For my Expert XPO class [LINK REMOVED], I have now announced the location: the Novotel London West in Hammersmith, London, UK. Early Bird pricing is available now [LINK REMOVED]!
This is the European training class on DevExpress XPO for 2011 — if you use XPO, or consider using it, be there!
My class Business Apps with DXperience ASP.NET [LINK REMOVED] takes place in the Netherlands ten days from now, and today I found that I still have an MSDN Subscription to give away. Sorry, a Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN, that’s what it seems to be called these days. Apparently the subscription will expire at the end of the year, so I can’t keep it any longer. The training class comes to mind as the just-around-the-corner event perfect to give this away, so I thought I’d do …
Version 1.2.4.1 of Electric Editing is now available here: CR_ElectricEditing-1.2.4.1.zip
This build is compiled against DXCore 10.1.7, and tested in Visual Studio 2008 as well as 2010. Enjoy! Oh, and of course if you don’t have a clue what Electric Editing is, check out this overview with the various posts linked from there!
Here’s the newest version of my Visual Studio plugin, built against DXCore version 10.1.7 and tested with VS 2010. The previous build had a problem getting the colors right in VS 2010 — that is fixed now. Check out the original description here! The instructions for use haven’t really changed much. Here they are again:
I just decided to give the go-ahead for my DevExpress DXperience ASP.NET training class [LINK REMOVED], which takes place November 29-30 2010 in Egmond an Zee in the Netherlands. The group is only just large enough this time though, so here’s a shout-out for people interested in the topic! I still have seats available — sign up [LINK REMOVED] and tell your friends [LINK REMOVED].
In a comment [LINK REMOVED] to my recent blog post about my upcoming Expert XPO training class [LINK REMOVED], Michael Proctor, an old acquaintance from DevExpress days, asked me whether I would consider running similar classes online. In his words:
This looks great, there has been a few of your courses that would be great to attend however there is a big bloody ocean in the way. Have you ever consider running a second online version of the course to increase your market? I’m not saying run …
Gaining knowledge is most fun if you didn’t even know you didn’t have it. I guess it’s the surprise principle — the unexpected christmas gift is one of the nicest to get. Suddenly you learn something you didn’t know, or perhaps, if the subject matter is really something you’re very familiar with, it’s rather that you’re suddenly reminded of something you probably new before but had forgotten about. Great!
I just changed the project type of a library of mine to .NET 4 Client Profile. That libr …
I just stumbled upon this other thing that I don’t think I know: is it possible to dispatch really dynamically through the DLR, from C#? Let me explain. We know that we can use dynamic in C# 4.0, like so:
dynamic i = 10;
// i is now dynamic, but still works like an int:
int j = i + 10
// I can call crazy stuff on i, but the compiler doesn't care -
// it'll crash at runtime of course
i.DoSomethingYouCantReallyDo();
If you haven’t checked out code like this in Reflector, go …
