Back in February 2011, we submitted ‘plan bee’ to a Danish Windows Phone 7 competition organized by Microsoft. The results are here now…

As you might have guessed already, due to the not so discreet title of this post, we won 1st place in the Game category! Hooray!
You can see blog post here

We are very happy and have now been blessed with a Xbox 360, a Windows Phone 7 and a Kinect. (See proof below )

Want to give the game a try – get it here:

I were just setting up some “tracking” on a Windows Phone 7 application, using PreEmptive Solutions Dotfuscator, when I got some odd problem. First I just setup all up as I use to and deployed to the WP7 emulator. Application started and shutdown right away. Hmm, I tried again and again, same thing happened. I then looked closer at the “Build Output” window in Dotfuscator and saw this at the bottom:

“Warning: The strong named input assemblies (or assembly) {Assembly name and path here } were not resigned. You will need to sign these dotfuscated assemblies manually”

I could figure out that the reason why I needed to resign it, were because dotfuscator have had a look on it – I therefore needed to figure out how to avoid it to do so.

It turns out that you can exclude assemblies inside dotfuscator, just go to the “Input” tab, expand your .xap file until you find the assembly that gives you problems, right click it and pick “Exclude assembly from Package”.

Just a little help if anybody else ends up with this problem

– Enjoy!

In February we held another Silverlight GeekNight event in the Silverlight Developers in Denmark user group. Again this time there were a great dialog between the “geeks” and everybody were helping out each other with various problems and questions.

GeekNights are just the perfect place to try out new stuff. At the GeekNights you have around 5-6 hours of focused development/researching time. No girlfriend, wife, kids, dogs and what have you, are there to disturb you.
It’s just you and Silverlight – and a bunch of other geeks doing the same thing.

These are the perfect conditions to learn new stuff (hands on!) and get help from some talented geeks if you run into problems.

We are so lucky to have some pictures from this February GeekNight – here you go.

Thanks to Thomas Martinsen for his beautiful pictures of “Geeks doing their ‘thing’”

See you at the next GeekNight: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1178038545
