Just tripped on a blog post from a Microsoft F# team member where he says: “I finally deeply understand XAML, and I really now grok and appreciate the WPF architecture and all the terrific-looking UI you can easily create in a small amount of XAML or...
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 kicked a 2 year old email thread with the ClickOnce team in late June to see if ClickOnce support on CodePlex was still in the plan. They said it was going to ship early July! They announced the release yesterday: How to deploy your codeplex project...
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...
Posted a slightly enhanced code drop for video wall (see link to .zip on http://robrelyea.com/demos/videowall ): Took advantage of the fact that ViewportWindow can take a UIElement, not just a MediaElement, as the “masterElement”. Built a context menu...
David, a WPF/Silverlight graphics PM, did a short write-up recently on some tips that he has shared with customers doing VideoWalls. WPF applications can only run with hardware acceleration when their window's size does not exceed the maximum texture...
