What we at Icetips are doing
After I posted the last video I realized that they were not being posted as full HD as I had anticipated. So I have made some changes and uploaded a full HD version of the video.
It is exactly the same as the first one, the only difference is that it's full HD resolution (1920x1080). Make sure that you set the video player to use 1080HD (click the little gearwheel in the bottom control bar in the player) Enjoy:)

I have made a new video available on Youtube. This video is about 15 minutes and covers how to use the Progress Class from the Icetips Utilities. Here are some examples on how to use the progress class that you may want to review along with the video.
There will be another video about the Progress Class to show how you can use timer loops to get rid of the tight loops and make the process easier to control.
So far we have had 98 views of the video that we posted yesterday which is better than I dared to hope - thank you all so much:) I hope you appreciate this video as well and please let me know if you have ideas for tutorials for me to do!

I apologize for the very long time without blog posts and a very quiet first quarter of 2012 from Icetips! No, it hasn't exactly been quiet time for us;)
After CIDC 2011 I spent quite a bit of time working on product updates that were subsequently sent out to beta testers. My goal was to start releasing new updates and couple of new products in mid to late January and was trying to get as much done as I could before I started pushing things out.
Well, that didn't quite work out as planned. Around the middle of January my main development computer started flaking out. At first it looked like the main drive was going bad, so I got a new drive. That looked like working until the day after I got it done, I could no longer boot the computer. At that point I couldn't get into the BIOS setup so I suspected the motherboard was dead. Decided to get a new motherboard and CPU for it. Got that set up and got Windows 7 installed on the new drive. Everything looked good. Installed the NVIDIA graphic card that I bought last summer and everything seemed to work fine, until about 10 minutes after Windows 7 booted, the monitors went blank and the computer turned off couple of minutes later. I replaced the video card and I finally had a working machine again
Sue and I send you all our best wishes for Merry Christmas and Happy
Holidays this season:) May we all enjoy a prosperous New Year in 2012:)
The office will be closed Thursday and Friday, December 22-23 and we will be back on Monday, December 26. I will be checking my email from time to time until the weekend, but support will be slower. I will not be checking my email over the weekend, December 24 and 25.
Thank you all for your business and support in 2011! I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a very exciting year for all of us!

Silverlight Show is doing two webinars this month.
The first one is November 9th about Networking with Sockets in Windows Phone. The second one is on November 29th about introduction to XAML development on Windows 8.
If you are into Silverlight development, those webinars might be interesting to you:) I haven't done anything with Silverlight yet, but I've been thinking about getting my toes wet - or fingers burned - depending on how it works out.
