For those of you who have followed the instructions but are still getting no sound try updating the bluetooth software from the following site.

www.broadcom.com/.../bluetooth_update.php

I had the same problem, i also didn't even have an audio tab as seen in the screenshots. After updating i had the tab and when i repeated the instructions it worked perfectly.

Thanks very much.

I think both are same. VS 2008 having little changes.

I have seen those light-switches in hotels&motels in the US also, including Bellevue near Redmond. :)

Hi Christoph,

I attended your session ARC08-TLC at TechEd in Orlando. Your slide is not available for download. Can you please upload it?

I am currently using 2005 and 2008. Both of them have been similar so far. I think they both are fine. If I find either of them buggy, I shall surely get back here and let you folks know.!

re: WPF UI Update from Background Threads

Derek Lakin — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 08:39:28 GMT

Hi Christoph,

Whilst you rightly point out the usefulness of the Dispatcher object that is available on any UIElement, I think the BackgroundWorker class is probably more useful for the kind of tasks that you are describing, especially for updating progress.

You define the task that the BackgroundWorker will perform in the DoWork event handler, set WorkerReportsProgress to true, and then handle the task completion in the RunWorkerCompleted event handler. In the DoWork event handler you can call ReportProgress (which takes an int for the percent complete and an optional object of additional information), which results in the ProgressChanged event being fired so that you can update the UI. The BackgroundWorker marshals these event handlers onto the thread that created it, so as long as you create your BackgroundWorker on the UI thread, you'll always be able to update the UI from your BackgroundWorker.

Hope this helps,

Derek.

Same comment as someone else: Thanks for the post. Where do I find the broadcom driver? It doesn't appear to be included in my standard driver set.

Thanks in advance!
