Inheritance is difficult and C# provides ways to control it or even to forbid its use. So how does that work!? (more)

RenderTargetBitmap - Visual vector to bitmap

posted by mikeukmikeuk 61 days, 4 hours ago
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 11:56:29 AM GMT
The most misunderstood and underused of the bitmap classes is probably RenderTargetBitmap. Its role in life is to allow you to convert the mostly vector based graphics that WPF uses to create a user interface to a bitmap (more)

BitmapImage and local files

posted by mikeukmikeuk 83 days, 5 hours, 39 minutes ago
Monday, December 21, 2009 10:17:09 AM GMT
BitmapImage is that class that you use when you want to load a file from the local file system or from a remote server - but the two cases have to be treated in very different ways. (more)

Loading Bitmaps: DoEvents and the closure pattern

posted by mikeukmikeuk 87 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes ago
Thursday, December 17, 2009 11:36:55 AM GMT
Sometimes loading a bitmap causes an asynchronous download and you have to wait for it to complete before using it - but how best to wait? The standard solution is to use an event but this breaks what would otherwise be a sequential flow. Can reinventing DoEvents save the day or is the closure pattern a better bet? (more)

Casting – the escape from strong typing - Chapter 4 Deep C#

posted by mikeukmikeuk 104 days, 5 hours ago
Monday, November 30, 2009 10:57:01 AM GMT
Casting is an odd business that has found its way into many modern languages via C and C++. Both Java and C# make use of it to allow programmers to escape the confines of strong typing without being able to create anything too unsafe. The big problem is that it confuses two aspects of dealing with variables – type and representation. (more)

Microsoft, isn't it a good idea to have a Silverlight OS against Google Chrome OS?

published 107 days, 19 hours, 26 minutes ago posted by http://amazedsaint.blogspot.com/http://amazedsaint.blogspot.com/ 110 days, 9 hours, 26 minutes ago

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. Just want to take a step back and see what all revelations are happening around the Silverlight + Cloud technology stac... (more)

Getting started with Silverlight 4

published 107 days, 19 hours, 26 minutes ago posted by mikeukmikeuk 110 days, 6 hours, 15 minutes ago
Thursday, November 26, 2009 8:30:17 PM GMT Tuesday, November 24, 2009 9:42:02 AM GMT
The whole premise of Silverlight was that it should be .NET for the browser. That is, a well-educated .NET programmer should be able to simply start a Silverlight project and work on it without knowing anything radically new. It is arguable that Silverlight versions 1.0 through 3.0 haven’t really made this promise come true. Now we have Silverlight 4 and perhaps it is time to take the promise seriously. (more)

Inside Dependency Properties

posted by mikeukmikeuk 113 days, 2 hours, 26 minutes ago
Saturday, November 21, 2009 1:31:02 PM GMT
One of the great mysteries of WPF is the strangely named "Dependency Properties". The main reason that they are a mystery is that they are usually explained in very complicated situations with so much extra going on that it can be difficult to work out what is special about dependency properties and what belongs to some other part of WPF. So let's see if we can simplify it without loosing the essential nature of the idea. (more)
