I did a small review of available components suites for WPF. I focused mainly on grid and charting controls, as the nature of WPF allows customization of the UI in ways that previously required 3rd party components in a Winforms development: Xceed : Grid control only Express edition - Free Professional edition - 500$ With source code - 1250$ Infragistics : Netadvantage for WPF Includes DataGrid, Carousel controls, Ribbon, Chart, editor controls (masked edit, datetime picker, etc) Price - 800$ Source...
I wrote a while back on available tools for generating help file for your .Net application, and recommended using the Sandcastle Help file builder (last updated on 01/2008).

You also need to enable xml documentation file creation in your project properties. and there are further instructions in a Codeproject article (which may also be a bit outdated). Seems the situation is about the same almost a year later: NDoc is dead, NDoc05 was...
Coffee is good for you , as long as you don't drink too much. But how many of you can't pass the day without drinking too many cups? How many of you are addicted to coffee ?

לצערי אני עדיין נתקל בלא מעט אנשים המשתמשים ב Task manager בתור כלי למדידת פרמטרים של ביצועים, ואפילו משתמשים בו לא נכון. העמודה הקרוייה "Mem Usage" אינה מייצגת את מלוא צריכת הזיכרון של האפליקציה, אלא את הזיכרון המוקצה לה ברגע נתון , ויכול להשתנות בהתאם לשימוש במשאבי זיכרון משותפים עם אפליקציות אחרות. דוגמה פשוטה תוכלו לראות אם תיצרו פרוייקט חדש מסוג Windows application עם טופס בודד, תריצו אותו ותבצעו Minimize. רואים איך הערך משתנה? העמודה הרלוונטית יותר לצריכת זיכרון נקראת "VM size"...
For some reason David Brabant just wrote a post about NLog, another logging library for .Net, sadly last updated during 2006. This tool joins the well known Log4Net (also long time since last sign of life), Raize's commercial CodeSite 4.1 (excellent tool...
VAC (Voice Activated Commands) system is an application which resides in your system tray, and uses the Microsoft speech recognition engine to convert voice commands to keyboard commands. Since I watch my TV playing stuff originating from the computer...
Browsing through code is always a lot easier using regions, and I keep grouping methods/fields/properties in my code in regions. Now it seems I found the perfect tool for me: Regionerate lets you define regions in your code and determine the way members...
