How to invert a bit without using conditional logic

My latest challenge is to learn everything there is about Sitefinity. When I first came to Falafel, one of my first assignments was to update some of Falafel's DNN modules, one of which was QuoteMax. This was a simple module that would manage a list of quotes and would pick one for display upon each page load. Of course, you might have a hard time saying any DNN module development was simple. In any case, this simple control would be my first try at custom Sitefinity development.

I am very proud to announce that our CTO, John Waters was nominated for the Kerzner International Project Manager of the year Award.

Last week I went to PAX for the second time and here is what I have to say about it.

In a recent post, I explained how to use WPF validation rules and error templates to validate user input and provide meaningful feedback for invalid input in the form of tooltips. But what if you need to have a non-error tooltip as well?

I just learned some very interesting things about WPF, Splash screens and Visual Studio 2008 SP1...

See some business rules can be enforced using only declarative referential integrity.

With Expression Blend it's quite easy to style your own custom ScrollBar to get the look you want.

Steve was in Cambridge 2 weeks ago teaching a TestComplete class and while he was sightseeing with the rest of the class attendees, they insisted to take his picture with this sign :)

 

Good job Steve!
