C# 4.0 dynamic keyword for Dummies – Under the hood
In this post, we’ll go back to the basics to uncover few interesting aspects of C# 4.0 dynamic features. Let us start with a simple experiment. Static Typing or Early Binding Let us start with a bare minimum program. Fire up VS2010 and try the following code. It is obvious that this won’t compile. Simply because, the compile/design time checking ensures type safety - and as we don’t have a method named SomeStupidCall in our Human class, we can’t compile the same. So, that is what you get.

Triggers and Actions – Scratching the Surface A Trigger can invoke a set of Actions, when it is fired. For example, you can nest few actions (like PropertyChangeAction to change a property of an element) in an EventTrigger, so that those actions will get executed when a specific Event occurs. You can attach more than one trigger to an element. If you have some WPF background, you may quickly remember the DataTriggers, MultiDataTriggers etc. There are various Triggers and Actions that comes ‘out of the b... (more)

A Silverlight helper class to get/set Dependency property values of other objects
In my last post on Dependency Properties (Read here), I explained how to  listen for dependency property change notification of a UI Element. Here is a more ‘refined’ extension method - so that you can listen to Property change notifications of a source - by creating and registering a ‘listener’ dependency property in your class ('owner') and setting up a binding with the ‘source’ object. Remember that starting from Silverlight 4.0, you can even have dependency objects as the source. This is useful wh... (more)

I was digging a bit around Silverlight Dependency properties, mainly to see how to receive change notification when ever a dependency property is changed. In WPF, this is straight forward, you may use the DependencyPropertyDescriptor, and call AddValueChanged. Like this. DependencyPropertyDescriptor desc = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty (UIElement.VisibilityProperty, typeof(UIElement)); desc.AddValueChanged (this.myLabel, new EventHandler(VisibilityChanged));   Now, how to do this ...

Before we begin - these are few random thoughts and speculations on the possibilities of having a Silverlight Operating System. If Google can think about an Operating System on top of Linux + Chrome, why Microsoft can’t think about a Silverlight OS, probably on top of MinWin? Especially for Atom PCs, Handheld devices, IP TVs etc. This might be already there in the cards – I don’t know.

Recently, a lot of interest is bubbling up in the .NET community about reactive programming.

Let us keep it simple. To understand the real spirit of reactive programming, let us consider a small example, result = var1 + var2.
