Fabrice's weblog

If you've worked with XAML in Visual Studio 2008 (SP1), either for WPF or Silverlight work, you know how painful it is.

RunAtServer Consulting and Octo Technology are organizing a 3-day Silverlight 2 training in Paris and in French. Highly recommended.

I'm currently in Montréal, between two of my sessions. I'd like to take advantage of this break to introduce a little friend of mine: Clippy!

In addition to speaking at DevTeach Montreal next week, Frédéric Schäfer and I will also give a demonstration of LINQ, Entity Framework and WPF in action to the Communauté .NET Montréal next Monday. This will be in French.
A bientôt à Montréal et DevTeach !

Matt Warren, who provides the most detailed HOWTO for creating your own LINQ IQueryable provider, has now published a dedicated toolkit on CodePlex:

Yesterday, Fred asked me if I could help him to convert C# code to LINQ. The solution may not obvious to find unless you know LINQ well. I will reproduce here the solution I gave Fred. Whether the LINQ version of the code is easier to read than the original one is arguable. The purpose here is more to show LINQ's Select query operator in action.

I'll be at TechEd in Barcelona next week. I'll be at the Ask The Experts booths a few hours during the week. Feel free to come and say hello. I'll be available if you want to discuss about LINQ, the LINQ in Action book, WPF and Silverlight, my projects, or .NET in general :-)

DevTeach Montréal will take place this year between December 1 and 5. I have the pleasure to take part to this event and speak in no less than five sessions!
