Here are the cool things I learned at SilverlightDevCampChicago: You have to have an Intel CPU to use Silverlight 1.1 Alpha on the Mac You can get files from inside zip files just by referencing the file in your code We saw a great demo on beer (really got my attention) that called back to web services to get data and then from a zip file showed a raster image of the beer selected in the Silverlight app (see #2 above). The ability to create Facebook application with Silverlight is really easy. I will be looking...
Great talk and I learned that older Mac computers will only support Silverlight 1.0 and to use Silverlight 1.1 on the Mac platform you must have an Intel CPU. Very excited to get into the rest of the day. I may give a talk on the Netika GOA WinForms controls for Silverlight to the group.

I found this video from Dan Woolston's blog and it moved me. I guess being almost 40 and having 3 kids I have started to imagine the world without me and what I could do to make it a better place. I really liked the message that Prof. Randy Pausch of Carnegie-Mellon gave to all. In the end if you lead your life the right way the dreams will come to you. I hope I keep that inside me for a long time.

So I had to change the way an ASP.NET 2.0 application called reports from pages. Originally, I used JavaScript to open a new window.ViewCostReport.OnClientClick = "window.open('" + Report.GetProjectCostURL(_PromotionID) + "','ProjectCost','resizable=yes')";
The issue I had was that the window.open call would only work within the client network and not on a new web server located in their DMZ. I had to create a new report WebForm that embedded a ReportViewer control to view the reports.
The other issue I had is that the Report Server had to be accessed with windows Authentication since it was being used by another application for reports and...
