In this article I will walk you through this new property and the different effects of each of it's possible settings. read more...

Bad advice on exceptions from Joel(littletutorials.com)

submitted by contour(490) 3 years, 9 months ago

Starting from some comments on my exception handling series of articles I run into a couple of blogs pointing to this post on joelonsoftware.com. I think this is the worst advice on exception handling I have ever read, sorry Joel. I know this is an old post, I know Joel is entitled to his own opinion and I know he has the right to write his code as he sees fit. But as an opinion leader he influences others. read more...

Code review - The meaningless ritual(littletutorials.com)

submitted by contour(490) 3 years, 9 months ago

Most of the time code reviews are a meaningless ritual. Everybody pays lip service to the importance of code reviews and a lot of people, especially in the management, are convinced that code reviews very effectively reduce the number of shipped bugs. The problem is… most developers hate code reviews and avoid them like the plague. If they can’t avoid them, then they show up and act their part like in a play at the theater of the absurd. read more...

XNA, Meet WPF(jmorrill.hjtcentral.com)

submitted by Lord(3737) 3 years, 9 months ago

The new D3DImage in WPF opens up worlds for WPF. Direct3D content rendered with WPF...it doesn't get any better! The downside is it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that Microsoft was only targeting unmanaged Direct3D. Yes there is Managed DirectX, but it seems as if MDX is no longer being maintained and it's not so obvious how to get a D3D surface pointer from the API. It really seems MDX has been left in the dust in favor for XNA, which is a very intuitive D3D wrapper. XNA further exacerbates the issue with XNA and WPF. read more...
