During my Software Craftsmanship Precompiler session, I heard one of the students say, “all you need is an IEnumerable to use a foreach loop”. This sparked a bit of fun when I asked Steve Smith, my co-presenter, if that was correct. He confirmed that it was, and I disagreed. Being the scientists that we are, we decided to try it and see what happened.

I’ve been doing a lot of Windows Phone 7 Development, which means that I have also been doing a lot of Silveright development, so here is a tip for accessing your ViewModel when you’re in a DataTemplate. In Silveright, DataTemplates are used when binding data to a control. For example if I want to list users I will define the DataTemplate, which will define the XAML that will be bound to for each of the users in the list. When I do this, the data context for the DataTemplate is my user and no l ...
