I wrote a menu for Silverlight and establishing focus/etc. was not an easy task.
Although I use the menu I don't consider to be good enough to publish.
I will offer this advice: Use the code unraveling tool (the name escapes me) that shows you the source code for successful controls. It is a great way to learn the MS way of doing things and it is an education in and of itself.

Is there a way of finding out if those people/asteriods flying by are "hot chicks" and if so start a conversation with one of them? Lot's of asteroids floating around the Elvis star.
Nothing in help about hot chick asteroids.
Please advise.
Rage against the narrative.

No change (I still can't do anything with any of the programability components of the database), and ol' Mr. One Eye is getting tired, and starting to show significant wear.

Since you were in the military, you should be familiar with their general policies and procedures. To that extent, what you are experiencing shouldn't come as a surprise.
Furthermore, in the military, did they have requirements that certain qualifications be met BEFORE allowing personnel to perform particular duties? Even if an individual can show competence, without completing the required testing to confirm competence, restrictions may apply.

Hey Tim,
Got a notification for your reply to the LeBron thread, but you seem to have deleted it. Trying to be less controversial?

Probably a typo on my part... not enough caffeine. Someone seems to have edited it for me, which is fine in this case.

Looks like it was auto-marked as spam, and someone approved it.

The MCSA requirement was not revealed to me until a day or two AFTER my first day. The contract's actual cert callout was for MCDBA for SQL Server 2008, which is no longer available. It is therefore technically impossible for me to fulfill the requirements of the contract. They're in the process of amending the contract to add the words "or equivalent", but there is some discussion still going on as to exactly who determines what the "equivalent" is, and when the determination is made. The nearest "equivalent" is MCSA for SQL Server 2012, which *I heard* the government is going to skip altogether. At that point a cert for thwhatever next version of SQL server they move to will be required, and I'll probably have to get that cert as well. I plan on staging a bloody coup at that point because I absoilutely refuse to suffer through another round of MS Cert testing.

My kid sisters are in their 50's. One was a border patrol agent, and one is half crazy (and thankfully on a whole host of medications). The third one talks more like a sailer than I do. Anything I say can be considered safe for my sisters considering we all act like we have Tourettes Syndrome...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Apparently some Brits are unhappy that LeBron broke protocol and put his arms around Kate when they met with him yesterday. Well, he is LeBron James - he makes his own protocols!
I thought it funny that people worry over things like that.

As an American like LeBron, I wouldn't have known that was protocol. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, now you know what to do if you happen to pose for a photo with British royalty.

You don't need to know, so you weren't informed.
The wanker in question did need to know, so his "peeps" informed him ... that he could get a lot of publicity by acting like a wanker.

I'd willingly take 60 millions Brits in exchange for a (former) Prime Minister that pulls pranks on the Prime Minister of another country (a too big and too near one and with a known record of belligerancy plus a lot of (t)reasons to hate mine).

When visiting other countries, expect the local protocol to be followed.
