If you’re not familiar with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute (pronounced “apt-ka” by those in the know…) or worse, if you just apply it ’til stuff works, you need to read this blog post from Shawn Farkas, SDE/T on the .NET CLR team.

On the left, you see Lt. Uhura with her wireless Bluetooth headset (although I’m not sure of the made and model). On the right, you see me with mine (the Nextlink Bluespoon AX). I’ve waited all my life to be as cool as the folks on Star Trek and now it’s finally happened! I’m ready for my replicator, transporter, tricorder and Holodeck now…

Here. When Tim Ewald was still a Microsoft employee, he and the next-gen MSDN content management system team experimented with some fun techniques for XSLT to Object mapping. To illustrate this technique, Kim Wolk has built a little prototype that lets you associate an XPATH statement with a method on an object and that method will be invoked for the nodes that match the XPATH statement. Check it out.

Update: Steve Dunn has ported Kim’s sample from .NET 2.0 beta to .NET 1.1. Thanks, Steve!

Mike Marshall over at the 19th hole has been digging into Avalon to experiment with scalable graphics, golf, ClickOnce and 3rd party drawing tools. Check out these installments:

• My foray into the Avalon CTP
• The first hurdle: Creating Complex XAML Paths the Quick and Painless Way
• Step 2: Adding custom XAML attributes
• more to come…

I love that folks have started to document their learning processes on their blogs. There’s no better way for the WinFX folks to get a look at how folks are approaching their technology. Keep it up!

Deepak gives a very simple intro to building menus in Avalon, effectively answering the common questions I normally get about this very subject.
