It has been quite a New Year so far. As of today, Monday January 14th 2008, I have left Speedway and the Speedy Rewards™ team and found new employment with SDS Consulting and I have new eyes courtesy of Lasik Plus of Dayton . I'd say that's a...
Here's one of those real-world situations that no one bothers to demo. If you are building a form or have some sort of input your gathering from the user, you'll likely want the first input control Focused initially. You have a few ways to do...
This evening the Central Ohio .NET Developers Group was nice enough to let me present on WPF. Everything went fairly well, though it was more a test of my efficiency in WPF development than I had planned; I managed to leave behind the external hard drive...

[Update: These are being posted due to the ftp access restrictions at the Microsoft Campus] Today has been pretty intense which has kept me away from blogging "live". Today started with Kevin Moore , Program Manager for WPF/Blend(?), and a lightning...
To avoid disappointing users after they've gotten as far as running your application on their 1997 300mhz Pentium II, determine their capabilities using the RenderCapability.Tier value before hand and notifying them that they'll need to joing...
For those who don't already know, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am the last person you would ask to design an appealling interface. Messaging, thread syncronization, etc I'm your guy, but pretty pictures I am not.
We moved past the introductions quickly and are getting down and dirty. Rob Relyea took us through the basics of WPF from the latest Visual Studio Orcas perspective. Starting simple by creating a button via Xaml and a duplicate example using purely C#...
My co-worker Steve and I are here in Redmond this week for a WPF Bootcamp training session. We started off by meeting the WPF Product Unit Manager, Ian Ellison-Tayler, and Lead Program Manager, Rob Relyea. Ian ran through some existing WPF applications...
