Welcome to my site

First let me say thanks for stopping by my site. My name is David Hanson-Graville and I am a IT consultant working in the UK. Let me make it clear, I am passionate about technology and specifically .net and its various forms. I've programmed in a range of langages, but I can say, I am now at my happiest when coding with c#. I hope my blog is an enjoyable & educational read and please feel free to email me at David.Hanson@OnTheBlog.net if you have any questions. 
PDC: Office via Silverlight Minimize

Posted by: David Hanson Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:34:47 GMT

Well there are announcements coming left right and center from PDC this year. We've heard about Azure and Microsoft's move to provide cloud services. We hear details of Oslo and Dublin and what they will mean for the future of language developement and modelling.

And then one very important announcment from Microsoft which shows their commitment to Silverlight and related technologies is the announcement that the next version of Office will come with a web enabled version powered by Silverlight. Their is a video posted on Channel 9 about this that shows small demos of Silverlight Word, Excel and One Note. VERY COOL!

This is the future of RIA's and software as a service and I am looking forward to see how Microsoft's competitors continue to compete now that Silverlight and .Net are going cross platform.

  17. LordHanson: Found a nice way to invoke generic methods using expression trees and importantly avoiding Type.Getmethods() which you normally have to do!
