http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/CL11 In this presentation, a WPF Facebook like application was presented. Unfortunately the application has issues. during the session we have walked some classic scenarios and some are a bit far fetched (at least from my experience). If you are a WPF developer, see the...
http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/VTL30 Bottom line, I recommend you watching this session on Video when it would be available probably tomorrow. Why? Cool Demos. All demos are visual and interesting, it’s really hard to exite most people with a clustering algorithm, but give them a DeepZoom app and sea...
So this is kind of a live blogging from the PDC09’s keynote. Bottom line, as I’ve suspected no big announcements in today’ss keynote. But… it might be for the best, Microsoft focuses on maturing many projects that were discussed on last year PDC. Windows Azure starts to gain momentum with customers using...
http://microsoftpdc.com/Sessions/CL09 Live blogging. Reasons for VS to use WPF: You better lead by example, if you want people to use WPF, you must use it in house, intresting that it was the 1st point. WPF strong patterns of separation of concerns between UI an logic. Maturity of WPF. Plenty of rich...
Here is a small how-to solution to a very common question. Suppose I have separated my client application to multiple projects, and each project contains his own WPF resource dictionary, how do I use it? Bottom line, you need to merge your resource dictionary to the application main resource, let’s see...
In Part 1 , we’ve discussed how the Layout was done, and we finished designing our XAML. Now let’s see what is going on beyond the scenes. We will define two helper classes that will help us manage the data in our App. Function class got: Name : Will be shown inside the ComboBox. Params: List of Param...
My esteemed colleague Alex Golesh sent me a request to rate his app on the MIX 10k competition, I wasn’t aware of this competition, but I immediately decided that I want in. The rules are simple, do anything you want on Silverlight or XBAP but you mustn’t exceed 10kb of code and resources. After...
Today I was approached with a nice question. Suppose we have a simple class with a few properties. We want to do a linq query over it with a where clause. (it doesn’t matter what is the data source, in this case it will be plain CLR objects). Let’s say that we want to construct our Where clause in such...
I can separate this session into 2 distinct parts. While talking about the theory Manu managed to do a great job, he was very clear, his points were sharpened and well understood, I think anybody on the crowd understood what is the purpose of Azure, What it will do for them and why do they need it, even...
Guy have produced a well structured lecture. Managed it with high precision and very well timing, never slowing on it's own, just the proxy slowed his pace, and in those times it felt like he didn't have really nothing more to say out of his well practiced script. Furthermore, I felt a little...
Dan's lecture promised a lot, I carefully reviewed the slides prior of the event, and decided to go to this lecture, first it promised the most advanced issues and second I so far scratched the surface of Ajax and it is good opportunity to learn more on this. Dan stated the lecture with good pace...
PDC is way behind us, but we at Sela put on an effort to try to summarize the most important stuff from the event(atleast those we liked :)) for the rest of Sela employees and special guests. We did that in a rather challenging way, since that 7 people (including myself) were attendees at PDC,...
While preparing for a talk I am to give about the new C# 4.0 dynamic feature and dynamic languages in general I ran into several issues that I would like to document here, maybe they will be helpful for you as well. I am using the Visual Studio 2010 VPC which was handed over for every PDC attendee. But...
For some time I am consulting one of my customers with the creation of WPF application which uses a Sql Server Compact edition DB. We quickly used Linq to SQL as our DAL and created our data model (using SqlMetal as so far even after SP1 no IDE support for SqlCE, drop me a comment if you don’t know how...
So you have decided that you want to incorporate SQL server CE into your application. I found out that almost every Smart Client or Desktop based Rich application need a way to cache data and Sql Server CE is a great tool to do just that. Sql Compact Edition has a few advantages that might sway you if...
