  • Building a WPF Application: Part 1

    I actually meant to say in my last post that I had investigated the API options for FriendFeed and they have a C# wrapper already available here . It's packaged up in a single download with its Python and PHP counterparts. Unfortunately, it has compilation errors. I fixed the errors and then I let ReSharper (R#) have its way with it [ R#: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F]. Yes, I do understand that the Code Cleanup feature of R# can be a nuclear bomb of churn for diffing your source, but egads I do love it so. I also broke out the FriendFeed classes into separate files [ R#: F6] . Hmm, I just decided that I'll notate R# and VisualStudio keyboard shortcuts like this [app:shortcut]. Is there already a convention for that out there? I also decided to keep...


  • ASP.NET - Render Hidden Fields at the Top of a Form with .NET 3.5 SP1

    I just came across a nice feature in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 (currently in Beta ) that I didn’t realize was included.  It’s always nice to discover hidden gems from time to time.  With ASP.NET 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5 applications if a user or JavaScript function tried to do a postback before all of the ViewState and EventValidation data was loaded in the browser, a ViewState MAC validation error could be raised by the server. In ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 Microsoft provides a new attribute on the <pages> element in web.config that now allows all hidden fields to be rendered at the top of a form rather than at the bottom which can help to avoid the ViewState MAC validation error when people perform a postback operation before the page has finished...


  • Need Silverlight training? Here's a good deal, at least until July 31

    The quickest way for me to learn something is by watching an expert demonstrating it. If you're ready to do Silverlight or WPF development or just want to be ready for when you need these technologies, I'd recommend checking out these resources. Dino Esposito, MSDN magazine contributor and author, has a new training course on Silverlight 2 from AppDev training company. There are 10 hours of video training on CDs or one DVD where he demos all the features of Silverlight 2 and supporting technologies such as WPF, LINQ and WCF. He's a solid technical expert, and delivers the info with obvious enthusiasm for the technology. For .NET developers, a plus is he uses Visual Studio (instead of Blend) to do all his Silverlight examples. It's...
