WPF Performance

Brian Harry
A few months ago I was writing a great deal about the performance issues that were uncovered in Beta 2 and our efforts to address them.  As a result of your feedback and help the product we have now released is TREMENDOUSLY better.  Thank you. In those posts I talked a bit about work we were doing to improve drawing performance. ...

VM Prep Tool for Lab Management

April 17, 2010 Apr 17, 2010 04/17/10
Brian Harry
All through the 2010 Beta cycle, we got feedback that the new lab management capabilities were really cool but just too dang hard to get configured (sound familiar? :)).  Well, we’ve been working hard on it since about July of last year and each pre-release got better: Beta 2, RC, RC2.  We’ve officially made available the...

TFS and Azure

April 17, 2010 Apr 17, 2010 04/17/10
Brian Harry
We’ve started an investigation effort to see how hard it would be to get TFS running on Azure.  The thing we thought would be hardest was getting our extensive SQL Server code working.  It turns out we were wrong.  It was really easy.  We’ve already gotten the TFS backend up and running on SQL Azure.  One ...

Volcanic Ash

Well the cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland that is covering much of Europe currently has me grounded in Moscow.  I’m supposed to be on my way for the rest of my launch presentations but I suppose that will have to wait.  In the mean time, I think I’ll catch up on a little blogging.Brian...

Been quiet a while

Sorry about that. It's been a busy time.  Right now I'm in Russia (and have been for the past week).  I'm doing VS 2010 launch events across Eastern Europe.  Before that I had to take some time off to handle the spring farm work :)  And then I was busy getting ready to leave for this trip. The last week has been a ton of ...

2010 Release Candidate VPCs Available

March 22, 2010 Mar 22, 2010 03/22/10
Brian Harry
I’ve gotten a few questions recently about the availability of VPCs with more recent builds (than Beta 2).  Brian Kelly has come to the rescue in his typical style.  He’s put together some VPCs with the Release Candidate on them.  They also have some sample data so that you don’t have to create it yourself to ...
