Have you ever had an error crop up when debugging an application which has made you simply want to pull each hair out of your head one by one with a pair of tweezers because that would be less painful than debugging the error? Today I had just this happen to me. Today when I hit F5 to launch our Silverlight...

When building applications it is very common to have a set of screens which are basically list/edit screens. And when having these list/edit screens it is also common to allow users to delete a row. In this post I am going to show how you can add a neat little UI wrinkle to your deleting...

What Happened To Me I’d say that 2011 was a pretty good year for me as a .NET open source developer. After all, Caliburn.Micro had it’s first official release in April 2011 just in time for the Mix Open Source fest. At the festival, the framework had a great showing. I had tons of people...

If you have created any silverlight applications which need to communicate to a WCF Endpoint you know that you must communicate with WCF via Async actions. As you may know there are multiple ways to get your Silverlight application to communicate with a WCF service. One way is to simply create...

Today I was building a UI in Silverlight which needed a Data Grid and a Data Pager. When I setup my pager I had it bound to the various properties that I cared about (Source, PageIndex, PageSize, etc) via my ViewModel. However when I ran the page for the first time I received the error below...

The AutoCompleteTextBox is a great tool in Silverlight to allow you to provide relevant information to your users as they are typing as seen below: But there are a few issues with this control Pretty much every sample on the net uses the code behind to do the heavy lifting and not binding It will not...

Today after pulling latest from our TFS server, and doing a few auto merges (turns out that the AutoMerge is at fault here again)(some day I will learn NOT to trust TFS to do anything, but doubt it) I tried to fire up our Silverlight Browser app and I was presented with this lovely error. I was a bit...

Today I ran into a very odd issue when trying to reload the Silverlight Image Control with a new image which happened to have the EXACT same URL as the previously loaded image. See in our application we provide a way to upload an image and also allow the user to not simply create a new image but rather...

Ok, silverlight and unit testing just plan sucks, I firmly believe that the devs for silverlight did NOT care about testability, but that is off topic. When doing any type of unit testing (and not with the built in silverlight testing framework which actually runs the app, talking code level testing...

Ok, this is going to seem really stupid, cause it was, but I thought I would share my pain incase someone has the same issue. A while back I blogged about how to create a Convention Based View Model Location using Ninject in a MVVM/Silverlight Application in this post I talk about how to create a VMLocator...

As I am in the process of rebuilding my Dimecasts.net WP7 application from the ground up to work with WP7 Mango one of the things I wanted to do was fully use the Caliburn.Micro framework. Caliburn.Micro has its own built in IoC container called the PhoneContainer which provides basic Dependency Injection...

*** UPDATE: Turns out the is expected as Caliburn will create its own instance of the PhoneApplicationService for you. Also when using Caliburn.Micro make sure that your App.xaml.cs is empty as Caliburn.Micro has better facilities for handling all these actions. *** Today when I was kicking off...
