As I continue to build out a WP7 application using Caliburn Micro I ran into a odd error. When trying to inject the INavigationService I would get a ‘Missing Method’ exception as shown below: When I first started to look at the error it did not make any sense. Everything appeared to be in...

Last weekend I went up to Iowa Code Camp in Cedar Rapids and had the opportunity to do two presentations, one on NuGet and one known as the Automation Tools Roundup. ICC is one of my favorite conferences every year. It is twice a year and I try to make it to at least one of them. The people that...

If you are using the Code Contracts library in your application you may from time to time run into some weird build errors. Today I ran into a fun one as well. While building my code I received the following error in my error window: Of course I checked my output window but at first nothing...

Since the iPhone came out a few years ago the idea of using a stylus on a cell phone to perform any type of input action as become ‘old school’. Steve Jobs once said that if your phone uses a stylus you are doing it wrong (which by the way if I remember he was taking direct aim at Windows Phone...

Less maintenance. Less work to package during your automated builds. Too easy. Remember Our Old Friend _PublishedWebsites? You’ve probably seen the _PublishedWebsites folder when building websites in automated builds. If not you can stop paying attention now. Still with me? Great! So you know how it...

If you are building a WP7 application you really, really need to look into obfuscating your .xap prior to submission. For the time being PreEmptive is giving away a license of their Dotfuscator for WP7 usage. Running the tool via the UI is simple and easy, I want to obfuscate our .xap EVERY...

This is a follow up to my prior post on how to obfuscate a WP7 application, which is really just a call out to Bil’s post . While trying to get a large (when I say large it takes 2+ hours just to obfuscate) WP7 application ready for publication I ran into an error while trying to obfuscate our...

Easy and Instant deployments and instant scale for .NET? Awhile back a few of us were looking at Ruby Gems as the answer to package management for .NET . The gems platform supported the concept of DLLs as packages although some changes would have needed to happen to have long term use for the entire...

If you are in the process of trying to upgrade to the January WP7 tools and you are running the WindowsPhoneDeveloperResources_en-US_Patch1.msp package make sure you have closed down your emulator. I have found that when I had my emulator up and running the installer would launch, run for a second...

As we are building out our mobile WCF endpoints we want to be able to track/trend the size of messages which are being sent to our phones. We want to do this for multiple reasons 1) to trend our message sizes over time to make sure we are being good little developers 2) to be able to report and...

For those that have not yet heard, NuGet went v1 recently along with a whole slew of tools from the Microsoft folks. I’ve been lucky to be a part of the NuGet project and see it take shape over the past few months with community input and contributions. Even though v1.0 was released, we are already moving...

One of the great features (also one which is not fully implemented in my opinion) is the backstack in WP7. The idea of the back stack is that when you navigate away from a page that page is pushed to this stack so that when the user hits the back button (or it is done via code) the previous page...

Today I was trying to wrap some code in some tests (I got lazy and did not create the tests first… shot me). What I was trying to ensure was that my event handlers I passed into a method were actually being wired up for usage. Now I searched around the net for a while to see if there was...

In a previous post I mentioned how I was going to show you how UppercuT (UC) has the ability to make gems stupid simple to create and publish. You ask if gems can get any easier and to that I answer, “Why YES, they can!” How about just filling out the information for the gemspec, running...

In my last post I didn’t mention dependencies. Dependencies are their own animal. They require a couple more things to be in place. Let’s talk about those things. In the .NET world, the dependency for compiled bits is usually an exact version of a reference. Let me explain. So for example...
