• Future directions for C# and Visual Basic

  Sep 16, 2011 at 9:26 PM

  @bcooley: wow,  that is a really nasty post.  What you fail to realize is that Roslyn will make AOT very easy since c# code can be *dynamically converted into C++* and then *compiled as native*.  Try to use your imagination for positivity instead of being negative and rude!  This takes C# light years ahead.

  Furthermore c# 4.0 was just recently released, even though they call this c# 5 (marketing) I think this is more of like the 2.0/3.0/3.5 pattern we saw in the past (hence no *actually* new runtime version). 

• Windows 8 Running on ARM

  @electrookosh: that's because the alleged "ARM version" seems to be a remote desktop into the x86 version.  That's the reason why the camera zooms in when they interact with it and when the camera zooms out, the x86 version is magically on the same screen as the ARM version.  Tune in next week to see Microsoft make the Statue of Liberty disappear .

  Regardless of all that, MS simply GETS IT.  No one else seems to understand that a tablet *should* also be a PC.  (well I guess Motorola Atrix did but rather than execute they simply gave a dumb terminal into the phone).  I am writing this post on a windows 8 PC and I have no reason to look back.  Well done Microsoft!

  I know javascript rules, but I just always feel like i'm stitching things together with it.

  will there ever be a new compiled language for the web?  One that all the browsers will understand?  I really wish that something else existed beyond javascript.

• Where the Multitouch Devices Are pt. 2

  Feb 12, 2010 at 9:15 PM

  My touch smart tx2 from HP went from a buggy 4 touch points a month or so back to only 2 touch points after installing the latest N-Trig driver.  How many touch points is this device supposed to have?  Should I be calling someone at HP? 

   

  I think that MS should back us consumers and force these companies to include information about how many touch points the devices have on the packaging and or technical documentation.  As it stands you have no clue until you actually fire up your laptop or PC how many fingers it will work with.  Help me out.

  I think this must be a feature of some kind, or an edge case I just missed.  I could have sworn that I used this without having to do anything else to get it to work.  As it stands, it seems that the called assembly must grant the caller Internal visibility for the dynamic magic to now work.  Since standard reflection continues to function I must assume this is some type of implementation detail related to how dynamic now works.

  Hi,

    it looks like something is broken here.  In Beta 2, dynamic anonymous types passed between assemblies worked fine, in this version I get a RuntimeBindingException.  Even though I am able to use reflection to access the properties, they are unavailable through the dynamic keyword.  Is this new behaviour or a bug?

  Whats up with active sync.  Is this thing ever going to be stable ?!?  I have never had as volatile a syncing experience as I do with windows mobile phones. 

  join domain = stops working

  install sdk = stops working

  The text looks SPECTACULAR on both Windows and Mac.  I have nothing more to ask of the SL team.  Amazing work.
