Back in November 2010 we told you about Beta 1 of a new tool from Microsoft Called Visual Studio LightSwitch.  This tool, reminiscent of Microsoft Access development, allows you to build simple forms over data applications with no code at all. More sophisticated applications can be built by adding with some code more or less depending on the application. One of the most incredible features of LightSwitch is that it can publish your application as a desktop application, a hosted web application or even as a Windows Azure application!  If you want to write once and run in any of these environments this is a tool that you absolutely must look at.

Ab sofort steht der Download von Microsoft Visual Studio LightSwitch (Beta 2) für alle Entwickler zu Verfügung. Mit Visual Studio LightSwitch können Geschäftsanwendungen für den Desktop, das Web und die Cloud einfach und schnell entwickelt werden. Zentral sind dabei nach wie vor der flexible Zugriff auf zahlreiche businessrelevante  Datenquellen und die Erstellung von benutzerfreundlichen Eingabemasken und Auswertungen.

Last year I wrote a post about building Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 solutions on a Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 build server , which talked about copying various SharePoint assemblies to a “Reference Assemblies” folder and adding a corresponding registry key for MSBuild to locate the assemblies. It’s nice to see that a similar process has already been covered on MSDN for SharePoint 2010: How to Build SharePoint Projects with TFS Team Build http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff622991.aspx However, there are few things I noticed about this MSDN article. First, the path for the registry key on 64-bit systems is incorrect (although you should be able to easily figure out what the correct path is, once you are navigating down through the registry).
