A single pretty important thing to mention, which held me up half an hour or so – for some reason, the installation program for the SDK doesn’t work correctly when used with the mouse. Specifically, the Next button on the first page and the radio buttons to accept the license do their jobs only when [...]

DDD day 3 is on June 3rd, 2006, and last time there I promised I would submit a session proposal myself this time. Here are the two proposals I just put in – I hope they’re not so specific that nobody likes them Refactoring made easy with Refactor!Refactoring is the process of changing implementation [...]

I’m going to be at DevWeek next week, at the Developer Express booth. We’ll be demonstrating the eXpressApp Framework, possibly also some of the other upcoming Developer Express products/product versions, like XPO, XtraCharts, XtraLayout Control, … Anything really, I guess. Mark Miller will be there, so this is also a...

It’s on June 10th, once more in Reading. Read all about it here. I think this date is a very bad idea, because it’s the Saturday right before TechEd 2006 in Boston starts. I don’t know whether I’ll be going to Boston or not, but I’m sure this will reduce the number of participants and potential [...]

Mark Miller demonstrates writing plugins for DXCore live in the latest episode of dnrTV. He sounds a bit hurried, but if you want to get into DXCore programming, this is definitely a Must View. And if you’re not yet convinced you want to get into DXCore programming, let me tell you of course you should. In [...]

A question I heard this morning made me remember this, and I thought it might be one of those improvements that many haven’t noticed yet. In VS 2005, the “Go to Definition” functionality has been improved an awful lot, in that VS creates a source code representation of class and interface definitions instead of showing [...]

int GetCount(IEnumerable enumerable) { int count = 0; foreach (object o in enumerable) count++; return count; } It’s that simple, right? Well, no, it isn’t. What you have to realize is that in contrast to ICollection, IList or IBindingList, IEnumerable is not an interface that’s by definition used with some kind [...]

As I mentioned elsewhere, I’m working on a DXCore plugin to enable (Tablet PC) ink drawing on the Visual Studio editor surface. A problem I stumbled upon in this regard was the scrolling functionality. Generally this is really easy to implement, using a transformation with the ink renderer. So I had this method: void...
