Development Overviews

I attended two development presentations today.  The first, given by Cesar Ceniceros was the Customizing Bootcamp, which was pretty much an overview of everything we already do in the toolkit.  The second, given by Daren Kinnaird called "Development Advanced Coding" was interesting.  He went through an overview of Outlook Integration and demonstrated a practical example where he created a table with fields, created an extension form in Visual Studio, dragged the fields to the form, created an interaction extension, then showed how the type was autimatically added as a meta type for use elsewhere.  Examples of the code and the powerpoint presentations for these sessions will be forwarded to all conference attendees. 

He discussed the basic types of controls, which are Windows form controls, Pivotal Form Controls, Other 3rd Party Controls (i.e. Dundas, Org Charts), and Windows Presentation Foundation Controls.  He went over an example of how to put a WPF into a form (which is not intended to replace form controls).  I look forward to getting these code examples to review.
