Marking Almost Complete + Deep Earth

Tuesday January 6, 2009
There's nothing quite so bad as waiting for a program to finish after several hours and then on examining the output discovering that the final total figure wasn't appended to the results file but instead was just sent to the output. That's fine if you run the program from the command line, like we're living in 1991, but these days some of us click the exe from windows explorer and all output is lost when the application finishes. By which you can guess that marking is nearly finished but not quite!

Silverlight 2.0 applications are now starting to appear and there's an excellent example (you need to install Silverlight 2 if you haven't got it) that demonstrates Google Maps type functionality from a Silverlight application. Completely written in C# 3.5, it demonstrates a mashup of Microsoft's mapping technology with a Silverlight application. I've created a new code library for Silverlight.

Hi David: Why not call it from a BAT file with a PAUSE command, so the EXE will run but pause when its done.
