When I reviewed some 3rd party WPF components out there I noticed the fact most of them showcased a datagrid claimed to perform better than the default grid. After reading Tamir's post about the new WPF DataGrid CTP I have to wonder if this is about the change, as there seem to be serious performance improvements in the new grid: WPF’s goals for controls in 3.5 SP1 focused on supporting building DataGrid in our next release and improving the performance of our controls overall. One of our top...
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 started my morning in Maor David's lecture on the DB dude. The lecture was a 400 level lecture (for those who complained there weren't enough of those) continuing his talk at the Developer academy (you can download it here ).

Now I'm at Tamir 's and Alex 's lecture on game development, showing a 2D...

I began by searching for file types However, this reflects only on files...
We all know about the "cool new kids in town", meaning new technologies all developers want to use. Offer a developer two positions: Programming with C# 1.1 Programming with WPF and C# 3.5 What do you think most developers will choose? However, there is the question of an existing project, written in an "uncool" technology. In my experience developers tend to push towards using newer technologies, but how do you convince the people in charge? Here are my thoughts on the subject...
Most WPF programmers know the mythological XAMLPad tool, but it's supplied without source code (although the EditingExaminer sample should be something close to it). You can also find Kaxaml, XamlHack, and now you can get Petzold's "XAML Cruncher", with...
