Josh Reuben and I will be giving a lecture in the upcoming Sela Developer Practice about .NET Numerical Computing and Scaling Up (DSE502). It is intended to be a swift yet exhaustive review of what’s available out there for .NET developers. We will cover topics such as Cloud Computing, Infer.NET, GPGPU, Axum and [...]
If you’re writing a custom control in WPF, you may have encountered a very annoying bug: if you set the value of a DependencyProperty in your implementation code, the local value will trump any changes that you may try to apply to this property using bindings, styles, etc. You can read more about this in [...]
One of the most referenced posts in this blog is the one dealing with the ClearType issues. Those of you who shared my pain will be glad to hear that Microsoft has delivered on its promise: WPF is getting a new text rendering stack in v4, which has the ability to render ClearType (and [...]
I always prefer simpler solutions. The solution I proposed on my previous post was not that simple, and was not complete. It may still be useful for other stuff, but for the purpose of preserving ClearType while using DWM, I just have to admit it has too many issues.

WPF has ClearType issues. Hopefully some of them will be solved in the upcoming .NET 4.0. Meanwhile, however, I have concocted a nifty solution to one of the scenarios – placing stuff on the Aero Glass DWM frame.
When you extend the DWM frame in a WPF application you must set the HwndTarget.BackgroundColor property [...]
The past 24 hours have been a blogger’s nightmare for me. I wanted to upgrade my GoDaddy’s hosting account to IIS 7.

What this means, [...]
One of the most popular posts in this blog is the one explaining how to override the system theme and get the Vista look on non-Vista systems. This is possible because WPF ships with the theme files for all operation systems (well, all Microsoft OSs that WPF works on, i.e. XP, XP Media Center [...]
I've released a new version of WPF Contrib (October 2008, although it's released in November. I changed the release name a few times, so I decided to leave it like that. I'm only late by a few days.
It contains quite a few fixes and new features. Read about it in the project [...]
First of all, you didn’t miss part one. Just thought it was a funny reference.
I’m currently working on a new release of WPF Contrib. In my TaskDialog class, I used a few classes I derived from ItemsControl (which I’m considering deleting in this version, but that’s another debate). The reason I created [...]
I've added a license page to my blog.
