WPF/E CTP - Nice, but...
I just downloaded the WPF/E CTP bits (a good starting point for all things WPF/E is the new Dev Center ). If you are a C# dev who has waited for the CTP as eagerly as I did, be prepared for a slight disappointment: right now you can only use Javascript...

Looking back, looking forward...
2005 was an amazing year… GhostDoc became really popular (the VS2005 version alone had over 6000 downloads since the release in early November). The PDC was a great experience, and visiting Microsoft before that was a lot of fun. Being part of the “Show...
PDC 05: WPF (aka "Avalon") - Wow, I am impressed...
Data binding everywhere (every control, every property bindable), data templates (that can also be changed on the fly, depending on e.g. the value of a certain property) – I just saw virtually all my GUI problems of the last years solved. Okay, there...
Raising C# events doesn't feel right (and seems to have problems too)
[This blog post was inspired by reading “ Events, Delegate and Multithreading ” by Brad Abrams .] I'm pretty sure the language designers thought about the whole thing way longer than I did, but from the very beginning raising events simply didn't "feel...
VS2005 Color Scheme / XML Doc Comments : Who's Idea Was That?
This is what XML doc comments look like using my current color scheme in Visual Studio 2003: When I took a quick first look into the "Fonts and Colors" options of Visual Studio 2005 I was delighted to see a new setting "XML Doc Attribute", so I was hoping...
XML Documentation Comment Tooltips (Wouldn't it be cool, part 5)
While I do write XML documentation comments for all my code (except throwaway stuff), I rarely actually read e.g. the CHM file generated by NDoc . But as we all know, a cool feature of VS.Net is that the content of XML documentation comments is used in...
XML Documentation Comments (Wouldn't it be cool, part 4)
Each time I implement an interface or override methods in a derived class, I have to copy XML documentation comments for methods and properties manually. This is quite annoying - especially for interfaces, considering the fact that VS.Net 2003 has this...
Avalon/XAML: Cool, but...
I spent most of the past evening (European Time) reading blogs, soaking every little bit of information about the things to come and I must say that I was as excited as I am when following my favorite basketball team's away games reading text messages...

Find (Wouldn't it be cool, part 3)
Each time I'm searching my source code for the word "is", I wish VS.Net had something like this:
Intellisense (Wouldn't it be cool, part 2)
Everytime I use intellisense on a class with a lot of members (e.g. a class derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form ) I get overwhelmed by the huge dropdown list if I'm looking for a member I don't know the exact name of. So wouldn't it be cool if instead...
