Keep on trying! The behavior you found is pretty cool — but still not it. You’ll know it when you see it — it’s pretty blatant once you’ve caused the easter egg to appear. For clues, check out some of the links I referenced in my original post (don’t forget to consider the date of the posting!).

Or, hang tight — I’ll eventually post the secret.

Don’t forget — this was done for fun and to experiment with SL3 — anything that seems too business-y might just be there to throw you off!

On changing the X Y coordinates on the DataForm the chart is updated as well. I still do not see what Reset and calendar are for.

I’m glad to hear you’re using .NET RIA Services and the activity control!

So, for this little app… keep on hunting! The Reset button does indeed do something, but I won’t tell you what (not yet, at least!). I left a few hints in my blog posting — we’ll see if anyone’s able to find it!

Hi David,

.NET Ria Services is awsome (I am using it combined with CAL).
I am also using the Activity Control and it helps a lot with the async model.

Now, regarding this little app:
The interesting bit is that you can navigate the datagrid and dataform using the chart control points.

The DateTime control and Reset button do not
appear to do anything useful.
