Top 10 posts of 2010
I quote one of my professors when I say: “We Share – We Improve”. It is through blogging that I’ve learned quite a bit. The ‘R&D’ done to learn and perfect a technology and the comments by other experts adds towards skill-set building. Below are some of the articles that I’m glad I blogged about.

COM Automation with OpenOffice – Silverlight 4
Another article in the ‘– Silverlight 4’ series. I don’t have an extra license for Office suite, but I did want to play with COM Automation feature in Silverlight 4.

Drag-N-Drop, Right-Click Save As – Silverlight 4

Local file access - Silverlight 4
I was successful in setting up my first virtual machine and install Visual Studio 2010 on it. I know I can run VS2010 side-by-side with VS2008, but I wanted to be absolutely sure I don’t corrupt/change any of my projects/solutions.
