In that post, I listed some of the most relevant features Needle has, one of them being its Fluent API. I thought it would be a would idea to talk about Needle again, but this time sharing some code and ideas behind i... (more)

Last semester, at the University, along with other students (Alejandra Stamato, Gonzalo Zamudio y Manuel Soldini), we had to create a game similar to Guitar Hero for the Algorithms & Programming III subject. Being a University subject, it had some specific requirements (mostly related to model specification and the entities that needed to be included). Additionally, we were given the choice to use either C# or Java to develop the game. Some of the requirements:Use TDD to develop de game. This lead to... (more)

As I explained in my previous post, this is an intermediate version until Prism 4.0 gets here and is mainly oriented to allow development in Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4, without the need of a manual migration from your side. Except from the project linker, which will be available soon in Visual Studio Gallery, all the features that were there for 2.1 version are back. So... (more)

Disclaimer: This blog post will not provide any new information on Prism’s future, as it simply is a merger of blog posts, forum threads and similar. If you follow the team blogs actively, you will probably already be aware about this information. There have been lots of threads in the Prism forum with questions like “is there going to be a Prism update before 4.0?”, “is there going to be support for Windows Phone 7?” or “what are the new features in the latest Prism source update?”.

Progressive Enhancement (PE) is an approach for building Web Applications that starts from the perspective that a user browser experience will support a minimum functionality, this is called base line, but has hooks to allow functional enhancements when a browser can support them. PE benefits users by supporting older browsers, but also supporting users with modern browsers and technologies by providing them an improved experience.

This thread from the Prism forum presents the following question (this is not an actual quote but a summary): Are there any examples with multiple Shell windows, as the Prism documentation mentions? First I re-read this article from the Prism documentation so I could get in the same page as the user. I’m not going to quote it here, but the “Implementing a Shell” section is the one where it is explained. Once I read that, the popular Popup Region from the Prism-v2 RI was out of the table so with Ezequie... (more)

As I thought this is a question that could interest many people, instead of answering this question directly in the Prism codeplex forum I decided to create a short blog post and answer it here.The answer is “kind of”. Silverlight 4 Beta, so far, only supports binding commands to controls that inherit from ButtonBase (Button and HyperlinkButton), as you can read in Tim’s and Mike’s posts.Therefore, if you are using Prism, these are the things that you will not need any more, and those that you will:No l...
