Once you’ve grabbed EME v1.12.1 or higher, you can explore a new functionality that I ported from a client project to the extension called Fuzzy searching…  Although created months ago, published weeks ago, I never found the time to blog about this gimmick until minutes ago.  Time to post a small example, in VB.Net… What [...]

I’ve been somewhat quiet on my blog lately (but have good excuses, as always), but tonight I’ll try to make it up with a little blogging spree…  Part one: what’s new in EME 1.12 Hooray, EME 1.12 is finally released…  It’s been a while since I worked on EME because I’ve been so busy.  Actually, [...]

O yes, thanks to Gill Cleeren, Community Days is the place to be in Belgium on June 21st, for the 6th time in a row! And what’s even better, at least one of the sessions will be a LightSwitch session, presented by yours truly. I proposed two possible talks to Gill, and he just confirmed [...]

I’ll be honest, I haven’t spent much time on Extensions Made Easy lately.  I have good excuses though: I’m writing a “getting started with LightSwitch eBook” (link on the way), I founded a “LightSwitch exclusive startup“, I’m writing about LightSwitch for MSDN magazine, I’m working on my next extension called “LightSwitch Power Productivity Studio“, but [...]

It’s been a busy couple of weeks again, so I thought I’d post a wrap-up of my LightSwitch life of the last couple of weeks… First of all, as previously announced, I’m proud to say I have officially been given the honor of representing the LightSwitch hacker community in MSDN magazine.  So far, it’s been [...]

I closed my last post two weeks ago by stating that  I’ll probably be in the LightSwitch 11 zone during the next 48 hours straight . Judging by the number of new posts ever since, you might think that I have instead been clustered to my laptop for 14 days straight, not sharing of writing [...]

I need to write down my random thoughts on what just happened…  Rumors got out a couple of days ago, but in case you missed it: Visual Studio LightSwitch 11 was released in public beta a couple of hours ago! Download it – it’s no longer a separate download, but is included in the full Visual [...]

I just finished tagging all of my posts with “Visual Studio LightSwitch vanilla”, and created a new tag… Yesterday I received a mail from Michael Washington, our LightSwitchHelpWebsite community hero, pointing out that an article on zdnet about Visual Studio 11 beta (released February 29th) quoted: In the Q&A session, Microsoft officials noted that the Visual [...]

I just finished cooking, and eating a hearty prawns wok…  The recipe, which I’m proud to say I have discovered myself through trial-and-error (mostly error), is a one-liner:  heat up a stir-fry pan, throw in a packet of marinated prawns (remove the wrapping first), add some deep-frozen vegetables and half a box of rice vermicelli, and [...]

Time to get this blog on the road!  My life has known a fun but chaotic couple of weeks, with lots of crazy events and opportunities that you’ll hear about later… First things first, a little thank you is in order… Only a couple of weeks ago, 10 days before the LightSwitch Star Contest on [...]
