If you work/ed with CAB and SCSF you might remember the Outlook Bar we created in 2006 with the initial input of Chris Holmes and the help of some of the Southworks guys like Mariano and Ezequiel. It turned out to be a popular control for composite applications since the nature of modules mapped quite... read more
It's been a while as Kent said in his post. We've packaged lots of work done in the past 6 months or so. Mariano and Sebastian from the Southworks team have been actively commiting code. Read the features in the home page of our codeplex site and download the release if you want to see some cool reference... read more
I’ve arrived to China after a long journey (~35 hours). I still needs to figure out what’s the time and what should I eat.

It was on December 2006 when I first looked at this new framework on a developer lab at Redmond. I’m a big supporter of CAB as you may noticed if you read this blog and that is why I was invited. They want feedback. Acropolis grabbed many concepts and patterns that were successful in CAB, so people... read more
Glenn posted about it. I will be collaborating in the project and together with Bil Simser, Ward Bell and Kent Boogaart we will try to make it significant. I will move the Outlook bar to the contrib project and any other addition I made in the past and will do in the future will go there. Kent already uploaded... read more
