When should I use Areas in TFS instead of Team Projects in Team Foundation Server 2010

Solution: Getting Silverlight to build on Team Foundation Build Services 2010
This is SSW’s first time using Team Build 2010 to automatically create a Silverlight application. In the past the guys have used Cruse Control, but we want to move to a pure TFS 2010 solution.

Wpf Drag & Drop behaviour
A colleague of mine was having a bit of trouble getting drag and drop working in a way that fitted well with the MVVM pattern. This is really quite simple once you have a certain level of understanding of Patterns, but is a complete nightmare if you do not. One of the founding principals of […]
Creating a Data Access layer using Unity
