The Canonical REST Entity Service - Ron Jacob

jantu 1030 days, 1 hour, 26 minutes ago

Recently I was doing a review of some .NET 3.5 WCF REST code based on the REST Starter Kit to see what it would take to move it to .NET 4.The more I looked at the code and thought about it deeply I realized that the mechanics of exposing a service over HTTP are not the hard part. What is difficult is to get the semantics of HTTP right. After spending some time reading through the HTTP spec I took a stab at creating the Canonical REST Entity Service (more)

Productivity Power Tools: A MUST Have - Cameron Skinner

If you use Visual Studio 2010 at all, stop what you are doing and install the Productivity Power Tools. It is extraordinarily easy to do so ( go to Tools->Extension Manager…, and search for “Productivity Power Tools” ): There are a number of fantastic features in the Power Tool deliverable, but the one I want to point out is the new Solution Navigator. ( There have been a number of posts about these capabilities today, but I simply couldn’t help myself on this. I had to write about it! (more)

jantu 1033 days, 3 minutes ago

The new MultipleMessagesPerPoll mode added to PollingDuplex in Silverlight 4, comes with some new timeouts , so I thought it would be useful to post a detailed description of how those work. Unfortunately this is not currently covered by our documentation, which is something we are looking to address in upcoming documentation refreshes. (more)

Hopping outside the box How to Leapfrog Bindings bridge DataContexts in Silverlight and WPF - David Anson

published 1032 days, 3 hours, 45 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1033 days, 9 minutes ago

The data binding infrastructure for Silverlight and WPF is extremely powerful and makes it easy to write powerful, dynamic applications without worrying about synchronizing the UI with every change to the underlying data. By leveraging this power, developers can think entirely in terms of the data model and be confident that any changes they make will be reflected by the interface automatically. (more)

Last month I blogged about the VS 2010 Productivity Power Tools Extensions – a free set of Visual Studio 2010 extensions that provide some really nice additional functionality. The initial Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools release included a bunch of really useful productivity enhancements – including a much faster “Add Reference” dialog, lots of code editor additions and enhancements, and some nice IDE improvements around document tab management. You can learn more about these features in my prev... (more)

Events and Delegates Under The Hood - Jesse Liberty

published 1033 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1035 days, 8 hours, 34 minutes ago

Many programmers come to Silverlight with little prior experience with C#, and thus conceptualize events as a response to an action that is “hooked up” using somewhat arbitrary syntax. All of that is fine, until it isn’t, and so this post will dive a bit deeper into Delegates and Events as core aspects of .Net languages. (more)

With the new beta of the Windows Phone 7 tools out (and the delivery a cool new developer device to my office!) I’ve been updating my sample application and working through a few new features. As I’ve done this I’ve found several things I’ve had to do some research on that I thought I would document to (hopefully) save you some time doing the same. My next couple of posts will cover some of those topics starting with a quickie on splash screens. (more)

Teaching An Old Control New Tricks With Templates - Jesse Liberty

published 1035 days, 8 hours, 19 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1036 days, 6 hours, 18 minutes ago

You will remember that in the previous post in this small series, we created a new button template with a new appearance and new behavior for the “standard” view states.This button will be used with our form, and the form in turn will (eventually) be prepopulated from a database. It would be very convenient if the button reflected the need for the data to be saved when the user updates any of the fields. The design calls for the button’s border to turn red when the user makes any changes, and to return ... (more)

Using TransferMode.StreamedResponse to download files in Silverlight 4 - Carlos Figueira

jantu 1037 days, 10 hours, 1 minute ago

After seeing some questions about this new feature added in Silverlight 4, I decided to post an example to see how it can be used in some real world scenarios. This new mode was added mostly to enable the performance improvements in the Polling Duplex protocol, but it can also be used by itself, such as to download a large file from a WCF service. The whole project for this blog post can be downloaded here. A simple download service contract looks like the one below. [ServiceContract(Namespace = "")] p... (more)

Code-First Development with Entity Framework 4 - Scott Guthrie

jantu 1038 days, 6 hours, 27 minutes ago

.NET 4 ships with a new and much improved version of Entity Framework (EF) – a data access and OR/M library that lives within the System.Data.Entity namespace.When Entity Framework was first introduced with .NET 3.5 SP1, developers provided a lot of feedback on things they thought were missing or incomplete with that first release. The SQL team did a good job of listening to this feedback, and really focused the EF that ships with .NET 4 on addressing it. Some of the big improvements in EF4 include:... (more)

Before I begin a quick note: congratulations and best wishes to David Johnson, currently the president of my alma mater, the University of Waterloo. The Queen has appointed him to be the next Governor General of Canada come this October. For those of you unfamiliar with the Canadian political structure, Queen Elizabeth is the sovereign ruler Canada; the Governor General acts as her direct representative in Canada and therefore has the (mostly ceremonial, but some real) powers of a head of state...

In this episode of Silverlight TV, Adam Kinney discusses how you can completely customize how a control looks and behaves. Adam explains how all Silverlight controls are lookless and that they can be customized using various templates depending on what you want to achieve. Instead of starting with a simple control like a TextBox, he demonstrates the power of templating using a ListBox and its various templates, including the ItemsPanel, ListBoxItem, Data Template, and more (we joke about the multiple nam...

Unlike a typical desktop or laptop, applications on your phone can be designed to work well when viewed in either portrait orientation or in landscape orientation. I emphasize "can be" because you do not have to make your application look nice across both orientations. You can just design for one. (more)
