An update to the WinFX Bag-O-Tricks for the January CTP

As you may already know, there aren't really any changes to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) in the January CTP . I have noticed some updates to the VS extensions for Visual Studio , so you may want to update your bits anyway. I received a bunch

Windows Live Messenger Beta Invite for WPF Sample Suggestion: wanna trade?

I have one Messenger Beta invite to give out and I'm always looking for WPF sample suggestions. So... I have no strict criteria. The first suggestion that makes me think "hmm, that looks interesting" wins. Tips: if it's trivially simple or insanely complicated,

A WinFX Bag-O-Tricks

It's been pretty quiet around the office this week. I've had a chance to do some updating and clean-up on a bunch of samples that I've created over the last several months. I've decided to roll up all of my samples into one application. This will make

WinFX Hex

I discovered the game Hex when I spent a semester in Australia my senior year of college. Taking the things I learned building Minesweeper , I thought I'd see how far I could get with Hex. I'm pretty happy with the results. (As with my first post of Minesweeper,

WPF Minesweeper (updated)

I've updated Minesweeper (see my last post ). We have a timer, a "new game button" and cool graphics when you win/lose. (Alright, I just change the background brush, but it looks cool.) I still need to add options to change the size and number of mines.

Mine Sweeper in WPF (Avalon)

Every once in a while someone asks if they could build the next Quake in WPF. While WPF has some pretty cool 3D and animation support, it wasn’t designed for twitch games. DirectX is still your best bet there. There are classes of games that are pretty

Custom Panel: TreeMapPanel

TreeMaps have been all the rage. I figured it would be cool to see how easy it would be to build such a thing in WPF. It turns out that getting started in pretty easy. There are a number of implementations of TreeMaps around. I found a Java one that looked
