One of the first applications I did with Windows Phone 7, utilized the pivot control. I imagine that type of control to be very popular in future development as it works perfectly with a lot of different application themes. While I won't get into any misgivings or opinions on the use of the control, I will say that I wanted to provide a better experience for my application and wanted to provide the user with some sense of how many pages were in the particular series of "pivots" and exa ...

Step 3In the filter field, type "dom.ipc.plugins.e ...

So I typically do not blog much about WPF but recently I have been doing so much work in WPF I only thought it fair to share my experiences with it. Today I found out a little problem when I noticed that my Cursors defined in XAML was not working. In my little test application it was working fine, but when I applied the code to my solution they weren't working. After some research eventually I had an "AH HA!" moment. In code, a typical windows developer likes to add "Cursors.Wait" when doing cal ...

While this is not the best way to do image calculations in the code behind in terms of imaging with Silverlight and WPF I was perplexed with the problem of having a great pixel shader that I could apply in the xaml using Bitmap Effects but unclear as the best way to translate that to an actual Bitmap Image. If you are looking for a quick fix solution I wanted to share a little gold nugget in how to actually do this that I found. Just to explain a bit more this assumes you already know how to use ...
