As I wrote in a previous post, I joined the Microsoft Skype Division in Stockholm. Which means that two weeks ago I moved from Denmark (Aarhus) to Sweden (Stockholm).

First I moved to a temporary accomodation at a hotel, where I lived untill I recently found my own apartment. At the same time, I've been working at Skype, which is a really really great workplace, with awesome colleagues, and a amazing office. The work been super fun, but I can't disclose what I'm actually working on.

So here's some picture from the my new apartment and beautiful stockholm:

For my newest Windows Phone app project, Systembolaget, I was introduced to a new form of location coordinates, the Swedish Grid, or better known as RT90. This strange form of location coordinates is in the form of a x, y grid, that not-so-easily can be converted to regular latitude/longitude coordinates (WGS84).

So with a bit of research, I managed to find the necesary math and constants necessary to calculate a RT90 coordinate from/to a WGS84 coordinate.

Here's how:

The RT90Coordinate object, is a simple struct with a X and Y property. You can find the code for it on GitHub.
