Gtalk Setting. Some said that disabling “Play Sound” for incoming chat or call does the trick but I disabled all notifications since I don’t need them. I hope you find it useful.

Visual Studio 2010 RC Released

If you have MSDN Subscription, you can download VS 2010 RC now.

Notes

1. Important to note is that VS RC will not support Silverlight 4 Beta so if you are working on Silverlight 4 development then you should keep VS 2010 Beta only.

2. I’m not able to install it in my office machine. The installation dialog will be disappeared without any message or error after clicking “Install” button. I got this message “[02/09/10,15:45:44] vs70uimgr: [2] UI Thread exiting with error code: -2147172341.” in dd_error_vs_vstscore_100.txt log file. I don’t have any solution for that now. I will update you guys once I found something on this issue.

Are you a hardcore fan of Prism?

Blaine Wastell, Program Manager of Microsoft Patterns & Practices Client Program, is asking the community to give the feedbacks for Prism 4.0.  You can go to this link and suggest what you wanna see in v4.0..

One interesting thing is that there are quite a few people who like to use both MEF and Prism in their projects. That’s good thing.. I’m also looking for a MEF + Prism guideline.. Glenn, Hope you heard me. :) I’m still waiting for MEF port of Prism Quick Start as well. :)
