Pimping your Win7 Taskbar – Extending the Win7 Taskbar with Managed Co(coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 4 months ago

While the project is still in alpha, but with all the coolness (and hype) around the new Win7 Taskbar, when Hüseyin tweeted me a link to this I thought it was pretty cool. I think the Progress Bars in the new Taskbar is going to be one of those “what did we ever do without this” features of Win7. A small thing, but all big things are really just lots and lots of small things… The new Win7 Taskbar is pretty neat, as is its programmability, but without a Managed wrappers (COM? cough… we’re about to enter the 10’s… cough ;) the bar is pretty high for most of us. Projects like this one will come in very handy in the coming years. read more...

Microsoft cracking down on community extensions(lovethedot.blogspot.com)

submitted by Ragoczy(655) 3 years, 10 months ago

Microsoft released a tool called Microsoft Source Analyzer, or StyleCop. It analyzes source code for standards violations. It's a 1.0 release, so it doesn't do some things ... like have a published API for custom rules or MSBuild integration. So the community dug in and figured out how to do these things and now MS is firing off license-violation emails. Don't they get it? The community wants to use the product, but it's too limited ... these extensions help make it better. read more...

Standalone Silverlight Applications (Moonlight)(tirania.org)

submitted by Lord(3737) 4 years, 1 month ago

Resourceful ASP.NET MVC: Multiple approaches to optimizing CSS(dimebrain.com)

submitted by dcrenna(1355) 4 years, 1 month ago

This article summarizes multiple articles on how to crunch, combine, cache, and compress CSS resources using the ASP.NET MVC demo template to show the methods in practice. The techniques used are meant to be a good trade-off between performance and time-saving, since CSS resources are dynamically processed once on the server, eliminating the need for tedious manual optimization prior to deployment. read more...

CodeProject: The WPF Podcatcher Series - Part 2 (Structural Skinning).(codeproject.com)

submitted by marlongrech(1000) 4 years, 2 months ago

About two months ago I unveiled a pet project of mine, named Podder. It is an audio podcast player (a.k.a. podcatcher) built in WPF. The application comes pre-loaded with a dozen or so podcasts, so you can start listening to episodes right away. If there are other podcasts that you would like to listen to, it is easy to add them into Podder at any time. Podder is free, fun, and easy to use. The first article in this series explained that Podder supports what I call “structural skinning.” This article explores what structural skinning is, how I implemented it, and even shows structural skinning in action as we examine a truly fantastic Podder skin built by Grant Hinkson, a professional Visual Designer. read more...
