C++ and Beyond 2011: Herb Sutter - Why C++?
Sep 08, 2011 at 12:54 AMThanks for the shout-out
The IE ATL add-in was an interesting experience. I'd still like to see C++ evolve so there's not so much ceremony to do things like the add-in. That might be part of what you take on for the additional performance and power, or that may just be my own lack of knowledge of modern C++.
Either way, good talk.

Oct 05, 2010 at 2:06 PMI soooo want to do some of this at my house. I've wanted to set up an array of temperature sensors myself both external and in each room.
I didn't catch. Were all those sensors hard-wired from the windows to the board?

Advanced Silverlight Printing Strategies (Silverlight TV #35)
Jul 02, 2010 at 5:20 PMThis isn't really a SQL Server Reporting Services - level report writer. This is more for collections of info that make very short reports. Maybe some images, probably not graphs right now as I don't run through to ensure animations wrap up.
Not sure what you'll be able to do with SSRS in the short term, but for the long term, I'll make sure talk to the SSRS team and add your voice to the folks that are looking for a Silverlight solution.

Advanced Silverlight Printing Strategies (Silverlight TV #35)
Jul 01, 2010 at 6:21 PM@ivan_
Nothing special is required. This is all Silverlight code that works in the sandbox as well as in elevated trust. No special drivers are required. If the user can print from a web page, they can print from Silverlight.
There are limitations here, though, compared to "real" reporting solutions. This is not a good approach for large reports due to the bitmap approach. Great for small stuff
In normal trust/sandboxed, printing must be started via a user-initiated event like a button click.
