Sorry for my lack of updates… I’ve been pulled off my Silverlight projects for the time and have been moved onto other tasks which involve jquery and Ext. Hopefully I’ll be back on C# track again soon!

Something like this should be so simple, but the way to do it eluded me. I had a shared file [version.cs] that I wanted to share with multiple projects. I would do my normal method of adding an existing item to the project and then selecting that file, however, every time I did [...]

It’s been awhile I’m afraid and my topics to post on have been piling up!  My work hard drive crashed on me and I’ve spent a lot of time just getting things back up to speed.  Anyhoot… feels good to be back.
This last timebox at work I shifted onto a different project – but still [...]

Short and simple [although it took me awhile to figure out], an element must have focus to receive a keydown event.
The KeyDown event is a bubbling event. This means that if multiple KeyDown event handlers are registered for a sequence of objects connected by parent-child relationships in the object tree, the event is received by [...]

I’ve been playing around with Wordpress themes and customizing them to better express myself, so over the next little while this page may look very different from day to day as I test things out to see if I like them.

Over the past two days many of the people on my team attended Microsoft 2008 Tech Days – the main reason for me at least being that they had a few Silverlight presentations. Much of the content I had seen before from MIX webcasts, but I was able to pickup on some tips/classes [...]

So, this is a little side post and isn’t related to any coding issues at all – BUT – it made my day and since it is related to Silverlight I figure I’m allowed to post it here
This amazingly brilliant person took the new[ish] Deep Zoom technology and applied it to one of [...]

I was looking to make my newly dashed border on my rectangle look like it was “moving” [as you see commonly in some applications when selecting an item].
To do this I created a doubleanimation on the “StrokeDashOffset” property of the Rectangle.

<UserControl.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Name="LassoAnimation">
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="lasso"

A co-worker of mine all of the sudden started getting the following error when she was trying to run/debug her Silverlight 2 application [web application with the plug-in being loaded via the auto generated html page]:
Unable to start debugging on the web server. The COM+ registry database detected a system error.
For whatever reason it [...]

A few days ago, I was looking around to see if I could find out how to run some basic code metric analysis on my projects. It seems like a few editions of VS2008 [the IDE we're using at work] DOES have some built in code metric evaluation, but only in specific versions of [...]
