MyFriends : A simple contact keeper using XLINQ/LINQ/WPF
The other week I was surfing the web and I came across something that perked my interest, and this article is kind of a result of what I found. Basically, I come from a database type of background, so am used to seeing forms with grids, list and listviews which were functional, but looked pretty boring. This is kind of why I like WPF so much, as you can make functional apps, but make them look really sexy. Anyone that has done any WPF will probably know, that there are a couple of data type controls, such a ListBox
and a ListView
, and with some clever binding and some templating/styling we could probably make these look like a grid. But the truth is that there simply is no DataGrid
or anything like that.
