You probably already noticed that Microsoft has enabled access to the source code of parts of the .NET Framework 3.5. Here is the announcement of availability in case you missed it. And there are detailed instructions on how to enable this as well. This...
Best wishes to everyone for 2008! In the first day of the new year, I've released version 0.9.0.0 of my Flickr Meta Synchr tool . You can always find the latest version on CodePlex . I had been working on this new version for a while now, but didn't...
After a long day and night of coding, I released version 0.8.0.0 of my Flickr Metadata Synchr tool on CodePlex this morning. I finally solved the long-standing problem I was having with the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) to update metadata. So this is...
Some people use hyperbole to refer to the disclosure of Silverlight and CoreCLR by Microsoft at MIX07. April 30, 2007 has been called the day that will be remembered as the day that Microsoft "rebooted the web" . This might be true in more than one way...
WPF comes with great support for animation using XAML without needing to code this in for example C#. With Silverlight (fka "WPF/E") you can also do animations from XAML. If you want to perform custom animations in code that you can't do using XAML, you...
If you haven't heard the news yet, you must be living under a rock ;) There is a new CLR in town. Silverlight (fka "WPF/E") 1.1 comes with its own CLR. And the best news is that it runs both on the Mac and the PC. Go check it out at silverlight.net ....
Microsoft has announced that the little cross-platform, cross-browser cousin of Windows Presentation Foundation will be called Silverlight . This technology which was first announced at PDC05 was codenamed "WPF/E". Tim Sneath has the best list so far...
Microsoft has some great news today: the new Expression Web (already RTM) and Expression Blend (RTM later in Q2 2007) tools will be included in the MSDN Premium Subscription. Soma announced this on his blog . This is the result from strong feedback from...
On a WPF app we had the need for the application to remember its window position and state (maximized, minimized) across restarts. A short journey on the Internet led me to an interesting article by TimK on CodeProject on how to do this. As you may know...
Bruce Eckel has an interesting post on hybridizing Java with Flash . He notices the trend in the Java world to replace Java-based GUI frameworks (AWT, Swing, etc.) for Java apps by Flash. Incidently, I came across one such app yesterday evening when I...
Microsoft has hastily released the February 2007 CTP of the Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere runtime . The previous CTP expired prematurely. WPF/E is the "light" version of WPF that will run in all major browsers across several platforms (including...
[ Update 2006-12-05 : Changed the download location of NeaveStrobe.xaml to my new domain which serves the right mime type application/xaml+xml for .xaml files.] Ever since I saw the Neave Strobe I wanted to create a Windows Presentation Foundation version...
Microsoft's Chris Anderson and Don Box show off a very special demo app....
Adam Nathan has a nice example of the use of animation for a property using XAML. And it's a funny post to read as well. Two pictures of Jim Miller (one of the CLR architects) are stacked on top of each other. The animation changes the value of the opacity...
