Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 for MSDN Subscribers(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 3 years ago

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 is now on MSDN along with .Net 4 Beta 1. Some highlights from the information: .Net 4.0 Cloud Development - Windows Azure which is basically utility computing where you pay by the hour for your usage. Parallel Development - Not sure if this only means PLINQ for .Net developers or if they are only talking about C++ devs. TDD Improvements - Editor changes for building test cases first, and then writing the code. ASP.NET - CSS grids and design surfaces changes, more Javascript debugging improvements. C++ Compiler - Lots of changes for C++ development, including MFC. Sharepoint templates New Project Templates Windows 7 - MFC updates for Ribbon UI, and WPF changes. Application Model Changes - Reverse existing codebases, and lots of changes in Architect Edition to support more model types (including Class Libraries finally). Test Runner - This is potentially huge as it allows testers to submit bug reports complete with callstacks and traces that you can actually use to resume an app at the error point to avoid the dreaded No Repro on bug reports. I have seen this demo and it is quite impressive. We will see how it actually works though. read more...

Creating a Custom Observable Collection in WPF | UX and WPF ramblings(sweux.com)

submitted by psampaio(115) 3 years ago

One of the biggest advantadges WPF has is its Data Binding features. Data Binding can be done in several ways, but the most common is using the INotifyPropertyChanged and INotifyCollectionChanged interfaces. For simple objects, all you need to do is implement the INotifyPropertyChanged, and raise the PropertyChanged event when your properties change. When you want to bind to a collection, you will want to use ObservableCollection<T>. This collection implements both interfaces, therefore notifying you when the items in the collection change and when the items' properties change. This works great if you're using standard collections. The problem arises when you want to use a custom collection. For databinding to work with custom collections, you will have to create a new "Observable" wrapper around it. read more...
