The Patterns & Practices group at Microsoft have just released Prism version 2. I am pretty exited about this because Prism version 2 supports both WPF and Silverlight. And as it makes extensive use of the Model - View - ViewModel amongst other design...
In a previous blog post I pointed out that quite a difference between data validation between Silverlight and WFP. As I don’t think adding data validation in the UI is a good thing I focused on validation in the business object by throwing an exception...
The DataContext is a wonderful property, you can set it somewhere in the logical tree and any child control can just bind to properties without having to know where the DataContext was set. A great capability that makes live much simpler when writing...
When I am creating business applications validating the data in business objects, and displaying any errors, is always a big deal. Even though WPF and Silverlight both use XAML and support data binding the default way to display errors is quite different...
Last week logged about using a WrapPanel in a listBox and demonstrated how to get the content to wrap around, read about it here . Turns out the XAML can be even easier. In the previous post I used a ControlTemplate with a Grid to stop the WrapPanel from...

I have heard quite a few times that the ReplicatorActivity can only be use in parallel mode with a custom activity. The reason being that you need an extra property to store the current child data. When the ReplicatorActivity works in sequential mode...
.NET Reflector, by Lutz Roeder, must be one of the most useful tools I have when developing .NET code. Usually it is the first thing I install right after Visual Studio not even waiting until I need it because I know I will. So the big news is that Red...
Part 1 part 2 Part 3 Part 4 In two previous blog posts, part one and part two , I covered the fact that the ReceiveActivity and the TransactionScopeActivity don't work together very well. I demonstrated this using a sequential workflow and did show...

Visual Studio visualizers are pretty cool and can help you quite a bit when debugging but you need to develop them and that just ads to the workload. So how about having someone else do it? Well Microsoft added a few visualizers to VS2008 and VS2008 but...
As I mentioned previously I was working in a Workflow Persistence Service using SQL Server Compact as the back end store. Now this might not be the best persistence store to use in every application but it has a number of advantages. One of the main advantages...
