Visual Studio Woes
I was working on converting an ASP.NET 1.1 web site to ASP.NET 2.0 today but I will probably regret it because I have been having problems with Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. Ever since I have installed Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition I've been finding the msiexec.exe (Windows Installer) process running and bogging down my PC. This occurs every now and then when I'm using either Visual Studio 2005 or the Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. Below is a screenshot of the culprit in Process Explorer where you can see it hogging the CPU.

Silverlight Spirograph
I've recently started reading the book Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Design: CSS, Themes, and Master Pages by Jacob J. Sanford and skipped ahead to Appendix B: An Introduction to Microsoft Silverlight. This chapter provides an excellent introduction to Silverlight projects using Visual Studio 2008 and the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha SDK. Unfortunately, the Wrox web site did not have a download for this chapter and I had to type in all the code and come up with one image. I learned that XAML tags are case sensitive! I finally got the analog clock example working. Clocks seem to be a popular demonstration project for Silverlight!
