In this Issue: Shawn Wildermuth, Qixing Zheng, Amy Dullard, Andrea Boschin, Kirupa Chinnathambi, Stefan Olson, Katrien De Graeve(2), and Brad Abrams.


From:

Shawn Wildermuth used the IModuleManager interface in Prism to ultimately implement his own downloader to intercept the XAP file. And as usual, he's got all the code out there. um.. is it just me or does Shawn's new picture on his blog seem to follow you:)

Qixing Zheng introduces us to another color website (colourlovers.com)... don't be afraid of the spelling... it's right:) You need to register but then get access to lots of color resources and palettes that you can just suck into Expression Blend or Design.

Amy Dullard shows how to get the Visual Web Developer installed in Visual Studio by using the maintenance mode of VS through the control panel.

Read how Andrea Boschin explains how to use CollectionViewSource with the MVVP pattern by by exposing it as the type of the bindable property.

Kirupa Chinnathambi discusses various ways you may like to display your images in Deep Zoom that the default template doesn't handle, then goes on to show how to extend that template to do what you want.

Stefan Olson started with a post by Colin Eberhardt and enhanced the code to allow multiple bindings per element.

Katrien De Graeve shows how feedback from your customers is incorporated into SketchFlow, and how you get notified of that.

In this video, Katrien De Graeve introduces us to Composition screens in SketchFlow and how they are used.

Brad Abrams is now refactoring the demo to hide the data behind a WCF web service, and goes through all the steps involved. Note Part 7 was skipped by Brad not me:)

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • 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.
