- SynchronizationContext assists layering
My WPF skills aren’t there yet that I could confidently build the UI that quick, but in a few weeks I do want to add a WPF gui. So this created two options implement a timer in the UI layer or in the model…For me I obviously wanted to place it into the model since that piece of code would be reused when I implement the WPF UI. In fact WPF does have support for this so cool…the model can be written to deliver PropertyChanged events on the correct thread. This seemed like a good exercise where I could put both these skills to good use.
.NET Mutterings - Saturday, October 21, 2006 - Christmas comes early: Microsoft releases Visual Studio.NET 2008
There’s a ton of new features and enhancements in this release that makes it almost a no-brainer to upgrade - I thought I’d take a moment and list my top ten favorites in no particular order: #10: WPF designer (“Cider”). spend a lot of time on rich-client island and compared to the embarrassing support for WPF provided for VS2005 (through an add-on) VS2008 just plain rocks. 9: WPF and Windows Forms integration (“Crossbow”). Hand in hand with the designer view, VS2008 improves the designer experience for Windows Forms to WPF integration. 7: Multi-framework targeting.

The Problem Solver - Monday, October 19, 2009 - WPF Pong
This got me thinking about writing a classic game using WPF, not being much of a games writer I kept things simple and decided to implement the classic game Pong.My main aim is to continue to ramp up on WPF, one area I wanted to explore further was the use of Content Templates and styles, what I wanted to be able to do was not only clearly separate UI layout from UI behaviour but also allow different Skins to be applied to the game one being the classic black and white look another being a more 21 st Centaury look and feel. First to 9 wins.

Mark's Blog of Random Thoughts - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 - Recommended reading for C# starters
Smart Client Deployment with ClickOnce by Brian Noyes. Programming WPF by Chris Sells and Ian Griffiths. I regularly get asked for references on which books are interesting for people starting with C# and.NET. I'm not good at remembering books, but usually squeeze out a reference. Today I ran across a good list of Essential Reading compiled by my DevelopMentor colleague Tony Sneed. I'm shamelessly copying it here since I concur with his list. Essential.Net 2.0 Reading. The C# Language. Essential C# 2.0 by Mark Michaelis.Net in General. Windows Forms. Windows Forms 2.0 Web Apps.
