I posted significant updates to BindingFinder today. The goal of bindingFinder, as I discussed on Twitter , has evolved to provide compile type checking of Bindings in your XAML. In order to do this as well as possible, BindingFinder relies on declarative...
I'm not the expert on VS LightSwitch, but I know several people who are: Jay , Beth , and more... Tim Anderson writes " Ten things you need to know about Microsoft's Visual Studio LightSwitch ". Notice he mentions LightSwitch's use...
I stole this phrase from a comment by ch00kz on the Bend text editor project on CodePlex . I think this is something very solid to build upon. I am very big on aesthetics and this program does catch my eye and it makes me "Want" to use it. Here...
A few things brought this topic to my mind recently. 1) Chris Lovett asked me for a poster. I had no clue, but he eventually found Interknowlogy’s John Bowen’s work . (couldn’t find where the higher res photos are on the Interknowlogy website…) (also...
Interesting to see Davy Brion’s critique of MVVM and series explaining MVP in Silverlight/WPF . As a member of the Silverlight/WPF team, I want to ensure that our platforms enable exploring best practices for UI construction. I believe that Data Driven...
I tweeted a pointer to David Poll’s “ To XAML with Love (an experiment with XAML Serialization in Silverlight) ” recently. Wanted to make sure I did a short blog post about it, as it is worthy of more than just a quick tweet! I’m really happy with the...
As aficionados of WPF/Silverlight, I’m interested to hear what WPF apps and/or Silverlight apps you would demo to application teams across Microsoft. If you were doing the demo, what apps would you use to make the most compelling cases for use of WPF...
In an interesting post about “ thoughts on WPF 4 from a novice ” which discusses the effort to build MetroTwit , there are a bunch of interesting comments. My favorite is http://www.istartedsomething.com/20100711/thoughts-on-wpf-4-0-from-a-novice/#comment...
We should all get in the habit of being very specific of what versions of tools and frameworks we are targetting when we run into problems. I recently replied internally to some vague question: We have so many XAML parsers/compilers/designers in this...
Have you recently been looking at Silverlight and WPF for a project. I’m interested in hearing feedback from people who have built both before. When have you chosen Silverlight over WPF for a project and why? When have you chosen WPF over Silverlight...
I’m happy to see Davide Senatore is publishing a WF2XAML converter! If you are interested in converting a WinForms (including Windows Mobile app < v7) to Silverlight, Windows Phone, or WPF – this looks very interesting! Latest blog post from Davide...
This has to be the biggest week yet for XAML. Our V4 era work on System.Xaml.dll in .NET 4, a reengineered XAML implementation in WPF 4 (that uses System.Xaml), and a new XAML engine in Silverlight 4 both are released within days. In addition, we...
This twitter conversation happened the other day between mstrobel and myself: (read top to bottom). Interesting question and comments. I’m eager, also, to ensure that Silverlight & WP7 both use XAML to its fullest. I’m reading Mike’s comments...
At PDC09, we discussed that our direction was to invest in improving the Silverlight XAML parser. We didn’t announce a timeframe, but I’m happy to see that this work successfully made it in time for Silverlight 4! David Poll, the Program Manager...
Developers often find some benefit by implementing an override for ToString(). I believe that we could make providing a DataTemplate in generic.xaml very beneficial as well. First we have to start a beneficial cycle… What could be done with it: Apps that...
