One of the biggest challenges I feel that we (Microsoft) face in showcasing the ''value'' of architecting/developing Office Business Applications is providing what I'll call ''solid reference implementations'' along the lines of Duwamish Books, Fitch and Mather, Global Bank, LitwareHR, other many other solutions we've released.  Sure, we have ...

You may recall in a previous post, I wrote about how I led a couple of projects to migrate Conservation International's public websites to SharePoint Server 2007 as well as implement a Silverlight v1.1-based Carbon Offset Calculator that is currently hosted on Conservation International's newly re-launched ...

As mentioned in my last post, in addition to the website redesign and replatform to MOSS, I also oversaw a project that involved taking one of the customer's primary ''eye candy'' applications, an HTML/JavaScript-based carbon calculator, and ported it to Microsoft Silverlight v1.1 Alpha.  We solicited the services of a couple of talented ...

A while back, I blogged about using WPF/E & Virtual Earth together.  The post is here.  I've also blogged about adding Virtual Earth in a Windows Forms application here (last paragraph).  What about WPF?  Given that the Virtual Earth v4 Map Control is delivered as a set of JavaScript libraries, the same approach we ...

I was inspired by WPF/E and ''Layering'' Content and Using Opacity with a WPFE / Virtual Earth Mashup to try something similar but different.  I wanted to be able to show WPFE content (vector graphics, text, and video) on a map when I hover over a pushpin.  So I hacked away and this is what I came up with: The two ...
