Scott Watermasysk just posted about the first NJ Dev Meetup:

Since so many people are talking about using the ContentPresenter to bind data via an alias, I figured it would be a good time to mention the IDataTransformer interface.

In case you ever wanted to save a local copy of that streaming movie trailer or funny video a friend sent, there's a neat little program called SDP (Streaming Download Project) Reciever which allows you to do this.  Best of all, it's freeware.

After the news from the other day, I had read a bit into how Microsoft licenses source code access to some of it's partners and came across this link on their “Code Center Premium” product.  The video is very interesting, and shows how partners can debug into windows source code methods without having to suffer through downloading a huge block of code.  The software that they show, WinDBG, will go out to a server to grab the relevent bits of code, and cache them locally (obviously) for future reference.  This is a very interesting program, and is available to quite a wide array of developers, including MVPs in good standing for two or more nomination cycles.

“Nick B.” writes in microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.general on how to install and boot Longhorn on a RAID controller:

TranslateIt! is a longhorn implementation of a simple web services frontend, allowing the user to translate text from one language to another, via the textbox, dropdown, and candy-blue button at the top left.

I figured I'd drop some security tips while the talk of exploits and worms is rampant.

I'm starting a thread of “Not Yet Implemented” Methods in the Longhorn SDK.
