Damn I just downloaded the beta version of Microsoft Expressions Blend. SICK!! Damn silverlight is just great. I have been messing with some 3d animations and such. I am getting more and more the hang of it. I hope to have a few samples to throw up some where, but again i don’t have any windows hosting solution yet so i’m kinda stuck on this. If anyone has any ideas please let me know I really don’t want to pay for 2 separate hosting accounts.

Oh yea the Silverlight development I am doing is with a C# backend in Visual Studio 2008.

ROCKING@! definitely in a good mood today.

Hey guys looks like I am attending tech-ed 2008 up in Orlando. I am really excited about it because I have heard so many good things about it and this will be the first year I attend.

I have been working with MS SQL 2005 for some time.  No matter how much I use it, I still prefer the MS SQL 2000 IDE.  The 2005 one is just so much slower.  I think Microsoft has really tried to make it fit the Visual Studio .Net IDE so much.  I guess its not a bad thing but damn the program is a memory hog and works so much slower.  I mean half the day as a developer you spend in SQL Server.  So why would you want it to be so slow loading.  I mean its just SQL Server that runs slow and of course the Visual Studio 2005/2008 IDE starts off slow but picks up after its fully loaded.  I run these both on Dual Core 2.0, 4 gig ram, windows XP pro operating system.

I have also messed with both these IDEs on the same exact machine running Windows VISTA and i actually have noticed it runs better in Vista strange as Vista is even a bigger memory hog than Windows XP.  Strange I tell you simply strange.

Anyone share this same experience between SQL2005 and SQL2000?

I just posted an article I read some time back about working with arrays in C#.NET. Anyway if you are having a hard time understand arrays and the way they work check out the article under the programming section. I didn’t write this article nor am i attempting to say i did (Mahesh Chand wrote it). I simple put it on this site because I thought it might be useful to those out there that are dealing wtih arrays or are use to the ways arrays worked before .NET. Arrays goign from VB6 to .NET are handled different and some are much more useful. So Check out the article you can find it by CLICKING HERE
