WPF DataGrid CheckBox Single Click Checking/Unchecking(www.mikeborozdin.com)

submitted by MikeBorozdin(1146) 11 months, 13 days ago

WPF DataGrid has a very annoying behaviour of forcing users to click twice on a checkbox in order to check or uncheck it. There are a number of solutions proposing handling mouse preview events and switching a DataGrid into the edit mode manually. The problem with such solutions is that the require writing quite a lot of extra code that seems to be an overkill for such a minor, yet irritating problem. I propose a better option, to use a DataGridTemplateColumn instead of DataGridCheckBoxColumn. read more...

Design Patterns are not a Silver Bullet and the State of the Programmi(mikeborozdin.com)

submitted by MikeBorozdin(1146) 2 years, 4 months ago

Design patterns are not a universal tool that can be applied to any project or be used with any programming language. Quality code can be produced without implementing any pattern or even without using OOP. One shouldn’t think of their colleagues as of bad developers if they don’t know the names of fancy design patterns. Moreover, not any single programming project is a business application. read more...

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 7 months ago

I received several questions on how to pick a Design Pattern, which motivated me to write this post.

Instead they need to analyze at a higher level, the problem they are attempting to solve and pick a Design Pattern that is most appropriate. read more...
