Silverlight Plugin For Lutz Roeder's Reflector

One of the nice advantages to Silverlight is that you can view the source of a site to see how things work, but with Silverlight 1.1 Alpha that process became more complex. While you can still fish through the JavaScript and Xaml to find the .NET assembly(dll) that is doing all the logic it takes a lot more time.

Ernie Booth decided to write a plugin for Lutz Roeder's Reflector that takes a URL to a Silverlight page and finds the assembly for that page. It also loads up the JavaScript and root Xaml for the page.

Download all the source and assembly for the 0.1 Alpha of the Reflector Silverlight Browser here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ebooth/archive/2007/05/19/view-source-reflector-tool-for-net-silverlight-sites.aspx

Screencast: Extend your VBA with .NET

Visual Studio "Orcas" makes it very easy for your existing VBA solutions to call Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) methods!

By setting the "EnableVbaCallers" and "ReferenceAssemblyFromVbaProject" project properties to TRUE, VSTO automatically adds the necessary code spit and references to your VBA project.

Then you're free to mix managed .NET code with VBA script! Preserve your investment in VBA and amaze your friends as you effortlessly call VSTO using VBA's IntelliSense.


Join Eric Schnepp, Principal Program Manager in the VSTO team in this screencast to see how it all works.
