Well all of the teams today were extremely busy, each has some very creative and different approaches to the problem they were assigned. I am waiting until the challenge is over to reveal the problem they were assigned. It's nice to see so many very talented people working so hard on the solution. The solutions and judging will be Wednesday night at the Underground, here in beautiful Chicago. The weather is crisp this time of the year.
The teams are busy at work, and we'll be lucky enough tomorrow evening to celebrate their great work. I have to say the dedication of the teams are far and above what I expected to see.. More news as it happens..
The questions coming out of the competition are interesting.. Here's a random sampling..
Can you change the z-order and layer a web browser using a <winformshost> and a web browser control in WPF? In other words WPF content on top of a hosted browser control..
Simple answer no, the Winforms controls always gets rendered atop WPF and there is no layering. However you can use the <FRAME> control to render out HTML and a web page in WPF and attempt some work around though no layering..
<Frame Source=http://www.google.com/>
By contrast in Silverlight, you can layer XAML ontop of HTML and combine the two in the web browser..
If you want to check out some good examples of people playing with <winformshost>, <frames> and HTML check out these blog entries..
