Microsoft released the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4.0 yesterday. It was a long time we were actually waiting for it. Visual Studio 2010 is an IDE developed in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for developing .Net Application.

The long waited count down has been started for the big Microsoft Event. Is it big? I don't think so. For me it is the biggest event. What's that? That is the launch of Microsoft .Net 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010, which will be held on 12th April world wide.

It was a great start today in the morning when I checked my mailbox and found one mail from the webmaster of DotNetSpark.com congratulating me as the “Member of the month – March 2010” for my work contributed to the community. Here is the first couple of lines from the mail:

As you all know that, the Out-Of-Browser (OOB) functionality in Silverlight is not a new feature. It is available since Silverlight 3. Microsoft added the trusted application behaviour in Silverlight 4 Beta. In addition to this, they introduced one more additional functionality called “Chromeless OOB WIndow” i.e. “Customized OOB Window” in Silverlight 4 RC (Release Candidate). In this article, I will guide you to create a simple customized OOB Window Application in Silverlight 4 RC. After the end of this tutorial, you will be able to create a Customized OOB Window in Silverlight 4 which will look similar to this.

Silverlight 4 now supports printing functionality using the Printing APIs. Using the APIs, you can now print your whole application screen or a portion of the application. Also, you can customize the look while you printing your part/full application.
