slow slow VM

Totally feeling chocked by the slow slow VMWare. In addition, any USB access slows the machine down, like, dramatically.

So it's time to move on and not depending on the VM as much but instead rely more on environment on actual machine.

Now my life is relatively better.

Hmmm, View Model

So I was reading the MSDN article March 2009 issue about using Model View View-Model pattern. Then I tried to garb and run the sample project, but found that Visual Studio 2008 has problem opening the project. I turned out the I have to download the Microsoft® Silverlight™ Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1. I did and it works. It comes with the unit test framework for Siliverlight 2, so I don't have to download the Test Framework (Source Code and Unit Tests for Silverlight 2 Controls) saperately.

And to run the test, just following the instruction here.
