One of the improvements in VS2010 (CTP available for download here ) is drag and drop data binding for WPF. Drag-drop data binding has been available for WinForms since Visual Studio 2005. So those of you that are familiar with that will find the WPF experience quite similar and readily usable. In VS2010 we've brought that to WPF. VS2008 SP1 brought the ability to add an Entity Data Model (EDM) to your projects. In VS2010 we've added support for EDM in the data sources window. Thus ... [ read more ]

Software remodeling is maintaining, refactoring, or adding features to an already constructed software application or system. (For brevity I will refer to a sofware application or system as jus ...

And, yes, it supports a few languages. And line numbers. And highlighting. Public Class ThisRocks Public Function URL ... [ read more ]
I had a case today where I needed -- well, wanted -- to implement a generic class that was a little... unusual. Essentially, I'm working on a queuing mechanism based on Joe Duffy's BlockingBoundedQueue(Of T). Mind you, unlike Joe's sample, mine is written in VB.NET. ;) Taking it a bit further, I created a wrapper that specifies the number of producers and consumers of queued objects, as well as the queue capacity. Since I'm going to be turning this over to a bunch of developers to play w ... [ read more ]
