Modified on 2008-Nov-16: (See notes added about Vista at the end)

Here are my PowerPoint slides and demo code used in my Silverlight Debugging presentation at the 2008 Silicon Valley Code Camp at Foothill College on Saturday November 8, 2008.  The demo code is three separate VS2008 solutions in a ZIP file.  They were built with the SL2RTW Silverlight Tools for VS2008+SP1.  Below are screen shots of two of those demo apps.

demo (loads bigger Silverlight app).

Thanks for coming!

2008-Nov-16: Some added notes about problems on Vista:

During my Code Camp session on 2008-Nov-08 I was running on XP.  Afterward I tried re-building and re-running the demos under Vista.  I ran into two problems worth mentioning:

1) After you download the ZIP file containing these demos, Vista (or XP too depending on your settings) is suspicious of any of the files in the ZIP.  You will get warnings from VS2008 when you try to build the demo projects.  To prevent those warnings, do the following:  Right click on the ZIP file in Windows Explorer.  At the bottom of the "General" tab in Vista there should be an "Unblock" button.  Press the "Unblock" button and the warnings for this particular ZIP file will stop.

2) Getting Fiddler to spy on traffic to localhost when running on Vista:
One standard trick to allow Fiddler to spy on HTTP traffic to localhost is to add a "." at the end of localhost.  For example:  http://localhost.:4444/LittleLoaderAppTestPage.html  When I tried that on Vista I got an error message from Fiddler. In order to make the "localhost." trick work on Vista I needed to change one of Fiddler's settings.  Specifically: Tools / Fiddler Options / General tab. Uncheck the "Enable IPv6" checkbox.  I don't know why that works, but it did for me.  I learned about this Vista fix here.
