This post is a little bit off-topic in my blog, but since I had to spend some time trying to make this work and I saw some foruns where people are having the same problem with no solution I thought I would put here what I've done to make my Windows Mobile 6 to synchronize with my Vista machine via bluetooth. I hope I can remeber the steps right.

1. Download Windows Mobile Center

According to Windows Vista help, ActiveSync was replaced with Windows Mobile Center in Vista. After this, I tried connecting my phone with Vista via bluetooth, but I still couldn't.

2. Follow the instructions on the Windows Mobile Device Center help for "Connect using Bluetooth".

You can also see the steps online, although I prefer the formatting in the offline help. The most important note there is that you have to attach your device to the computer using a USB cable first.
Also, if you have added a device following the cellphone manual before getting to this step (as I did), delete the device from the cellphone and add it again.

It seems simple, but I just got at this point after I tried a couple of different things.

Today is a great day! We shipped Silverlight 2!

If you're looking for resources to learn more about the technology and how you can get started, these are some useful links:

• Get Started page on Silverlight.net Web site: you have learning resources there, but you can also download Silverlight 2 and other tools from here.
• The Silverlight documentation on MSDN. For those looking for reference material, they are divided on MSDN in Managed reference and Unmanaged reference.
• Silverlight quickstarts
• Documentation download (CHM file)

If you have any feedback on the documentation, please let us know.

Have fun programming!

It's been two years that I've been at Microsoft and I can say what an amazing 2 years I had! At the ASP.NET UE team, I shipped ASP.NET Ajax 1.0, Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (that it was much more than a simple Service Pack!).

They say that at Microsoft you're responsible for your career and this is absolutely true. When I saw the opportunity to become the Documentation Manager for the Common Language Runtime (CLR) User Education (UE) team, I just jumped right on it!

I still love ASP.NET and the ASP.NET User Education team rocks! People there are really dedicated to create great documentation and bringing innovation to the table.

But more importantly, I just love .NET in general and I am really passionate about our documentation! So the CLR team was a great match. I am truly excited about this opportunity and look forward to blog more about the CLR!

Feel free to send me any comments, feedback, any advice for a first-time people manager and reading suggestions including blogs and books!

I'm already adding the BCL team blog to my list.
