"THESE Visual Studio editions go to eleven."

LOL

So we can build C# class libraries and expose them to C++ and JavaScript. Can we then turn around and consume those same class libraries in a .NET application?

@dentaku: Probably but the Silverlight FAQ says it's just a Silverlight Application Package.  From what I can tell, the X doesn't officially stand for anything.

It stands for the same thing as the "S" in "Harry S Truman".

"TrackMaina"? Shouldn't it be "TrackMania"?

LOL

I found out from a post in the Coffeehouse that Laura is no longer the only Foy in the house.

I finally got around to doing this.

class Events
    {
        public event Action<string> TextChanged;
        private event Action<int> TextLengthChanged;

        private int _lastlen = 0;

        public virtual void OnTextChanged(string text)
        {
            var t = TextChanged;
            if (t != null)
                t(text);
            OnLengthChange((text ?? String.Empty).Length);
        }

        private void OnLengthChange(int len)
        {
          if (len != _lastlen)
          {
            var t = TextLengthChanged;
            if (t != null)
            {
              t(len);
            }
            _lastlen = len;
          }
        }

        public event Action<int> LengthChanged
        {
            add
            {
              TextLengthChanged += value;
            }
            remove
            {
              TextLengthChanged -= value;
            }
        }
    }

    class Observables
    {
        ISubject<string> textChanged = new Subject<string>();

        public virtual void OnTextChanged(string text)
        {
            textChanged.OnNext(text);
        }

        public IObservable<string> TextChanged { get { return textChanged; } }

        public IObservable<int> LengthChanged
        {
            get
            {
              return textChanged.Select(s => (s ?? String.Empty).Length);
            }
        }
    }

Just turn it into a drinking game... like Robin's "but, um" on HIMYM.

For somebody who doesn't watch TV, you sure know a lot about TV shows. I actually had to look up what "HIMYM" was a reference to.

Dan, we could hit the Dresden.

This is a pretty cool, but aren't you charged for having this WAAWR application constantly deployed? It seems like a waste of a compute instance for something that won't be used all that often.

Edit: I watched a little bit further, and I think I have a better understanding of this. Does (or could) the WAAWR web application share the same web role instance with all the websites that it manages and deploys?
