Hi Ben,

 

You can ask questions in the LightSwitch Forums -- the team is hanging out here answering:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/category/vslightswitch

 

Thanks for the feedback!

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: https://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: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb466226.aspx#formsoverdata  

You may also want to check out this site as well: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/beginner/bb308760.aspx

What are you interested in learning? Syntax/Language, Data Access, Office Development? I may be able to point you in better directions...

p.s. My blog focuses on business application development, check out some of the early posts for SQL Data Access and later posts for LINQ. https://blogs.msdn.com/bethmassi

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.

Hi MonkeyMon,

I think what Amanda is saying is that there is a very wide variety of people using Visual Basic, not only professional developers like us
