Ok so i had trouble even expressing what I needed so i had to build it myself. So what is it? Well, it's basically a hashed queue where when you enqueue again an already queued item, you basically put it in the first spot. It's made as a collection but it still acts as a queue. I needed it for my taskbar which automatically closes the least active item, or the one least used. so here you go: 1...

Note to self: ParseQueryString Source
Every now and then, you need something really simple and you just can't find it. Well i spent some time looking for this so that i wouldn't have to write it myself (it's not available in Silverlight assembly). I couldn't even disassemble it for some reason. So here it goes: 1...
Read MoreDomainCollectionView for the lazy asses pt. 1
Ok, it's been a while since the DomainCollectionView came out (as luck would have it, it came out just as i finished my own implementation of the same thing). Since then, i switched from my custom implementation to DomainCollectionView (in the following text i'll just call it DCV) and found some stuff which didn't quite agree with me so i decided to wrap it.

One of the biggest issues i had with it was the following: - If I would add a new item to the collection from code, the dataform would try to commit it immediately. Which basically means that the "Cancel" button wouldn't do anything,...
Read MoreHello internet!
And it was about time! I was pondering and planning this for ages, and i finally came through with setting up this blog, which i hope will eventually hold a few gems useful for some people. I'm an avid follower of a few blogs (i'll be recommending some later on) and after a while i started feeling like i was taking away from the community more than it was decent without giving anything back. I'm a professional developer with a particular interest in using Silverlight in LOB application, design patterns, software architecture, code generation and a lot of stuff in-between (as the subtitle...
