This is a FREE event that’s running all day in London on the 15th April and it’s targeted at developers who are interested in hearing about client development with .NET Framework V4.0 and for...

I copied this idea from Eric (and Mike ) and thought I’d try and drill out my own set of “top 5” blog posts for 2009 as it draws to a close. Here’s the top 5 most viewed blog posts that I wrote this year; Silverlight & WPF Control Browser A quick look at Silverlight 3- Data Validation A quick look...

The other day I had a talk to give which included a little around Windows 7 shell programming in .NET 4.0 Beta 2 and I hadn’t really looked at it so I took a few mins out to take a look at how you can program the Taskbar in Windows 7 from WPF in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I was really looking for a short...

This is what’s known as a “on the train” project :-) I wanted to get a version of Kaxaml that understood WPF 4.0 Beta 2 and so I spotted that the source was on CodePlex and thought I’d set about downloading it and seeing if I could get something going. I should probably try and contribute to the project...

Great post from Pete over here about Silverlight/WPF convergence; “The Future of Client App Dev: WPF and Silverlight Convergence” It’s funny as someone asked me just yesterday what my view was about Silverlight/WPF post-PDC and in the light of Silverlight 4 and I expressed pretty much the same view as...

I’ve been really enjoying Lester’s feature walkthrough posts over here about various features of WPF V4 Beta 2; Concluding “New WPF Features” Series There’s some really good stuff in there. It made me author a couple of XAML files. Text display is arguably more important than ever as more and more reading...

I got pinged an interesting link from Linda over at Black Marble about a company that they’ve worked with called Cartogoo who have built a multi-touch surveying & mapping application – interesting app and you can see a quick demo over here ( assuming my embed of a YouTube video works ) For me, multi...

Scott put out a great post overnight on new features in WPF V4 – well worth a read. Scott’s Post I think I’d better come up with something original for this blog with my next post as the last 3-4 have just been me pointing to work done by Scott :-)

If you came along to the talk that I did for the Linked In .NET User Group today via Live Meeting then thanks very much for doing that and I promised you a number of links which I’m listing here.

At the recent Silverlight 3 UK launch I got a chance to catch up with Ian Ellison-Taylor who’s Microsoft’s General Manager for Presentation Platform and Tools. As usual at Microsoft, I had to ask for a translation around what that job title means and, in simple words, Ian owns; WPF and Silverlight which...

A common question around technologies like WPF is; “Who’s using this?” and I picked up a really slick brochure the other day with some great references around customers using WPF across lots of different kinds of applications and so I thought I’d share here – bear in mind that this is just a handful...

I got around to installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 and so I thought it made sense to follow up this post by taking a quick look at what WPF V4.0 Beta 1 has to offer in the same area. As far as I know, Beta 1 does not have the low level WM_TOUCH style message processing that I looked at a little here...

Just a quick plug – I’ll be doing some sessions on Silverlight 3 at MIX Essentials in Dublin on the 24th June. Click the picture above to jump to the site where you can register. It’s an all day event with 2 tracks running concurrently and I like the strap-line that says “ Completely Free” :-) Maybe...

Following on from this post . As expected, porting my Utilities library to WPF wasn’t too difficult. It was a matter of creating a WPFUtilities class library, adding the existing source from Utilities as linked code files and then referencing PresentationCore and PresentationFramework and hitting...
