Quick tip about changing SketchFlow’s startup page name (Silverlight)

Sunday, January 31, 2010 | From Pixel in Gene

When working in SketchFlow for SilverLight 3, the default file name of the test page is called “TestPage.html”. If this is not what you want, you can easily change it in the main SketchFlow project’s .csproj file. If you open up the <project-name>.csproj file, at around line 27, you should see a tag called <TestPageFileName>. [...]

PyBinding now hosted on CodePlex

Monday, January 11, 2010 | From Pixel in Gene

Almost a year back, I posted about an interesting project I was involved in, called PyBinding. PyBinding gives you an easy way to write IronPython snippets inside Xaml Bindings and completely do away with value converters.

I am glad to announce that this project is finally online on CodePlex. Since the time I posted, it [...]

Sketching, painting and Figure drawing

Saturday, January 09, 2010 | From Pixel in Gene

On my recent vacation trip to India, I had some time to get back to my old hobby of sketching and painting. A hobby I forgot to pursue in 2009. In fact I missed it so much that the feel of getting back to pencil and paper was great. Photoshop and Illustrator can definitely [...]

Bug fix in the sample on Virtualization in WPF Control Development Unleashed

Thursday, November 19, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

I recently received a mail from Marshall Price, one of the readers of my book WPF Control Development Unleashed, pointing at a bug in the sample from Chapter 8 (Virtualization). He had made some changes to the sample code in order to delete items from the StaggeredPanel. This caused a crash in the virtualized panel. [...]

Thursday, November 05, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

Wondering what would it look like if you built WPF controls using F# ? If yes, head over to Matt’s blog where he has translated almost all of the examples in my book WPF Control Development Unleashed to F# ! He is even starting a CodePlex project to host the source code. Kudos to Matt [...]

A panel that scrolls about a half-circle

Sunday, October 04, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

This post is inspired by an interesting idea sent by Bo Stilling, one of the readers of my book. It combines the ideas discussed in Chapter 4 “Custom Panels” and Chapter 7 “IScrollInfo” to create a panel that lays out the items about a half-circle. When you scroll the panel, the items move about a [...]

Creating a 3D logo from an image using Cinema 4D

Saturday, September 12, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

I have always enjoyed 3D modeling. The kind of tools you use and kind of thinking that is required is so different than my everyday job of writing code. That shift in mindset is quite challenging and also exciting. In fact, the only reason I keep coming back to 3D modeling is for this aspect: [...]

A SilverLight TreeMap control

Saturday, June 20, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

Treemaps are space-filling visualizations of hierarchical data. Each node in the Treemap is represented as a rectangle, whose size depends on some attribute of the data. For example, if I am representing the high-volume trades in a day, I could have a Treemap that shows different sized rectangles based on the volume of each trade. [...]

Using Attached Properties for view transitions, the ViewManager

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

Attached Properties is a wonderful feature of WPF and I find myself using it in a variety of scenarios. The most recent one has to do with view-management and transitions. The app that I was building has many visual parts that can be swapped out and replaced with something else. Each part is actually a [...]

A Design Pattern for communication between UI and ViewModel

Thursday, April 09, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

In the app that I am working on right now, there is a particular design pattern that I am using to communicate back and forth with the server side data. The app itself is structured into three distinct pieces:

A Service Model (SM), which is essentially a web-service with a bunch of data-contracts
A View Model [...]

Setting up XDebug on NetBeans 6.5 PHP IDE

Sunday, March 22, 2009 | From Pixel in Gene

Recently I was doing a bit of PHP development for my blog and playing around with the WordPress APIs. After spending some time deciding on the IDE to use, I hit upon NetBeans 6.5, which I think is an awesome tool for PHP development. It has fantastic auto-completion, syntax-highlighting, code-folding and refactoring support unlike no [...]
