One of the things that I noticed immediately when I made the SmallestDotNet was that Firefox was reporting the version of the .NET Framework installed. There's a Firefox extension that is installed with .NET 3.5SP1. I was stoked about this because I'd like users of BabySmash to be able to use ClickOnce from Firefox to launch it. ClickOnce and Firefox When you install .NET Framework 3.5SP1, there's a key written to the registry whether Firefox ...

Silverlight 2 features a rich and robust control model that is the basis for the controls included in the platform and for third-party control packages. You can also use this control model to build controls of your own. In the August 2008 issue of MSDN Magazine, Jeff Prosise describes how to build a SimpleButton control that duplicates important aspects of the built-in Button control's look and behavior and provides a helpful first look at control ...

We had a good thread today at the office about the content scrolling in WPF applications (controls, DataGrid, etc.), and one of our devs, Ben Carter, had a response that I thought is golden and would like to share with you: Here are a variety of ways to scroll, perhaps one of these would fit the scenario you’re thinking of: · The default – provide a ScrollViewer and let the end-user do the work. · ...

Following on from this post I wanted to see if I could get my Client Profile installation to work with ClickOnce. To be honest, I struggled quite a bit with this. Sticking with my "Hello World" WPF application, I made sure that on the Publish tab of my projects' properties I had selected what to do about pre-requisites; and then I altered a few paths to point the ClickOnce process to my web server and ...

In nearly every bit of WPF training material or weblog there is some reference to the "ah-ha" moment. The point at which all the new concepts you've been learning gel into a cohesive unit. For me, that moment was one or two months after I started developing WPF in earnest (by which I mean for users other than myself). The task was to display two different indicators of a business metric, a green up arrow ...

I have been working on a new component that allows you to filter any list of items shown in a WPF user interface. My new PropertyFilterGroupView is definitely still a work-in-progress, so please do not drop this control into a production WPF application just yet! If you are interested in this, please leave me a comment with constructive criticism, feature requests, bug reports, etc. I’m interested to see what people have to say about it. ...

If you're building something like a .NET WPF client application then one of the major bugbears (for both you and for Microsoft - let's be honest here :-)) is trying to get the .NET Framework on to the client machine. We're trying to make this easier but if you were to look at the recent .NET Framework packages you'd perhaps not be able to tell that :-) They seem to have mushroomed up to approximately ...

There's been some confusion about the size of the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is not really a 200+ meg download. Which installer do I use? Here's the whole thing in a nutshell for Developers, ISVs, and Administrators. Offline Installer - One single file that can be run offline and can install the .NET Framework any system it's run on. It's complete, all platforms, installable offline. Online Installer - A 2.7 meg setup program that ...

Had enough media players, games, and animated shapes with Silverlight? How about integrating into some line of business applications? Microsoft produces an application called Microsoft CRM, now in it’s 4th release (those closer to the CRM information can correct me if I’m wrong…I’m actually not too familiar with the roadmap/releases of CRM). What is CRM? What you’d expect, a customer relationship management system…define your use of those systems as you wish. There are many CRM ...

One of the things I was really missing from WPF when I started to dig into data binding was feature consistency between the BindingListCollectionView and the Winforms BindingSource I had grown to love. The BindingListCollectionView provides the navigation, currency, filtering and sorting on the bound collection of data (or DataTable) just like the BindingSource in Winforms. However transacted adding and removing of items to the collections was not supported. You'll notice in my WPF Forms ...

One of my pet peeves is that many WPF projects I see have a window Title of "Window1" like this: Please pick a title that is descriptive of your application. In WPF, you can change your title by: Select the Window object in the designer, find "title" in the property grid, and give it a good value; or Open Window1.xaml and replace the value of the Title property on the Window element at the root.
