Silverlight 3 and WCF Faults
On a previous project that utilised WCF and Silverlight 2, I began implementing an error handling strategy that was going to rely on certain FaultExceptions being propagated to the Silverlight client.

Debugging Silverlight apps using WinDbg
While working on a silverlight application for my current engagement, we were seeing some weird memory issues and application crashes. I won't bore you with the initial investigation of the issue, but it turns out we need to delve deep into what was going on behind the scenes. A fellow colleague and friend, Miguel Madero, was also encountering similar issues. He also did some work in debugging the issues he was seeing, and because they were similar to mine, I had a little headstart in where to look. Note: I know that Miguel will also be publishing some debugging tips around Silverlight and he is a Silverlight gun so keep an eye on his blog for more details.

Like a lot of people lately, I have been playing with Silverlight (Alpha 1.1 version), trying to understand the nuts and bolts of it, and when that fails, just diving in and seeing how I go. I can’t say I am much of a WPF/XAML guru so things have been slow.
