Data Binding – Data Conversion

Jesse Liberty has a very nice post on Data Conversion in DataBinding... timely for me since I was just looking at that last night:)... good job on this, Jesse!

The ComboBox control in Silverlight 2 RC0

Denislav Savkov continues the control excursion in RC0 by tackling the Combobox this time in the complete manner that we've grown accustomed to seeing.

Dirty Little Secrets - Episode 2

Shawn Wildermuth released Episode 2 of his "Dirty Little Secrets" podcast apparently after I unplugged, because I had my Zune software online:(... I was really impressed with his first one... it was VERY readable on my Zune80... I'll definiely scoop up this one tonight... you should too!... oh yeah, it's all about skinning a complex control with control templates!

Gerard Leblanc is starting a series that I've thought for a long time that someone would do... menus... his first outing looks and works very nicely... check it out!

Jonas Follesø tackles the daunting job of printing from a Silverlight page. I just had to go through a bit of this a few weeks ago with the CSS part to resolve a problem with a.NET page, but Jonas goes a bit farther and gets a very nice printout of his DiveLog!

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
