Touched ( Part 2 )–Raw Touch Events - Mike Taulty's Blog - Mike Taulty

jantu 975 days, 18 hours, 53 minutes ago

Following on from that previous post I wanted to take a look at processing raw touch events. In truth, I suspect that most application developers don’t want raw touch events and would rather work at the level of gestures and/or manipulations but being able to get access to the raw events at least means that you (or someone else) can build a higher level framework so I think it’s worth starting at the bottom of the stack. Let’s take a look at just picking up some raw events across different frameworks.... (more)

Touched ( Part 1 )–Getting Touch for Free - Mike Taulty

jantu 975 days, 18 hours, 54 minutes ago

Multi-touch interfaces are becoming more and more prevalent. This week saw the launch of the Windows Phone 7 where the interface is mostly (or almost entirely in the case of phones without keyboards) touch driven and it’s hardly alone amongst the Android, iPhone and iPad devices for making use of multi-touch in its interface. On the desktop (or laptop, or netbook) side of things, Windows 7 has brought a consistent approach to touch capable screens in the same way as Windows has traditionally brought a c... (more)

On October 9th 2010 I did a presentation at the Silicon Valley Code Camp on the Application Lifecycle for Windows Phone 7.

Better to wait and really do a good job, so here it is.Introduction First, I would like to acknowledge the outstanding decks and examples that the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Evangelism Team has been and continues to publish.

Is that a BLOB in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? [Silverlight REST-based Azure/S3 BLOB API updated to run on Windows Phone 7! - David Anson

It was about five months ago that I blogged about BlobStore, a simple Silverlight 4 REST-based cloud-oriented file management app for Azure and S3. I pitched it like this:It's a small, lightweight Silverlight 4 application that acts as a basic front-end for the Windows Azure Simple Data Storage and the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)! Just run the BlobStore app, point it at a properly provisioned Azure or S3 account (see below for details on provisioning), and all of a sudden sharing files with yourse... (more)

Scrolling menus are dead! - Brian Harry

published 976 days, 17 hours, 52 minutes ago posted by

jantu 978 days, 16 hours, 6 minutes ago

OK, maybe not quite but a big step forward. This week we released a hotfix for both VS and WPF that changes menu placement to eliminate scrolling menus when there actually is enough vertical real estate to avoid them. In the screen shot below (with the patch applied), you can see that menu has been moved up (relative to the right click target – Program.cs) to avoid clipping the menu at the bottom of the screen and having a scrolling menu. Pre-hotfix the menu would have been vertically aligned with Pro... (more)

Debunking another myth about value types Fabulous Adventures In Coding - Eric Lippert

published 981 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

jantu 982 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes ago

Here's another myth about value types that I sometimes hear: "Obviously, using the new operator on a reference type allocates memory on the heap. But a value type is called a value type because it stores its own value, not a reference to its value. Therefore, using the new operator on a value type allocates no additional memory. Rather, the memory already allocated for the value is used.".. (more)

Janet Perez joins John for a 2 part series on using Sketchflow to create rich interactive prototypes using Sketchflow. Janet shows how to create the project and add pages, buttons, and all of the elements you are familiar with already and create a work flow. The result is a more engaging prototype. (more)

Deploying Silverlight assemblies via NuPack - Tim Heuer

published 981 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

jantu 984 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes ago

It’s a pretty cool mechanism for getting .NET libraries. For other open source developers this concept isn’t something new (i.e., gems). But for .NET developers it might be because it is a difference from the way we typically have received dependent and 3rd party assemblies for our projects. It provides a PowerShell script mechanism for adding packages as well as the well-known “Add Reference” gesture for VS developers. (more)

There's no substitute for customer feedback! Improving Windows Phone 7 application performance now a bit easier with LowProfileImageLoader and DeferredLoadListBox updates - David Anson

published 983 days, 19 hours, 6 minutes ago posted by

jantu 986 days, 18 hours, 40 minutes ago

Windows Phone 7 applications run on hardware that's considerably less powerful than what drives typical desktop and laptop machines. Therefore, tuning phone applications for optimum performance is an important task - and a challenging one! To help other developers, I previously coded and blogged about two classes: LowProfileImageLoader (pushes much of the cost of loading images off the UI thread) and DeferredLoadListBox (improves the scrolling experience for long lists). These two classes can be used ind... (more)
