I want to start making some articles for Windows 10 UAP but I do not know where is the best place, any advice?

I recommend you to take a look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Design There you have the xaml in order to get easier the information for the templates that you want to create in CSS3 I guess. And I hope that the CSS3 draft grid come official some day.

Ja ja it is true. I live (programmaticaly talking) in the end of the world. People here does not know what it is WP7, Android and with tablets say what!. I am posting in my new blog interesting things. Thank you for remembering me. I will post a complete article with the windows 8 template soon. (For WPF of course). The only thing I am lost is with the issue that WPF doesn't have projections (because is pure 3D) so the tilt and else is confusing.

I have seen a few posts (articles they say) in the home page today. I think people should think more about it before post them. Tips to do a good article about MVVM. 1.- Read about ICollectionView and CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(List YourList); 2.- Read about ListView and ComboBox and its IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem 3.- Do things with backgroundworker befores updating the UI property binded. 4.- Add user controls as Views not directly the main form 5.- Add some validators to explaing better the binding. 6.- There existis a DelegateCommand in .toolbox that it is great (Do not invent the wheel again). 7.- Use CurrentItem in some place to show that it is great to use 8.- Show how to update, delete, add data with the commands in the twoways not only showing data.

Yes I am alive, and yes there is an efficient sword right there, I thinks it was a humble add, but well ok it is vanished now. I suppose I can say 'take a look to my profile and my webs and my blog right now' it is not an add, isn't it? Regards, JP

Hello, I have created a new article Automatic WPF mapping to Database (Access 07 edition)[^] and I would improve some parts if it's possible, I created a list of controls,dependency properties,string like: mapping.CustomAdd(C1_Name,TextBox.TextProperty,"Name"); where the third column is the name of a field and by reflection I get/set the value of the class. My question is: Is too much overheard add dependency properties linked to fields of a custom class? The class has to inherit from control? Any example of implementing it would be great, Thanks

Of course, you can always do that, but is a test, in access I can do, and I would like to know how to do in code.

I'm preparing an WPF article that creates storages automatically from classes with nesting and else. The issue is that in the ACCESS db execute , everything works fine but images bigger than 12 KB I get the error: 'System resource exceeded.' I show the process:

public Database db;
public DBEngine engine;
this.db = this.engine.OpenDatabase(file, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value);
access.db.Execute(String.Concat(query, values), Missing.Value);

in values, the data is directly:

0x89504E47...454E44AE426082

It works with small images, and if I add with the Access directly design it works, so the field type is right, Maybe is an issue with connection size properties. Does any store a big image with DAO12,ADO, or OLEDB with an Insert statement? Thanks in advance, a great article is coming...

Maybe you consider not really interesting programming the NDS, but do you renember ZX80, MSX, Amiga when a small team or a single person indeed made a real exciting game. When I was young I only did some menus in basic, and now I have the possibility to make my own great games on the NDS. After being learning, is has a great well "engine designed". Beacuse it has the possibility to define different backgrounds, a great amount of sprites, possibility to make effects and so on. Would you think interesting to write here an article about programming the NDS?,for more details take a look to my blog and forum.gbadev.org->nds development section.

Good afternoon, I'm investigating about the ScrollBar and I have found some info that could be interesting, using a VisualStyleRenderer VisualStyleRenderer render = new VisualStyleRenderer(VisualStyleElement.ScrollBar.ThumbButtonVertical.Normal); Rectangle thum_pos = render.GetBackgroundExtent(e.Graphics, vScrollBar1.Bounds); Does anyone know how to get the Elements Position of a control using the VisualStyles and overpaint them?... All info and links will be welcome. Thanks everyone

The best is use make an array with the strings and after use items.AddRange, and also for Painting part.
