I've been struggling to find an option to "go offline" in a solution when the TFS loses connection with the server, in VS 2008, I couldn't do anything but to re-start the application to make any changes without a check-out so that the application opens in offline mode. There could be various other instances when a "go offline" option should be available for a TFS based solution.  I finally found a VS 2010 plug-in which does the trick. I think it is pretty useful. Do let me know your opinions on the same. Θ Ω Sushant ♂

It's 3:30 am and I finally got my netbook working with Windows and Visual Studio 2010. This was really required as the GTK# UI sucked. I wish I could implement something like XAML for linux as well and wondering why isn't the Mono project prioritizing working on WPF and XAML for the fact that even Silverlight platform is free and also ever since Nokia signed this deal with Microsoft, I think the plans should change (sorry QT Developers but we're gonna take over from here). An interesting thing to note here is while Silverlight has not been so popular with Web, it would totally rule over the mobile platform which Microsoft is targeting while keeping in mind that HTML5 will be ruling over the web for smart UI applications. Anyway coming to the point. I had already gotten things  to work on the UI end last weekend and it looked amazing. Now it's time to write the picture recognition canvas Θ Ω Sushant ♂

Test your application on SQL Server which might have millions or records. Design your own Data Virtualization algorithms and test them using the codeplex provided databases on SQL Server 2005 and 2008 available at the codeplex website WPF also provides controls for UI Virtualization for DataSets although all the records must be stored in the memory which is an overhead. Good data virtualization algorithms can save memory exceptions and lead to better performance. Let me know if you need my findings on the same Θ Ω Sushant ♂

Just assessed myself on Agile Management at Scrum.org and scored a 73%. Learned a lot through the feedback. I think I can do some certification sorta to help myself get better as a Scrum Master / Product Owner in future. Θ Ω Sushant ♂

Thinking about this for so long. I finally begun on coding with C# and MonoDevelop (Linux Version). It's lightWeight (with all the plugins it just took 115 MB of my hard disk ) wasn't really possible with C# Express even which demanded at-least 5.3 GB of the Windows Partition Drive even when I wanted the other partition to be primary. The first project ever would be based on GTK# for both windows and linux. Will keep posting about this frequently. Θ Ω Sushant ♂

As the project mono progresses we have two products being rolled out commercially viz Mono Droid and Mono Touch . The android version is still beta and can be downloaded for free, they integrate with VS 2010 only. I couldn't find an open source mono version for both the development stacks, but there is a possibility that they exist. Will find out tonight. Θ Ω Sushant ♂
