Reactive Extensions 1.0 Stable is Released

Some months ago Microsoft made Reactive Extensions (Rx) an officially supported product and moved it out of Dev Labs to its new site. On June 29th it was officially released as version 1.0.  It now also has some very accessible starter documentation in MSDN. Until now documentation has been scattered between videos, blogs, hands on labs and the MSDN Rx forum.

Rx is also consumable from LINQPad. LINQPad subscribes to the observables that you dump. For example the example below writes “Hello World” every second but stops after the first five. If we removed the call to Take(5) it would run for ever. In that case you can stop it by hitting the Stop button in LINQPad.
