Expression Blend for WinForms? We are almost there!
As Q1 2010 is approaching we thought it would be a good idea to tell you where we are currently with our new Visual Style Builder (VSB) for Windows Forms. After several months of hard work we are almost done with an application, which may be easily described as Expression Blend, but for Windows Forms. The most important aspect of the new VSB is that it will decrease the amount of time needed to create or tweak themes from days to hours, and even minutes! We have considerably simplified the work flow to allow you to focus on more important things,... -

How To: Print your DataGrid (or any UIElement) on multiple pages with Silverlight 4
In Silverlight 4 you can use PrintDocument to print easily any UIElement: … var doc = new PrintDocument(); doc.DocumentName = YourDocumentName; doc.PrintPage += (s, e) => { e.PageVisual = YouUIElement; }; doc.Print(); … and I’ve made an extension method that can be used to print any UIElement on multiple pages: public static void Print(this UIElement source, string documentName) { ... -

If you try to add service reference in your Silverlight application and you simply cannot discover any services in the solution using the Add Service Reference tool here is the way how to solve it. Note that the issue occurs both in Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3 Beta. 1. Uninstall your Silverlight tools for Visual Studio 2.

Visual Studio: “Error Creating Control”
I’ve run into this error before and last night it reared its ugly head again. You’ll find it from time to time when switching to Design View in Visual Studio to work with custom server controls. The bug is in Service Pack 1 of VS and can be quite annoying. It has been submitted to Microsoft and they claim to be working on a solution which will “fix it in subsequent releases” of Visual Studio. Unfortunately, developers (like me) don’t want their productivity to suffer while we all wait for a fix from Microsoft. So here are a couple of steps...May 27, 2021 1 min read
