Improving performance of DataBinding, patience is gold(blog.decarufel.net)

submitted by decarufe(959) 2 years, 2 months ago

I came across a performance problem lately. I have a WPF Smart Client application connected to a Dynamics CRM back end. At some point in my application I have add a lot of lines in a data table held by an ObservableCollection class. The problem was each time I add a line into the collection a CollectionChanged event was raised and that triggered the update of some other fields, approximately 10 in my case. read more...

Canadian Developer Connection : Windows Phone 7 Session Videos and Sli(blog.decarufel.net)

submitted by decarufe(959) 2 years, 2 months ago

It’s only been a couple of days since MIX10 wrapped up, but as promised, we recorded videos of all the sessions and they’re now available online. It doesn’t matter if you missed a session or missed the entire conference, you can now catch (or re-catch) them all. The videos are all “two-shots”; that is, they feature two views: one of the speaker, shown in a window on the left, and one of the current slide, shown in a view on the right. They’re all in Windows Video (WMV) format, and for many of the presentations, the speakers have also made the slides available in PowerPoint (PPTX) format. read more...

You may already have read my posts about how to use INotifyPropertyChanged in a type-safe way (here and here), but sometime you don’t want to modify all your classes to use this method. All you want is avoid the use of a magic string to define the property. Your code will be refactoring proof. read more...

Fun with Func<T,TResult> Delegates, Events and Async Operations(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 7 months ago

Delegates are powerful for event handling, highly useful in LINQ and a core requirement for async operations. Func<T> makes using delegate based logic a lot easier by providing a generic implemenation that in many cases allows you to skip creation of a separate delegate and instead just point at the Func<T> definition which can be a big timesaver and a nice way to remove delegate defintions from your namespaces. read more...

Using Decorator Design Patterns to add Validation to an object(blog.decarufel.net)

submitted by decarufe(959) 2 years, 7 months ago

In most cases when someone write about the Decorator pattern it is usually related to UI stuff. The most common example is adding “decoration” to a control, for example a scroll bar. But in my humble opinion, this is not the most useful usage of Decorator. read more...

Introducing CodePaste.NET(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 10 months ago

As a learning experience for taking ASP.NET MVC for a spin I recently created a new site that has now gone live: Codepaste.NET which provides a public location to post code snippet and link them from social network sites that have limited input lengths and make code discussions otherwise difficult. The site's a work in process, but I hope it's useful to some of you for sharing and discussing small blocks of code online. read more...
