RadControls for Metro (XAML)–Date and Time Pickers
Surprisingly, Visual Studio for Windows 8 XAML does not come with either a date or a time picker. Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. The RadControls For Metro suite of controls includes a very flexible DatePicker and TimePicker control that I’ll illustrate in this posting. To get started, be sure to add a reference to the RadControls for Metro to your application. As usual, we’ll begin with the data. This time the data is very simple.

Why Is Your Web Page Not Behaving as Expected – Troubleshooting Web Page Scripts
In my last blog post of this series I covered the element inspector and network resources tab of modern day web browsers’ developer tools. Although there is a large set of what I like to call “modern” web browsers out there I decided to only take a look at three of them; Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9. Today I want to continue this series and cover another useful aspect of web development tools – the Scripts tab. This tab not only allows you to inspect all of the JavaScript that has been downloaded to the client, it also allows you to...August 22, 2012 -

Windows 8 RTM. Who Cares.
If you missed all the excitement on the interwebs yesterday, you should know that Windows 8 officially went RTM. My good friend and prolific animated GIF pundit John Bristowe posted this apt metaphor of the frenzy over at MSDN. You can count me in the pile of chaos...August 17, 2012
