It's cool huh. I used to use this a lot when i was in Microsoft as given i used to dogfood a lot of software for the company it just paid to have VHD instances ready to be used at a moments notice and nuked with equal guilt free.. as i often would keep my primary Win7 build as the "clean don't install, pure build"
Then clone this build, use it as my variety of instance builds etc. I then would get into the habit of keeping documents, source code etc on D: which was my original Win7 instance..that way should i have to put an axe through a VS2010 RC build that's gone south, its not a case of "Did i back the music, sourcecode, artwork etc" up..answer is "Yes, as all use it" I also am starting to use it now for customers that i visit onsite. In that if the customer needs me to configure my laptop to suite their environment i new-up an instance and call it "CustomerXYZ - Win7" and then archive it for when i next re-visit them etc ..that way its set to the exact settings before and after i leave and not impact my personal setups... I did it via the old skool command prompt, but if you find a tool let me know. as i'd be keen to automate this more. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 3:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: VHDs in Windows 7 (was RE: Silverlight 4) OMG. I had no idea you could do native boots on VHDs in Windows 7. I still can’t pick my jaw up from the floor. Scott: Are there any tools that let you do this easily setup VHDs for boot or is it all done through the command line (Diskpart etc)? Carl.

Looks like RIA services for SL3 is the only problematic piece of the puzzle. John.

Unfortunately the app is actually a CMS with a big framework - so chaning it isn't an option.

You could try pagemethods instead of updatepanels perhaps, assuming the legacy permits. I just tried it out for fun. I have two divs, one with a SL app and one with a html button. On clicking the button I hid the SL div, called the page method, and on the page method callback showed the SL div and updated a label in the html div with the time from the server. The SL app definitely didn't reload, as I had a timestamp showing in the xaml side of things that didn't change.
