I started working on the most complicated part of the UI: Sessions. There are a lot of different view models and views related to this part. Fortunately, by now, I think I have found most of the issues. But I’m still encountering a few new issues here on day six. Below is the customary screenshot...

Well, I’m pleased to say that on Wednesday I only encountered one new* issue during the port. ListBox does not support grouping. One neat thing in WPF is that all the items controls supported grouping. One of the reports we had was a set of master/details grids where the master was a grouped ListBox...

On Tuesday I spent a decent amount of time fleshing out the last remaining features under the Options menu. I then did some general reorganization to the project structure. Along with the port to Silverlight, I’ve been upgrading the application to use Caliburn 2.0 which is working out exceedingly...

On Monday I spent a good four hours working on the port. I decided to flesh out the functionality of the Main Menu. As I mentioned before , none of the menu controls available support commanding. Fortunately, Caliburn has its own mechanism which is much richer than what you get out of the box anyways...

Friday I only had a few hours to work on the port. I thought I might look into what it would take to add the main menu. It’s an important part of the shell that I completely skipped in my first pass. Unfortunately, there aren’t really any free or open source menu controls that I could find...

This is a true story. It’s a story about porting a non-trivial WPF application, NHProf , to Silverlight 4. The story begins today with my first actual work on the porting process. Microsoft has been preaching how easy it is to move between these platforms. Are they telling the truth? I’ll...

Yesterday I delivered my talk, “Build Your Own MVVM Framework,” at Mix. Thanks to all who came out to listen and allow me a short time to share some of my ideas. I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity. Thanks also to all who voted for the talk. If you were not able to make it...

I’ve heard some developers asking about UI testing lately. Specifically, there have been some questions about what we did with NHProf. So, I thought I would write a little bit about that here. There are a variety of different types of tests you can do. In my experience some have a better ROI than...
Hooray!!! I finally released Caliburn v1 to RTW and got the official site launched ! This has been a long time coming and I could not have done it without the generous help and support of the .NET community, family and friends. Many individuals contributed by finding bugs, submitting patches, recommending...
