Como bien dijo Damián Galletini en un comentario de un post anterior , aun falta tiempo para tener una versión instalable de las betas y CTPs de Orcas y del .Net Framework 3.5, la espera no sería ninguna problema a no ser que estén desarrollando una aplicación que haga uso intensivo de WPF y alguna caracteristica nueva del framework como por ejemplo Linq, entonces es cuando la performance grafica del maquina virtual comienza a mostrar sus limitaciones y te empieza a limitar a ti, ya que muchas características avanzadas de WPF las vas a poder desarrollar en la misma, pero no vas a poder probarlas como es debido, teniendo en cuenta este escenario fue que me puse a buscar la forma de al menos poder correr el .Net Framework 3.5 en Vista, más que nada para poder probar los desarrollos en una ambiente más real. El procedimiento es bastante simple, para comenzar primero debemos tomar la carpeta v3.5.20209 que se encuentra en el path c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\ de la máquina virtual y copiarla Read More...

A useful feature that was left out of the first version of WPF is the ability to databind the value of Run.Text. I was still around when this feature was (unfortunately) cut — but don’t despair! It’s not actually that hard to write yourself.
We’ll do this by creating a subclass of Run, which I’ve creatively [...] Read More...

Flying often to Malaysia provided us with enough miles to get a "free" ticket to a european destination of our choice. I put "free" in quotation signs, because in fact you still have to pay quite a few taxes, not even mentioning the hotel and of course the kids' tickets, and also given the very low plane tickets prices in Europe currently, it didn't make that big a difference. So it was really more of an excuse for a weekend abroad coupled with a city's visit. We chose Barcelona, where none of us had ever been before (actually it was Chi Meei's first time in Spain altogether). With a flight of a little more than one hour, and then a taxi ride of 20 minutes to the city centre, it's really next door.So we left on Friday night, spent two great packed days visiting, and came back home on Monday, loaded with sun and colors. more...

MbUnit 2.4 beta 2 was cut tonight. This release sees updates to the private method testing (I will do another post on that), generics support in Assert.IsEmpty (GenericAssert.IsEmpty) as well other updates and fixes since beta 1. Bug [ MBUNIT-93 ] - CollectionAssert.Contains bug [ MBUNIT-96 ] - Assert.IsEmpty and friends should accept ICollection [ MBUNIT-101 ] - CollectionAssert.AreEquivalent does not properly compare collections of strings unless the string have been interned [ MBUNIT-102 ] - Explicit CombinatorialTest should not run its factories The 2.4 work is wrapping up now for the release, there after our efforts will be on the very exciting MbUnit Gallio. As ever my heart felt and eternal thanks to the folks that gave up their time and energy on this release, Vadim, Joey Calisay and Graham Hay. Read More...

Have you seen this yet? ChatBlender is a Messenger add-on that allows you to share and preview WPF/e formatted XAML right inside the messenger window. It’s like XamlPad (or Kaxaml) for Messenger. I’d like to say that this was my idea, but I get to say the next best thing: it’s an IdentityMine invention! This [...] Read More...

In 1971 I graduated high school and in the fall moved into a dormitory at Stevens Institute of Technology, a small but well-regarded engineering and science college in Hoboken, N.J. overlooking the Hudson River and Manhattan Island. Stevens Tech was the very first college to require all freshman to learn computer programming. At that time, computer-related courses at Stevens Tech were under the domain of the Electrical Engineering department. The required two-semester programming course was E11/E12. The language was FORTRAN. FORTRAN was a natural for engineering and science students. It was specifically designed to persuade the computer to do hard-core math. In her classic text Programming Languages: History and Fundamentals (Prentice-Hall, 1969), Jean Sammet quotes the opening sentence of the first preliminary report for the specification of FORTRAN dated November 10, 1954: "The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System or briefly, FORTRAN, will comprise a large set of programs to enable Read More...

Peter Bright writes about Windows Vista. In his look under the hood he talks about WPF and XAML ars technica has to be one of my favorite web reads ever. Good quotes… “If you as a developer don’t migrate your application, there’s a good chance that your competitor will migrate theirs, making you look bad.” Alot of exciting [...] Read More...
