WPF Routed Events – Bubbling Several Layers Up
Recently, the WPF question of the day for me was how to bubble up a toggle button event through several layers with less code. In WPF we can easily add layers without worrying about wiring up delegates for each level.

Good Times on the New Contract
Just a note to the blog to say that my current contract has been going well. I'm working on contract direct from with own company, FreshMetrics, LLC. I get to have lunch with Rob Vetter (C# MVP) from next door. We get to catch up on user group stuff more often now. The work is great and the team is very serious about the art of software. It's much more silo'd and quiet than what I'm used to, but that can be a good thing. I've been heads down with systems analysis, user interviews, and plenty of documentation before building the final application. It's refreshing to actually have the license to discover instead of hack and go, then wonder when unit tests come into the picture if at all. I've been pushing myself to do things right with analysis, peer review, and now I'm almost done with unit testing. Yes - true TDD. It's been hard not hitting the WPF and WCF services first, but the application is much better already.
