This RC doesn’t support Silverlight 4.

But of course it doesn’t mean that Visual Studio 2010 RTM will not, it will.

See you at Visual Studio 2010 RTM, Silverlight 4…

Today when I was developing Silverlight app using Telerik RadControls, there was an error “Invalid FORMATETC stucture” prevented me to complete the drag n drop of RadControls to the XAML editor.

I didn’t have any idea what was caused it because I could still drag n drop the Button control to the XAML. I thought it was Telerik but it could be anything.

Then the fast way to get the answer was of course Google.

Oops there are may results when I searched invalid FORMATETC, that’s a good sign to get the answer. Yeah it’s not Telerik specific error but Visual Studio error. It’s caused by the reference of toolbox items were messed up.

The solution was simply resetting the toolbox items by right clicking the toolbox then choosing Reset Toolbox.

Be patient, it could take sometime to reload all toolbox items.

Happy New Year 2010!

As you have guessed from the title, I’m now a Microsoft MVP in Windows Mobile.

You may not found a post in this blog about Windows Mobile, they are all in my another blog (written in Bahasa Indonesia).

This award is because of my contribution to INDC community by blogging, answering forums, and mailing list for the past 1 year.

Silverlight is my new passion but I will not leave Windows Mobile as well.

Go Silverlight! Go Windows Mobile! Go etc!

In the November 2009 release of Silverlight Toolkit, the Silverlight Unit Test Framework is included not only the libraries but also the project template. The Silverlight Unit Test Framework project is originally hosted here.

You can download the November 2009 release of Silverlight Toolkit here.

I use Visual Studio 2008 and Silverlight 3. After installation of Silverlight Toolkit, I found that it’s installed in the “Program Files” under Visual Studio 10.0 folder.

No need to worry, when I run the Visual Studio 2008 and add new project, I can see the Silverlight Unit Test Application is now added to the Project Template.

If you need the libraries, you can find them inside the %Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Toolkit\Nov09\Bin folder.
