My wife is a top talent.

CTRL+COMMA is the answer (Ctrl+,).

Pressing the key combination will open the new ‘Navigate To’ dialog that allows you to search for files, types, variables and members within your solution – and then open and navigate to them.

If you want to debug your Javascript code using Visual Studio in a Silverlight application you have to uncheck the ‘Silverlight’ checkbox under your website ‘Propertie’s section. You cannot debug both at the same time according to msdn.

I’m running Windows XP

Constraints list on MSDN.

Using example - create an instance of an object that must have a public parameterless constructor:

public class ObjectFactory<T> where T : new()
{
    public static T CreateObject()
    {
        return new T();
    }

}

Advantage: specifying a class that does not provide a default constructor will now generate a compile time error.

When I first time interacted with Expression Blend I liked a lot it’s theme. Now I finally found it’s clone made by Hadi Eskandari:

Other themes:

Rudi Grobler WPF Themes (New - based on the new Silverlight 2.0 themes)

Expression Blend WPF theme - Source code

Silverlight controls skins

ASP.NET 3.5 Grouping Grid Skins

Note:

• .NET 3.0, Visual Studio 2008 needed
• I’ll update this post on the run with new free themes (maybe some day with a personal one)

Finally I bought myself an iPhone - super cool device. As you probably know, I’m an User Interface guy and I admit that what I like the most at the iPhone is the UI, so I started to replicate it on WPF (rocks). The first control developed in WPF is the CheckBox:

Unchecked state:

Checked state:

Download ResourceDictionary (source code)

Download Demo Application + source code

Download executable

I’m not such a good designer but hope you like it.

What is a Tag Cloud?

Tag Cloud - a visual depiction of user-generated tags, or simply the word content of a site (the Book of Matthew in our case), used typically to describe the content of web sites. Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color. Thus both finding a tag by alphabet and by popularity is possible. The tags are usually hyperlinks that lead to a collection of items that are associated with a tag.

[most used words from Book of Matthew]

Jesus, Lord, kingdom, heaven, place, away, father, shall - awesome words
