Windows Azure

Following on from my last post I've also got some work coming up with Azure and it's nice to see that there's a new CTP of the Azure stuff available. And this works with both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010. So that's a bonus!

Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 3

I've just picked up some work to do some technical reviewing around Silverlight 3 and Visual Studio 2010 and found the install process for these slightly confusing. There's an excellent blog post here from Tim Heuer covering things.

As I already had Visual Studio 2008 and the Silverlight 2 Tools installed the process I needed was slightly different:

• Install the Silverlight 3 SDK (as I still want to be able to use Silverlight 2 within Visual Studio 2008 the Silverlight 3 Tools package can't be used - it would have upgraded Visual Studio 2008 to Silverlight 3 instead of Silverlight 2).
• Install the Silverlight 3 Developer Runtime.

This installs everything that is needed. Cross targetting of Silverlight in Visual Studio 2010 for both Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3. Cool!
