Thanks! My mom always tells me that too.

 

Looking forward to your feedback once the beta is released Aug 23rd!

@kaneboy2000 Thanks, glad you like the series! I'm on the same BizApps team as these folks and so I thought it would be fun to show off some of these new tools in Visual Studio 2010. I'm learning SharePoint 2010 myself and VS2010 is making it so much easier.  

 

@Stephan1024 You're going to need 4gig of RAM for SharePoint Foundation to be snappy. I think Boris has 8gig on his machine running SharePoint server. Take a look at the developer requirements here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx

 

HTH,

Sorry for the delay guys, we've been out for the holidays.

 

@ RockyRaccoon42 -- I'll see if Mike has the code. Otherwise I'm working on a blog post this week on how to do this & I'll include sample code.

 

@kaneboy2000 -- We'll definitely be bringing you more so stay tuned!

Thanks for the feedback! Here's some more interviews on SharePoint 2010 tools in Visual Studio 2010 that we've recently posted:

• Importing SharePoint Solution Packages (WSP) into Visual Studio 2010
• SharePoint Feature and Package Designers in Visual Studio 2010
• Using the SharePoint Business Data Connectivity Designer in Visual Studio 2010

Hi Blueshift,

Believe me when I say we worked really hard on the sound quality. Because the interviews were done at random parties and events at the MVP summit, there was a lot of background noise. We had to filter it with music just so you could hear the main speakers. It sounds a lot better with it than without it.

Glad you like the interviews!

ROFL! I didn't even pay attention to that. Nice catch!  I changed the title.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback. The build we were showing you was "hot off the presses" so to speak and was also accessed through TS. I wouldn't focus on the perf at this point, it's the tooling that we're trying to show you. As for the video quality I have to render it this way so you can see the screencast at the same time and also so it doesn't end up being a 2 gig download . Heh, I'm not a video editor, I'm a code junkie so I appologise for any roughness. You might try just downloading it and playing it outside the SL player to see if that helps.

Cheers,
-Beth

Lucian is a very interesting person and a good presenter. Here's some interview questions from an Italian MVP for both Paul and Lucian.

Hi kaanuki,

Have you taken a look at the VB Learn topics: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms789086.aspx

Also there are a good deal of How Do I videos that were recorded with 2005 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb466226.aspx#formsoverdata

Hi fguerrache,
 
I am behind on the How-Do-I videos but the walkthrough link I posted above details what is involved. I'll get back on the videos right after the holidays!

Thanks for your patience.
