As being most of the Wpf disciples most hated and trashed person. (lol) which never was my intention. I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve decided to carry on with converting one of my largest projects to WPF. Since Vincent Sibal has given a lot of help on his new DataGrid of which I applaud the entire team and since vs sp1 has come out it appears to be pretty stable. In fact I’m considering creating a blog just for people who are frustrated with learning WPF. I have a feeling that there are a lot of people just like me who where not getting it. But you really can’t blame these people. If any of you have ever learned COBOL. To me moving to WPF was like moving from MSBASIC to COBOL. Anyone that’s ever been in that position would be pissed off and you really get tired of re-writing code. Maybe it’s just my age showing but I have never had so much trouble moving from one language to another and I feel I should apologize for my comments and behavior. But the next time you guys run accross someone like me, try and discover what there real problems are, there may just be a few really easy things that they don’t understand that come super easy for you.

Hello
I have question about Behavior
Like a Control ( [ToolboxBrowsable(false)] ), it is possible to hide a behavior in the asset library?
Thanks

[…] Disicples Resources Page updated Hey all… I just updated the Resources Page for the WPF Disciples blog. There are loads of goodies in one place… Loads of MVVM […]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to draw hierarchal lines to child nodes in a WPF Treeview….
In VS2008 for instance the treeview has lines drawn from parent to child nodes.
In a WPF treeview there does not appear to be a simple property to set…..
Can you use data templates in conjunction with control templates or are they mutually exclusive….
Thanks
With all of the MVVM implementations (too many to list here) out there and much of the code/techniques have been admittedly influenced or outright borrowed from other MVVM implementations…. Can’t the members in the blogroll list discuss/argue the merits of their approach in a public forum and then come together and create a ‘guidance’ MVVM (full/light/Silverlight/Blendable) ??? Yes it’s a pattern, but for a beginner looking at nth MVVMs out there, there has to be a better way than another guru showcasing their ‘MVVM of the day’.
If the WPF Disciples group is going to live up to it’s line ‘We move the world forward’, then checking the egos at the door, coming together as a group and agreeing on a merit based / well thought out MVVM approach would be very well received.
Exactly how long did it take u to compose “Resources WPF Disciples”?
It has got loads of beneficial material. Thanks a lot ,Alissa
“Resources | WPF Disciples” ceoblogwatch was in fact in fact entertaining and instructive!
Within modern world that’s really difficult to do.
Many thanks, Jane
Try singing or learn how to start a dialogue,
the easier it is for their husband or boyfriend to what is blog beast lose weight?
There was a long pause and what is blog beast a
deep silence in the room, nobody’s pretending to be surprised.
I found the code here are very interesting and helpful. May I ask if all the source code has any copy right to use? Thanks!
