You know you are thinking to difficult when...

Okay, so I had too much time on my hands today. A colleague asked me to implement a new silverlight based webpart for our sharepoint 2007 installation. The part had to display courses and what courses to follow after you followed a selected course. Typically this results in a graph visualization, with all the fanciness etc. etc... The basic structure was pretty simple, A course has a previous course, a next course and a name, that it. So I went ahead and constructed that into UML and into C# with a webservice to allow silverlight to access the business data. Here it got tricky for me, how on earth was I going to visualize the graph with courses. After searching for hours making it even harder on my brain, I discovered that visualizing a whole string of courses wasn't going to work anyway. So, about 300 lines of code written, erased and written again and here I am sitting, thinking about how stupid I was. Anyway, this was a typical "Throw it in the trashcan" afternoon. But the bright side of the story is, I got my second full blown silverlight thingie to work and it looks pretty too.
