        12/23/08
        As you may have noticed, the Daily WPF has been less than daily the past two weeks. This will remain the case until next year :)

        In the meantime I'd like to wish you all happy holidays; enjow Christmas, with your family and loved ones. Share meals and conversations and have a good ti

      • Bubble Charts

        The Chart feature of Silverlight is getting a lot of bloggage. Another great topic about Bubble Charts (amongst others) by Jesse Liberty!

      • XamlReader is Culture Specific
        12/18/08
        This is a nice tip from Jeff Prosise: XamlReader.Load takes Culture specific strings!

        Good tip. It can be pretty frustrating to try and find these kind of bugs. But I do believe there is also a Code Analysis warning about adding CurrentCulture when using String.Format().

      • WPF & Silverlight Line of Business UI Design Pattern Home Page
        12/12/08
        Karl Shifflet has started a great page called the WPF & Silverlight Line of Business UI Design Pattern Home Page. It's all about using WPF/SL for LOB applications and he's planning on explaining all about the Model-View-ViewModel pattern (used extensively in Prism).

      • WPF and (Iron)Python
        12/09/08
        To strengthen my development skills I'm going to dive into Python in the coming period (you can see this as a pre-new years resolution). But, since I've also got this blog, I started looking for the combination Python and WPF.

        First link I came across: Hello WPF in IronPython. T

      • Moonlight (Silverlight on Linux with Mono) podcast
        12/05/08
        Just finished listening to Moonlight (Silverlight on Linux with Mono) podcast on Hanselminutes with Miguel de Icaza and Joseph Hill. A nice talk about the future of Moonlight/Mono.

        As the first beta was released for Moonlight a couple of days ago, it's interesting to hear where the p

      • Silverlight games 101
        12/04/08
        The Silverlight Games 101 is focuessed entirely on game-making in Silverlight 2 (as was to be expected from its title). The latest posts is about A simple Silverlight game particle system:

        Particles are a key part of game programming. When it comes to explosions, smoke effects, and many o

      • [Non-WPF] TypeAlyzer - Analyze a blog's style
        12/03/08
        Through the Elegant Code RSS feed I came across the Typealyzer blog. Based on language use and topic (I guess) this site determines the style of a weblog. Obivously I had to try my own attempt at a weblog as well. This is what came up:

        ENTP - The Visionaries

        The charming and tr

      • Flash Versus Silverlight
        12/02/08
        I'm not going to discuss this tough issue here :) The title of my blog pretty much sums up which choice I've made, so I'm biased. Nevertheless, the discussion is interesting as are the comparisons. Luckily, Terence Tsang has devoted his entire blog ShineDraw.com to Silverlight-Flash c

      • XAML Refactoring or the lack of it
        12/01/08
        Jonathan van de Veen has written a nice post containing some of the quirks he's noticed while developing Silverlight apps. The most annoying one is:
        Refactoring doesn't effect XAML
        Why this is I don't know but it's the same when you're doing ASP.NET. Changed some e
