Speaking at Project Management Day in Romania
I’ll be doing my (in)famous Scrum seminar in Bucharest, Romania on May 26th at Project Management Day, hosted by PMI and Microsoft. My talk is titled “To Scrum or not to Scrum.” Agile project management and development methods are being adopted at many development shops. After an introduction to the basics of Agile and Scrum like: project planning and estimation, the Scrum Master, team, product owner and burn down, and of course the daily Scrum, Stephen, a certified scrum master, will show many real world applications of the methodology drawn from his own experience. Negotiating with the business, estimation and team dynamics are all discussed as well as...May 05, 2010

Dynamically Loading Telerik Reports with MEF
So I've been spending some time lately learning to use one of the powerful new features of .NET 4.0, the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). Using MEF, I thought it would be neat to create an application that allows you to dynamically load Telerik Reports from an assembly without having to recompile your application. Here is how I set it up. Contracts When setting this application up, I wanted to be able to define contracts on my reports so that I could import them into a ReportManager class when the application starts up. However, I didn't want my report objects to be ...May 05, 2010 -

Telerik’s new LINQ implementation and MySQL Part II: OData Service and Silverlight App in 30 seconds
About a month or so ago I showed on this blog how to connect to MySQL using Telerik's new LINQ implementation. Today I will show you how to take it one step further and build an OData service automatically using the Telerik Data Services Wizard. Just for fun, we will also automatically add a full CRUD Silverlight application that consumes the OData service. We’ll do this all in 30 seconds! To get started, you have to download MySQL 5.x and the MySQL Workbench and also, as my colleague Alexander Filipov at Telerik reminded me, make sure you install the MySQL .NET Connector, which is available here. I like to use...May 04, 2010

ALT.NET Houston Open Spaces 2010
So, over the weekend I attended ALT.NET Houston Open Spaces 2010. I wasn't too sure what to expect since I had never been to this type of event before, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Starting on Friday, I attended a free half-day workshop about "Advanced WPF" hosted by Jonathan Birkholz. This five hour workshop went over everything from the basics of WPF, to dependency properties, to making "designable" applications. This workshop successfully cleared up many questions I had about building WPF applications. After the workshop, I unfortunately had to leave a little bit early, but ...May 04, 2010 -

Internet Explorer CSS limits
We all know that Internet Explorer has some bugs. Some of them can even bring down the entire rendering of your page. Like for instance the forced Standards mode crash bug in IE8, which can make your page to disappear completely if you have a floated container with max-height and overflow: scroll. Two such bizarre bugs are these less known limitations in Internet Explorer - the 31 stylesheets per file and the 4095 selectors in a file. Let’s first discuss the more widely known of the two - 31 stylesheets per file If you are an ASP.NET developer and you develop...May 03, 2010
