I switched from iPhone 3GS to a Samsung Omnia 7 with Windows Phone 7. Windows Phone 7 has  a really great user experience, especially with a great display like my Samsung Omnia 7 has. I even like the user experience of Windows Phone 7 much more than the user experience of my iPhone 3GS. And [.....

September last year I gave a talk at the BASTA-conference in Mainz about Silverlight 4 and WPF in .NET 4.0. I also gave an interview about Silverlight. You can watch it here: http://it-republik.de/dotnet/news/Einem-WPF-und-Silverlight-Experten-auf-den-Zahn-gefuehlt-057911.html

An der GUI & Design-Konferenz in Nürnberg durfte ich heute zwei Vorträge zu den Themen “Controls in WPF/Silverlight designen und entwickeln” und “Hardwarenahe Programmierung in WPF/Silverlight mit Pixelshadern” halten. Bei Ihnen als Teilnehmer möchte ich mich an dieser Stelle recht herzlich für das...

The Silverlight Firestarter-Event The Keynote of the Silverlight Firestarter Event has just ended. It started with a great business-application built by SAP, before Scott Guthrie mentioned Silverlight 5 the first time. Scott said Microsoft has implemented about 70% of the uservoice features requested...

It has been quiet here for some weeks. After I had finished my Silverlight book I just enjoyed the unfamiliar free time I had on Saturday and Sunday. I just used it for hanging around with my family and friends. Now I’m back in the optimum of work-life-balance. I’m going to start a series of [...]

Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten mit dem WLAN – wahrscheinlich ein defektes WLAN-Kabel - hat der Upload nun endlich geklappt. Anbei finden Sie die live programmierten Demos und die Slides zum Vortrag. Viel Spass damit und Happy Coding. Slides und Demos.

Exactly two years after the first release of the WPF-book the second edition is available since some days. Find more details about the content and where you can order it on http://www.thomasclaudiushuber.com/wpf. The Silverlight-Book has also been written and is currently running through the process...

This weekend I’ve to finish the second edition of my WPF-book. Luckily it’s going to rain tomorrow. But I’ve almost done it. This evening I’ve just ported a small sample for Animation Easing Functions from WPF to Silverlight. It was easy, all I had to do was using a PathGeometry instead of the not existing...

After Visual Studio has been released on Monday this week, Silverlight 4 is also available since Thursday. I’ll have to speed up my book-writing. As many of you know, I’m writing on a second edition of my WPF-book to .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. I’m also writing on a Silverlight-book (about Silverlight...

The Mix has started some hours ago, and here it is, the Silverlight 4 Release Candidate. Now you can move your development-environment from Visual Studio 2010 Beta to RC. There are also updates to WCF RIA Services, a WCF RIA Services Toolkit etc. Find everything you need here: http://www.silverlight...

Yesterday Visual Studio 2010 RC was released to MSDN Subscribers (find the link here), tomorrow it’s available for download for everyone. The performance is great as far as I can say by using it for at least one day. But it lacks on support for Silverlight 4 Beta. If you’re developing Silverlight 4 applications...

If you play around with the DataGrid in Silverlight and try some scenarios, maybe you come around the FormatException with the Message “Input String is not in a correct format”. You get this Exception if your Data-Object e.g. has a Property of type int and the user enters some characters in the DataGrid...

The Silverlight-Plugin runs per default on Windows and MacOs. For Linux-Machines there’s an opensource implementation driven by Microsoft and Novell called Moonlight. While Silverlight is currently in Version 3 available and Version 4 (already in beta) is expected for spring next year, the Moonlight...

Focusing a TextBox that’s inside a Custom Control isn’t so easy at startup of your application. Let me explain the problem that is also discussed on http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/151235.aspx. Imagine you’ve created a custom control that has a TextBox as Part-element. The Style that sets the...

On www.silverlight.net several people are asking how to print the values of a DataGrid in Silverlight. You cannot just assign the DataGrid to the PageVisual-Property of the PrintPageEventArgs. This would just print the DataGrid as it is on one page. The data wouldn’t be splitted on several pages, cause...

You can restrict the input-values in Silverlight’s TextBox by handling the KeyDown-Event. But the KeyDown-Event isn’t fired if the user enters a key by pressing e.g. ALT + 123. Corresponding to the problem mentioned in http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/147718.aspx, I’ll show here a short workaround...

Silverlight 4 supports printing scenarios. It’s quite easy. Just create a PrintDocument instance, handle the PrintPage-Event and call the Print-Method. In the PrintPage-Event set the PageVisual-Property of the PrintPageEventArgs to a UIElement of your choice. If there are more pages, set the HasMorePages...

… my expectations about a Major 4.0 release next year may come true: Silverlight 4.0, WPF 4.0, .NET 4.0, Expression Blend 4.0 etc. Today Microsoft announced Silverlight 4.0 Beta 1 available for download. There are impressing features for business applications like print support, clipboard, Drag’n’Drop...

Those of you, who have already developed with WPF “and” Silverlight might know, that Silverlight contains a different XAML-Parser than WPF does. Some days ago I read on the blog of Rob Relyea a great post about the XAML-Compilers, which create the g.cs- and (only for WPF) the .baml-Files. Rob is talking...
