Awesome Visual Studio Command Prompt and PowerShell icons with Overlays - Scott Hanselman

published 1006 days, 1 hour, 16 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1008 days, 23 hours, 31 minutes ago

I'm not using one of the "icon people." By that I mean, I don't collect icons, or change all the icons on my system to custom fancypants icons. But, I noticed today that I was using the Command Prompt alongside a Visual Studio Command Prompt (which is just a command prompt with the right path and environment set) as well as regular PowerShell as well as a PowerShell prompt with "VSVars32" set (again, just PowerShell with the right environment setup). However, their icons all look the same. Seemed like a... (more)

Reactive Extensions for .NET “stuff happens” - Mike Taulty

published 1008 days, 22 hours, 8 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1009 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes ago

I’ve been taking a look at the Reactive Extensions for .NET. It’s early days for me at this point but I’m finding what I’m seeing to be really interesting.This is code that’s available from the DevLabs; and there are versions for .NET 3.5 Sp1, .NET 4.0, Silverlight 3, Silverlight 4 and also for JavaScript. The essence of the library is around consuming asynchronous and event-based work using observable collections that “push” items of interest at a composable set of observers.Update to post – I ...

Windows Phone performance progress bar update: part 2, remember to turn IsIndeterminate off when not needed!Posted August 17th 2010 to Silverlight,Windows Phone Your application’s progress bar should look good, but it should minimize its cost as much as possible to ensure that the available CPU cycles are spent doing your hard work – parsing code, making and processing web requests, and responding to the user’s touch input – all of which happens on the UI thread.

Storing and playing media on Windows Phone 7 - Tim Heuer

published 1008 days, 22 hours, 8 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1010 days, 1 hour, 54 minutes ago

In talking with a friend about some Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight stuff recently. He was giving me some great feedback about a few things (all of which I’ve passed along). One of the things was what I felt was a common task that might exist in the mobile space but admittedly isn’t as clear if you are just coming to WP7 development. The scenario is that of downloading media files and storing them for later playback. (more)

Coding Without A Net - Coding without comments - Jesse Liberty

published 1010 days, 20 hours, 40 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1013 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes ago

I recently imposed on myself the constraint of coding without comments. Why? * Comments rust faster than code, even when you’re careful * Well written code can be read, and comments are annoying footnotes * Comments make for lazy coding Now, setting the bar at no comments at all seems a bit fanatic, but any value greater than zero is an invitation to using comments when better approaches are available, and like any addiction, I bet you can’t stop at one.

It's been a few months since I posted my previous collection of Silverlight/WPF Charting links. In the meantime, the April 2010 release of the Silverlight Toolkit was published with support for stacked series and significant performance improvements! And Windows Phone 7 has been steadily building momentum - it's handy that the Data Visualization assembly also works on Windows Phone! So there's lots of good stuff - here are all the links (FYI: previously published links are gray): (more)

The Case for jQuery’s .delegate() Method for Dynamic Event Binding - Rey Bango

published 1013 days, 23 hours, 14 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1015 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes ago

Binding events is one of the most common tasks a JavaScript developer has to do. It’s integral to the way our applications handle user interaction and response. Since it’s inception, jQuery has had event handling via various helper methods that helped to abstract cross-browser differences. If you’re a jQuery developer, I’m sure you’re used to syntax like this:$("#clname").click( function() { alert( "Rey" ) } ); which would bind a click event to a DOM element with an ID of “clname”. Very easy to unders... (more)

Random Walks For Windows Phone 7 - Jesse Liberty

published 1013 days, 23 hours, 14 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1015 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes ago

It makes me a little crazy that every time the markets go up or down the newspapers cannot resist attributing a reason (though they’re not so good at predicting!). Today’s NY TimMarket Predictores: “Markets down 2% on concerns about slowing economy.” Oh Yeah? How do they know that’s the reason? Maybe it is the cost of oil, the situation in the middle east, unemployment, gamma waves… So I decided to try an experiment: let’s predict up or down randomly, and give reasons, and we’ll see how well we do.

Absolutely Incredibly Essential Utility of the Month - Jesse Liberty

jantu 1015 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes ago

A couple months ago I wrote a column about two “Indispensible” utilities, one of which was Launchy.I had to issue something of a retraction:It has it all. Set up takes zero time. The defaults are excellent so you can just run it. If you want to tweak it, there are more options than on the space shuttle. And it is wicked fast, and does a lot more than finding your applications, but it does that incredibly well. (more)

StringFormat and CurrentCulture in Silverlight - Tim Heuer

published 1013 days, 23 hours, 14 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1016 days, 1 hour, 48 minutes ago

I recently got a note about a nagging issue in using StringFormat in XAML binding expressions and how it doesn’t honor the current user’s culture settings. This is true that there is an issue in that it doesn’t in WPF or Silverlight. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Silverlight introduced the ability to use StringFormat in data binding expressions (WPF has had this since 3.5 SP1) so you could do some formatting in-line in your binding. Like this. (more)
