re: Hunting for window handles

Jan Schreuder — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 11:32:45 GMT

What you should also consider is looking at how popup forms are handled. I always use a construct that calls the winform inside a using. For example:

Using (MyForm form = new MyForm())

{

form.showdialog();

}

If an object exposes the Dispose() method, it is always a wise thing to call Dispose() once you no longer need the object.

re: Using generics to easy the pain of (xml) serialization

Waseem Sadiq — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 00:05:37 GMT

You are absolutely right, that's a nice trick :-)

But still this approach is preferred in situations where you are doing a lot of late-bound instantiation.

....but, this would work, wouldn't it?

void SerializeResponse(Response response)

{

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())

{

XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(response.GetType());

ser.Serialize(ms, response);

}

I didn't know this either. But it's a great way to find source code. There's also another option which allows you to search for Microsoft related content only:

I did not know the existence of this seach engine :)

After searching for 'effect plasma lang:c#' I got my own code back that is available at my blog.

re: WPF - local animations (animations in code)

Very interesting. I am implementing WPF animations directly in Smalltalk without using XAML. Your post helped clarify some concepts for me. Thanks

re: WinFX runtime beta2 installation fails

Sander van Vliet — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 23:56:51 GMT

This has almost always something to do with a not fully uninstalled previous version. Though it can be _any_ beta software and not just the one you're trying to update. As you said, it's a painfull process :-/

re: Flags enumeration sample

Ramon Smits — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 09:03:04 GMT

lots of days that I miss the c++ syntax to just do if(options&singleOption) { ..... }

:)

By the way.. Its better to renamen IsOptionSet to IsSet(..) and rename singleOption to value because it doesn't really has to be a single option. It can also be some OR'd options.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi! Somehow your blog enlightened me but I think I still need an example in creating custom control. I'm actually doing a custom control in listview I've done this with c# but dont have any idea on how to do inheriting in xaml. Hope you can help me. Thanks!

re: The Atlas InvokeMethodAction is case-sensitive

Marc Jacobi — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 22:37:18 GMT

Isn't this because javascript is case sensitive and Atlas just generates javascript?

Hey Waseem,

Cool that you are blogging here now. Been a long time we have talked to each other (I think a year ago @ Moxmo ;-). Looking forward to see some interesting posts from you!
