Thanks for sharing this. Really helped clear up some confusion in my mind about how to structure this sort of thing, and why/how Viewmodels should be used.

Comment on Use T4 code generation to add INotifyPropertyChanged to ADO.Net Data Services (Astoria) Entities by james klett

I have been searching all over the web for all the answers to this problem and have found all kinds of solutions to this problem and not liked any of them becuase they are all just way to complex for such a simple thing. I makes a guy very frustrated at MS for not at least providing an option like “Generate PropertyChange Notification? yes/no”

Anyway, this is EXACTLY what i was looking for.

Also the funny thing is that i have been waiting for a good freason to use partial methiods but hjad not found one yet

thanks

Awesome idea, thank you Rob!

Weird that Microsoft doesn’t provide a built-in option for tiling backgrounds – nothing new to them

One thing a XAML Noob like myself has to remember – place this Canvas into a Grid Element along with the rest of your content.

My mistake was to put stuff INTO the Canvas, which of course didn’t work due to the Children.Clear() call.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Dim

Could you provide a line or two of how you reference/use this class from XAML? Thanks.

Comment on Build yourself a portable Dependency Injection container by coordinate

I learn a lot from your articles. There is a little alleged.

Why did you determine existence of “typeof(S)” and then rename “serviceNames[typeof(S)]” in “Register(string name)” function.

public DependencyManager Register(string name) where C : S
{
if (!serviceNames.ContainsKey(typeof(S)))
{
serviceNames[typeof(S)] = name;
}
return new DependencyManager(this, name, typeof(C));
}

If serviceNames contains “typeof(S)”, serviceNames[typeof(S)] will not be renamed. But new DependencyManager with different name will be returned.
