Silverlight Alpha 1.1 VS 2008 add in

I
just tried to install the VS2008 SilverlightTools Alpha, but I
immediatly ran in to an error. The installation couldn’t start beacause
VS2008 was not installed. This suprised me because I just installed
thirty minutes before. A some searching I found out that I needed to
install the Visual Web Developer.

You can install this by running the VS2008 setup again an choose to add features. Now the Silverlight tools setup runs flawless.

Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 released!

I just installed VS 2008. The first time
that I tried to install it, the installation failed. Apparantly the
image (3 gb!) was corrupted and therefore the installation had troubles
with the cabinet files of the Document Explorer. I downloaded it again
and now the installation went flawless.

Tonight I made my first application. I created an rss reader (bases
on Scott Guthrie’s code) which uses LINQ. I think that LINQ is one of
the most important new features of the .Net 3.5 framework. It is an
feature which uses SQL like statements. I saw an demo of it from Erik
Meijer on the dutch DevDays and I immediatly loved it.

Now the next step is to try and expand the rss reader with Silverlight….
