Microsoft has over 4100 MVP’s that are certified to provide support to its
customers. According to Toby Richards, Microsoft’s General Manager of
Communities and Online Support, these MVP’s are thirty times more active than
the average user. In fact, Microsoft considers them a “tremendous asset that
provide support in multiple languages across 98 countries.”

Embedded Software Engineering Kongress: Beiratessitzung
Hallo zusammen,
da ich auch dieses Jahr wieder im Beirat des ESE Kongresses sitze, war ich am letzten Freitag in München um der Beiratssitzung beizuwohnen.
Der ESE Kongress findet vom 5. bis 9. Dezember 2011 in Sindelfingen statt. Wegen des großen Erfolges und der daraus resultieren Raumknappheit im letzten Jahr wird der ESE Kongress 2011 um 2 Tage auf 5 Tage verlängert.
Am ersten und am letzten Tag wird es Kompaktseminare geben während es am 2., 3. und 4. Tag interessante Vorträge zu hören gibt.
Die Bewerbungsfrist für Referenten wurde bis zum 29.05.2011 verlängert um die gute Qualität der Vorträge zu bewahren! Reichen Sie also jetzt noch Ihre Ideen für Vorträge sowie Kompaktseminare ein!
Have fun!

So you miss AppVerifier for Windows Embedded Compact 7
Hi folks,
as you know AppVerifier was replaced by Resource Leak Detector (RLD) in Windows Embedded Compact 7. Unfortunately RLD does not cover all the scenarios you could use AppVerifier for.
So today is your lucky day: you can find an updated version of AppVerifier for Windows Embedded Compact 7 that allows the creation of custom shims and does NOT require a KITL connection on MSDN Code Gallery.
Have fun!

Windows Embedded Compact 7: Silverlight for Windows Embedded Tutorial Part 2
Hi folks,
in my first tutorial I showed you how to create a Silverlight for Windows Embedded (SWE) application for Windows Embedded Compact 7 using Expression Blend 3, PlatformBuilder and the Windows Embedded Silverlight Tools (WEST) to create a PlatformBuilder subproject.
Today I want to show you how you can use WEST to create a SWE application stand-alone from Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008) WITHOUT PlatformBuilder.
For this tutorial you need to have VS2008 SP1 installed on your machine.
1. Download and install WEST.
NOTE: For this tutorial we will use the WEST sample project that can be found under C:\Program Files\Windows Embedded Silverlight Tools\WindowsEmbeddedSilverlightClock. Of course you can simply reuse the SWE project we created for the first tutorial.
2. Export/install a Windows Embedded Compact 7 SDK that supports SWE.
3. Open VS2008, go to File New Project… Select Visual C++ Smart Device as the project type and use the WEST template Silverlight for Windows Embedded Application. Choose an appropriate project name and location.
Click the OK button.
4. Click the Next button in the appearing Silverlight for Windows Embedded Project Wizard.
5. Select your Platform SDK with SWE support that we installed in step 2. Click Next.
6. Select the above mentioned Expression Blend project.
7. Click Next to generate the C++ code for our SWE project.
NOTE: If the path to the Expression Blend project contains spaces the validation will return errors. Since we are not creating a PlatformBuilder subproject, these errors will not concern us.
8. We can now build and deploy our SWE application.
Congratulation and have fun!
