Hello Caliburn – beginners guide to an amazing framework (1)
I knew about Caliburn for some time but never really tried it until I've found a very simple solution to a problem that appeared complicated. After struggling a bit and asking some newbie-stupid questions on twitter I've decided to get to know the framework from the beginning. And of course I was trying to understand a big sample before reading any documentation so everything seemed very hard and complicated. Since I could not find any tutorial with a legendary 'hello caliburn' application I've decided to write one - for me to remember basics and maybe for someone else to get them too.

It is a quite efficient way of creating a custom user experience by allowing the user to start from various entry points and navigate to the items they are interested in. Master-detail pattern is used in almost all desktop and web applications so recently I also came across a problem that needed its implementation. If you've never done that and you like data binding as much as I do keep reading to see how it can be done in WPF :-)

WPF Binding ItemsSource to Enum
I have found a very neat and simple way of binding an ItemControl to enum values. The trick is to use an ObjectDataProvider class which enables the creation of a XAML object available as a binding source.

WPF Control content with curly braces
For some people it is obvious but for me it was quite a discovery when I’ve found out how to insert curly braces into a Text or Content of a control. Surely you can’t simply write:

WPF ImageSource
A little How-to put an image from embedded resources into your WPF application. I have found it very useful especially when working with ListView and creating value converters for it.
