posted by

jmix90 611 days, 11 hours, 47 minutes ago

Windows 8 is here and Visual Studio 2011 comes with it hand in hand. As you may already have read/seen/watch, there is a new set of applications coming named as ‘metro’. Visual Studio 2011 then comes with templates for different types of applications: basic Application, Grid Application and Split Application. Each one helps you create application for windows 8 with the metro style. In this post we are going to explore in details a first type of application template: the Grid Application. (more)

WPF’s DataGridCheckBoxColumn ElementStyle uses a wrong default value

published 620 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 621 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes ago

Today I found out a strange behavior in the DataGridCheckBoxColumn: it was not using the default template I set in the resources for the CheckBoxes and uses the default WPF’s one instead. This happens always when you set the AutoGeneratedColumns option to true and a work-around exists otherwise. (more)

Convert in code as in XAML: how to get the XAML processor’s converter

Sometimes you need to set property on controls from the code and then you realize that this is not like in XAML: these are not strings? No, they are not! This is because the XAML processor convert the string to the correct type when it process the XAML. In this post we’ll see how to reproduce the same behavior from the code: a little snippet which can help you someday ! (more)

Refreshthe WPF UI now: how to wait for the rendering to finish ?

published 623 days, 19 hours, 45 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 624 days, 22 hours, 31 minutes ago

WPF is really awesome to build reactive applications and data binding is here to push useful information inside of the User Interface. All is done magically and it’s wonderfully simple to create an application without knowledge of the internals of the WPF’s rendering. Now, I wan’t to talk about something which can useful in every WPF application : how to wait for the rendering UI to be done. This can also be rephrased to : “how to force the rendering after I performed an action ?“. (more)

Do you want a faster File.Exists / FileInfo.Exists / Directory.Exists ? I do !

posted by

jmix90 639 days, 9 hours, 48 minutes ago

Sometimes you need to check the existence of a file. Nothing is easier with the .Net framework which provide a property named Exists on FileInfo class. But it can be quite long, especially when the file is on a network drive. If so you’ll have to wait for a time-out to know that the file is not reachable. (more)

Workaround For Crash In Performance Profiling Tools for WPFIntroduction Every WPF developer knows the situation where you have a large line-of-business application, you’ve implemented all the features and when you finally run it on real data – it runs s-l-o-w.Optimization Time!

What ? Dynamic resources creates Memory leaks in WPF 3.5 (SP1) ???

published 781 days, 15 hours, 12 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 783 days, 13 hours, 49 minutes ago

Everyone is told to not use DynamicResource during its childhood in WPF-(wonder)land. They are simply evil and they kill the app performance. Sometimes, we fall in the dark side of the force and use them effectively to be sure that the application will follow the trend and suits itself well. This is not as bad as it seems and it is in fact sometimes necessary and wanted. But today, while I was trying to improve the performance and the memory usage of a WPF application I work on, I discovered that they w... (more)

[RIA Services] Why the client extended entities won't use the default backing store value ?

published 911 days, 3 hours, 38 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 911 days, 14 hours, 47 minutes ago

The title may not be clear but I am talking about the entities that you extends on the client side using the fact that they are partial class. You may think as I was that if you add properties in them with backing store field, the properties will get initialed nicely : this is not the case and the property will always use the default value for the property type. In this post we’ll discover how to perform our goal : create a property with the correct default value. (more)

When you have multiple projects in your solution, you often want to locate the active document in the solution explorer.

[RIA Services] How to force validation on my entities (and just the validation !)

published 941 days, 9 hours, 14 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 942 days, 19 hours, 39 minutes ago

RIA services solves for you a lot of problems and one of them is to add validations rules on the entities both on the client and on the server side. These differents rules are checked when you submit the changes from the client to the server or when you call “EndEdit” on the entities. But there is times when you want to leverage the validation without submit the changes or commit your object modification (in a IEditableObject way of talking). In this post we will discover how to do just this. (more)
