iPad Camera Connection Kit – Will It Work On Other iDevices?

The Apple site lists some very nice iPad accessories. I think the keyboard dock and the multi functional case are beautiful. But what about the iPad Camera Connection Kit? I was wondering whether this will work on an iPod or iPhone as well. It would be very nice if it is possible to use your iDevice as an extra photo backup during holidays.

In the past they had a camera connector which was some sort of USB port to attach your camera to your iPod. This was very slow and thus a huge battery drain. Perhaps with this new accessory Apple might have sorted it out. We will probably just have to wait and see.

If it will work I just hope they will create a CompactFlash version as well ;-)

XSLT debugger in Visual Studio

Earlier this week I was struggling with an XSLT transformation. Usually it sort of works and requires some tweaking. But now I could not get it to work at all. I was doing the transformation from within a .Net control.

Googling for an XSLT debugger was quite surprising. It turns out that Visual Studio has an XSLT debugger! Since version 2005 if I am not mistaken. Wow!

So I fired up Visual Studio and started debugging. Within minutes I got it to work.

Just open an XML/XSLT file and go to the XML menu. There it should mention an option like XSLT debug. The rest is self explanatory.
