There are some powerful data editing controls in Silverlight such as the DataForm which let you define templates for ReadOnly and Edit modes, but sometimes you just need a simple way to view and update text.  I came across a scenario in a custom application that required a simple way to view and edit text.  The solution I came up with was a "Click to Edit" TextBlock.  In the default state, the text is displayed as a read-only TextBlock, but you can simply click on the TextBlock for it to become an editable TextBox.

Here is a working example (Silverlight ...

While working with all the content modules in Sitefinity, we have got several templates to choose from to display list items on our pages. When we have a long list to expose, the pager control that is shipped with Sitefinity allows us to specify how many items to display per page, which is great. However, we have all experienced the beauty and flexibility of the RadDataPager control and to this day I am still wondering why the Sitefinity team did not use this control instead of the custom pager that they built specifically for Sitefinity. 

After I stumbled upon this post ...

After using the first iteration of my utility procedure drop_if_exists for a while, I noticed a few idiosyncrasies that I didn’t like about it, so I came up with a new version. This version removes the requirement of specifying the object’s type code, instead looking it up by the object’s 3-part identifier. It adds support for dropping objects in other databases than the current one as well. If no object is found, an informative message is output; if multiple objects are found, an error is output, requesting a more specific identifier. As stated in the first iteration, the purpose of ...

With Christmas coming up soon, what better blog can a nerdy geek come up with than to explain how to draw a Santa hat on the WP7 using the XNA Graphics Framework.

I’ve been working with computer graphics on and off for most of my 20+ year career. For me, it all started with OpenGL in the early 90’s. Since then I’ve worked with DirectX and now XNA. It’s amazing how little things have changed over that time. All those frameworks are based on triangles and arrays of vertices and normals. When you learn one of those frameworks, you ...
