This program recognizes Microsoft MVPs who have included PreEmptive Solutions Runtime Intelligence Service for application analytics and/or exception reporting as a part of a production application and have taken the extra step to document and publish their experience. Qualifying applications can run anywhere Runtime Intelligence runs, e.g. Windows Phone 7, Silverlight, XNA Game Studio, Azure components, WPF applications, ASP.NET, on-premise server components, etc. (basically, any managed .NET assembly).

MVP Recognition

For those MVP's who qualify, PreEmptive Solutions will:

  • Include the MVPs published content (or a link) in a catalog of best practices and case studies on the PreEmptive Solutions website, blog, and other social networks
  • Award the MVP with an Xbox 360 with Kinect (value will not exceed $300 USD).

Eligibility

Current Microsoft MVPs are eligible. PreEmptive Solutions recognizes the rigorous qualification criteria of Microsoft’s MVP Award Program and the personal integrity of members of the MVP community. Recognition as an MVP Award recipient provides PreEmptive Solutions with the assurance that submissions we receive will be of the highest quality and the editorial content will be fair, thorough, and unbiased.

Qualification

An application must be verified as being in production and sending Runtime Intelligence data on or before August 1, 2011.

The MVP must provide a link or other clear evidence that the MVP has:

  • Implemented the analytics themselves,
  • Published their development experience and any benefits that incorporating application analytics into their application development process has yielded.

Access to Software - Which version is right for you?

MVPs are eligible for a Dotfuscator license (Professional Edition and/or Windows Phone 7 Edition) and an account on the Runtime Intelligence portal at no cost. It is important that you select the correct edition for your project since the default settings between Pro Edition and WP7 Edition are different. While you are free to use both editions, only one can be installed at a time on the same PC.

Pro Edition works on any .NET assembly, whereas the WP7 Edition will not accept non-Windows Phone assemblies. WP7 Edition also includes WP7-specific default settings (it has analytics on by default and points analytics messages to the WP7 portal instead of the standard commercial portal). So, if you are targeting WP7 initially, you will want to download that version here.
