This is Windows Client Developer roundup #25.

The Windows Client Developer Roundup aggregates information of interest to Windows Client Developers, including WPF, Surface, Windows 7, XNA, Windows Forms, Silverlight, Windows Phone and Visual Studio. If you have something interesting you've done or have run across, please send me the URL and brief description via the contact link on my blog.

The big announcement this week was the availability of the final release of the Silverlight 4 tools and WCF RIA Services 1.0 for Visual Studio 2010. Keep in mind that the VS2010 features are also useful for WPF developers.

MSDN went through a blog migration this week, so many of the usual MSDN blog entries are pending until they are reposted (they are 404 now). I'll include them in next week's roundup
