I recently put together a solution for a client that included Xslt and several custom functions in the stylesheet using the approach of embedding the script in the stylesheet. I have now recently stumbled upon another method of extending the capabilities of Xslt. You can actually create functions in assemblies and then link to those functions from outside the stylesheet! This is a good article and a great method of providing re-usable functions in your stylesheets that go beyond those natively provided.
On Sunday I went out and got the new Star Wars Republic Commando game. I’m not a big fan of First Person Shooter games. I’m much more interested in strategy games like Axis and Allies, Age of Empires, etc.; however, this game sounded pretty interesting. All I can say is WOW. I really like the game. The premise is that you are a squad leader for Delta Squad, a special ops Commando unit of the clone trooper army.
If you’re working with Whidbey you may find this link interesting. It’s a download of docs dealing with APIs that have been added to .Net 1.1 in the Whidbey beta releases, but that are going to be marked obsolete and removed from the final .Net 2.0 release. Might want to take a look to see if you need to find work arounds for any use of new APIs.
