Rudi Grobler replies to a few questions about how he gets great WP7 screenshots:

From:

Squeaking in just under the posting wire with 2 more WP7.1 posts is Kunal Chowdhury... first up is this one on grabbing the mobile operator and othe rnetwork info in WP7.1

Kunal Chowdhury's latest is on using the DeviceStatus class in WP7.1 to detect device information such as is there is a physical keyboard installed, Memory Usage, Total Memory, etc.

Oren Gal has the final episode in his Multiple Page Printing Tutorial Trilogy up... and this is *way* cool... Printing the driving directions.

Rudi Grobler continues his previous post about AgFX with this one talking about the PhoneApplicationFrameEx class inside AgFx.Controls.Phone.dll.. a RootFrame replacement.

Stephen Price's latest XAML snippet is about Binding to ActualHeight or ActualWidth... you've probably tried to without luck... check out the workaround.

Erno de Weerd decided to try the 'free' route to Drawing graphics for his WP7 app, and has part 1 of a tutorial series on doing that with Inkscape.

Joost van Schaik expounds on his "Catch 'em Birds" WP7 game in the Marketplace... specifically the online leaderboard using the services of Mogade.

WindowsPhoneGeek's latest post is discussing the ICommand interface available in WP7.1, and he demontstrates how to implement a reusable ICommand Implementation and how to use it.

Andrea Boschin is back posting about Rx, and promises this post *will be* Silverlight related eventually:) First up though is a socket server using Rx.

Vikram Pendse has a tutorial up for prototyping your WP7* apps in Sketchflow including a 5 minute video

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
