Metro was the codename of XPS print path.

As a developer you would need to support 'Avalon' XAML.
As a printer driver developer you would either 'enhance' your existing printer driver with the XML based DeviceCapabilities and PrintTicket API's, or build a XAML printer driver from the ground up.

 With the filter pipeline in XPS drivers however it would become simpler to do this for any application from inside the driver.

Reversing page order is something the application has to do at the moment.

However, the downside from reversing page order in the driver is that the printer doesn't receive anything until the last page has been spooled.

A better (mechanical) solution is a smarter design of the output tray.

Ps. Nice to see the people we met at DevCon. Special thanks go to John for showing us the way to the Irish pub in Seattle

Only proof that there are plenty of other men who like to wear pink shirts

You also have to see the joy on people's faces afterwards when they are playing with their Tech'Ed 2002 chemical camping lights

That was the first time I heard the name Don Box and I didn't forget that name because it seemed that I absolutely had to go to one of his presentations in order to get some cool goodies... well that wasn't exactly the reason to go to one of his presentations, but it sure helped to get his name on my famous tech peoples list and buy his XML book and let him sign it the year later

Rock on and next time give the band more playtime, you might manage that by talking more softly in stead of slower

Why does it always have to be a man thing to get distracted by appearences and why don't women make comments on how Scoble's warm voice make them weak in the knees?

Keep on the good work.

Hey I could have sworn that I read next week before!
You know Soon(tm) is trademarked allready by MatroxUsers and we all know about the impact of that word;-)

Ok, looking forward to it Soon(tm).
Have a nice weekend,
Peter

No big screen digital screen on the wall?
You could then scroll it or refresh it every few minutes, as your wall space will run out eventually when you guys are doing the right things

Great video about usability aspects.
Now show some skunkworks vector demo's!

I can't find the sample on windowsforms. Have I overlooked it?

Thanks,

OK.  One algorithm I've seen is:
Is_Palindrome:
  If the string length is 0, return TRUE *
  If the string length is 1, return TRUE
  If the first character is different than the last character, return FALSE
  Otherwise, recursively check the string minus the first and last character

The *'d line is what I'm referring to.  If the TRUE is changed to a FALSE, then every even-length palindrome will incorrectly return FALSE.

See my solution, just treat 2-length strings differently, so that it only checks if both characters are the same, and then return true or false in stead of invoking itself with string length zero.
