Azure:

Want a Token?

You can request access to the CTP through our Microsoft Connect link on http://dev.live.com/liveframework/sdk/ , (you need to dig  little on the page to find it) …  then get the nomination page on Connect and you can apply for a token.

 

Debugging:

For NET Reference Source Downloading…

Setting up your IDE
In Options dialog, Debugging General
Check  “Enable .NET Framework source stepping”

In “Symbol file (.pdb) locations” add (at a minimum)
http://referencesource.microsoft.com/symbols
http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
Any of your company symbol servers
In “Cache symbols from symbol servers to this directory” enter
c:\symbols

Problems with .NET Reference Source Downloading….

The debugger can only download a single file at a time
Wouldn’t it  be nice to have the following?


A batch download of all supported files into your cache
A way to work with proxy servers
A way to even have .NET source debugging with VS 2005 or CodeGear tools


NetMassDownloader to the rescue
http://www.codeplex.com/NetMassDownloader
By Kerem Kusmezer and John Robbins
To download all the current sources from Microsoft:

Also to answer a question from the Pub club after the event… You get to the create object id dropdown by either right mouse clicking on the data tip in debug mode or right mouse clicking on an item in the watch window.

Thanks for the links.  It was good seeing you back in Ft. Lauderdale again.

We got a card for a 50% off offer for for Expression, but the link www.microsoft.com/msdnevents is broken.  Who can I contact about this?

About rfustino

Russ wisely shelved dreams of rock and roll stardom in order to share his vast knowledge with developers nationwide. Given that he can’t sing or play an instrument, other than in Guitar Hero, we’re all very grateful. Russ has more than 25 years of software development. He’s the creator of the Russ' Tool Shed developer seminar series and has donned his trademark suspenders, hardhat and tool belt in presentations for over 75,000 developers at 1,700 events. Russ also has expertise in developing Visual Basic and Web-based solutions using Microsoft tools. Before joining Microsoft eleven years ago, Russ worked as a VB instructor, headed up a development department, and created several client/server applications and system software products. His specialties include development with VB.NET, XML Web services, ASP.NET, XNA, Silverlight, Development Tools and debugging. But make no mistake – Russ is not all brains. His big heart led him to establish Take a Swing at Cancer, Inc., a non-profit organization that holds softball and golf-based fundraisers to battle cancer. You have to know the code to get in the shed. KNOW THE CODE!
