One of the first things that I wanted to customize with the DataGridView is to make it support hierarchical data If you read my first blog post you'll find out that I'm not a developer (anymore). Even though I'm not a developer I still like to take...

Some people reported problems actually running the TreeGridView sample, so I've recompiled it on an RTM build machine (previously I was using the latest internal VS build). You can get the new version (that also includes release & debug binaries prebuilt...

As part of my work I use an IBM Thinkpad laptop a lot (T40 model) and one thing that has bugged me a lot is that the mouse wheel button on the laptop keyboard (center button) doesn't work with the DataGridView. Below is the story of my investigation and...

The DataGridView developer has recently completed and posted two new whitepapers that implement a custom RadioButton cell/column and a numeric up/down cell/column. Check them out and post comments here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730882...

Sorry I haven't posted any new. Since March I've moved to a different group here at Microsoft and on the home front I've become a father to a baby girl! Hopefully in the next few months I'll post more about what I'm doing here at Microsoft. thanks...

Below is the link to the slide deck(s) for the two TechEd 2008 sessions. I'll be posting the projects once Silverlight 2 Beta 2 ships this week (since they require Beta2) http://cid-3a5ca8204ec61147.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/TechEd%20Slides...

Ok – so my TechEd presentation came and went and all I can say is that "I was pwnd by the demo gods!" Yup if something could go wrong it did. Does anyone else need a café express tee shirt "I was pwnd by the demo gods!"? I think I will wear one around...

Well, this is my first blog post. I really don't know what to say or what to write about, so first I'll give a little background about myself and work. I first was introduced to Microsoft in 1995 where I worked in an IT group developing client-server...

As you can see I concluded my "short story" blog post (previous post) saying that I'm at TechEd – and that is correct. I'll be at TechEd 2008 all this (June 2 nd through June 6 th ) week. I'll be presenting on Tuesday about Silverlight 2 so please come...

One request that I've seen a few times is to have a column in the DataGridView display a rating like stars similar to what you would find in Media Player. I've posted this over at the MSDN forums, but I thought having it in the blog would also be good...

As a follow up to my post on getting the DataGridView and UltraNav/IBM scroll button to work, I've created a simple component that makes adding UltraNav support throughout your app easy. The code is contained in a class called UltraNavScrollHelper . ...

Finally I'm positing the Silverlight 2 Beta 2 project for my TechEd "Building Rich Internet Applications in Silverlight" talk. Sorry for the week delay I took off after TechEd for my daughter's 2 nd birthday party (remember I said that I'm a proud dad...

Andrew Tokeley has a great post about work he’s been involved in called ButtercupReader - it's a showcase of how Silverlight 2.0 can be used to build an application that blind and partially sighted folks can use to read digital books. Check it out...

Yup I've not updated my blog for almost 2 years. The shortest story for the past two years is that: We started a family (see previous post) I changed jobs – I've been a PM on Silverlight since 2006 Shipped Silverlight 1.0 Working on Silverlight...
