PerformanceHelper.cs Update: Perfmon, Console, and Debug Output options
I’ve updated my PerformanceHelper class that I’ll throw around certain code blocks to help trend or monitor performance. Before it was merely a PerformanceCounter wrapper with a few metrics, but now you can specify Console, Debug and/or Perfmon. You do this by using an XOR ( ’|’)…

WPF Controls TabIndex: Moving to the First Input Control
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 (in ascending order of…

Lap Around WPF @ CONDG
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 that had my code-snippets,…

Awesome Tool of the Day: WorkRave

Awesome Tool of the Day: StumbleUpon Firefox Add-On
The other day I happened upon the Firefox Add-On page and decided to give the recommended Add-On a try. I've been infatuated ever since. Though there's an inordinate number of buttons on the default toolbar layout, StumbleUpon is pretty simple: You/others browse the web and when…

"This problem is being researched"
I’m a big fan of the Vista Problem Reports and Solutions feature. I’d say it’s had a satisfactory solution to real problems +50% of the time, which is better than I can say for any Support FAQ or Help file I can recall. Today, though, I’ve been let down. Here’s what I’ve got –…
