Developing Applications for Windows 7 (deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachinodeanomachino(60) 1 day, 12 hours ago

I've just got my hands on a shiny new computer, maxed out with new RAM and Windows 7. So far I am very impressed with Windows 7, although it looks pretty similar to Vista, its a lot slicker and I can't really seem to find any faults just yet. I also find developing a breeze as it seems a lot smoother when building larger solutions in Visual Studio. read more...

Using CLR 4 Dynamics To Mock Bindable Objects in XAML (www.buttonchrome.com)

submitted by DeanCDeanC(15) 6 days, 21 hours ago

When I’m building prototypes in WPF or working on a GUI spike in an agile development team I often find it really unproductive to continuously switch between working in XAML (with my designer hat on), and working on the plumbing code (with my C# hat on). Wouldn't it be nice to be able to model my data in XAML, and seamlessly use it with XAML Binding expressions that’ll be valid once the ‘real’ data gets plumbed in. Well, thanks to the dynamic features in CLR v4 this is now a trivial task. read more...

Thread-Safe & Dispatcher-Safe Observable Collection for WPF (www.buttonchrome.com)

submitted by DeanCDeanC(15) 8 days, 16 hours ago

A common problem in WPF (& Silverlight) development is when you are working with multiple threads that need to change a collection that is a binding source and implements INotifyCollectionChanged. Basically, the standard ObservableCollection<T> will only allow updates from the dispatcher thread, which means you need to write a lot of code for the worker threads to marshal changes onto the main message pump via the dispatcher. This can be a bit tedious, so I recently wrote a collection that performs all of the necessary marshalling internally, so users of this type do not have to be concerned about thread affinity issues. read more...

MVVM – Lambda vs INotifyPropertyChanged vs DependencyObject (blog.quantumbitdesigns.com)

submitted by QuantumBitDesignsQuantumBitDesigns(315) 14 days, 14 hours ago

There have been plenty of complaints about INotifyPropertyChanged and how developers do not like using strings, etc. Last year several bloggers presented type-safe alternatives that used either reflection or lambda expressions. Many are quick to point out the poor performance (same for reflection). Unfortunately ‘poor performance’ says little about usefulness of an implementation. The performance needs to be quantified and compared against all implementations so that ‘poor’ can be put in perspective. Speed is not the only issue, as memory should be compared as well.... read more...

When I wrote my article Zoom and page chaged events for FlowDocumentPageViewer I make mistake, you can read about it - there. However Martin offer solution for this problem.
