Generating WPF with T4 Templates for Localization

Recently I had the opportunity to explore setting up a small WPF application for globalization/localization. I had no previous experience with this process, so I started by doing some searching and reading. I thought the links below were particularly interesting: WPF Localization Guidance – Included in this project is The WPF Localization Guidance PDF by [...]

Mercurial and White Presentations

I recently had the opportunity to do two presentations at a Tucson .NET User Group meeting – Aaron Wagner and I gave a ~40 minute presentation on Mercurial and I did a short presentation on White!

Some Experiences in the Display of Mathematical Equations in WPF

I recently needed to display ‘notes’ in a WPF application – the interesting detail was that the notes contained both text and mathematical equations. I did not find a tremendous amount of information about presenting mathematical equations in WPF – so I thought I would share my experiences. The notes for the application were delivered [...]

A beginner’s view – Textual DSL with OSLO

Hibernate – Standby: Timed LockWorkStation

There is an option for Windows to prompt for a password when the computer resumes from Standby or Hibernatation – for me this option is usually not convenient for tablet/laptop use. Do you really care that the system suspended (after a few minutes on a ‘long-life’ power setting…)? – or do you care how long [...]
