In this pre-tax-day-issue: Shawn Wildermuth, Martin Mihaylov, and Al Pascual.

Shoutout:

Jeff Weber has a up on his site.

Thanks to everyone for taking it easy blogging while I'm procrastinating doing my taxes:) or maybe all of you are doing the same! In any case, from:

Shawn Wildermuth found himself a problem with SynchronizationContext. Read his post for how he worked his way into it so you know if you need to make some changes.

Martin Mihaylov has part 5 of his.NET RIA Services series up... hope you're following this... he's sorting and filtering data this time out.

Al Pascual shows you how to get past this stick-point if you're having trouble... good helpful hints are always welcome:)

Stay in the 'Light!
