    [Link] MVC vs MVP

    by Florian Krüsch, November 2, 2007

    Jeremy Miller erklärt in seinem Blog klar und knapp die Unterschiede zwischen Model-View-Controller und Model-View-Presenter im Zusammenhang mit verschiedenen .NET UI Technologien (WebForms, WinForms und Acropolis/WPF).

    Robby Ingebretsen über Blend und WPF

    by Florian Krüsch, November 5, 2007

    Robert Ingebretsen kennt sich mit WPF aus, wie kein zweiter.
    Er war Developer Evangelist für WPF bei Microsoft und ist nun einer der Masterminds bei Identity Mine, der wahrscheinlich besten WPF Schmiede überhaupt.

    Auf Channel 9 erläutert er seine Perspektive zu WPF als Plattform und zum Thema Designer/Developer Workflow: Robby Ingebretsen : Designers, Developers and Integrators

    Mit den wesentlichen Punkten trifft er genau ins Schwarze:

    • Designer leben in Photoshop, Developer in Visualstudio
      Blend ist ein Spezial-Tool für Integrators, also Interactive Design Spezialisten, die in beiden Welten zuhause sind. Wer einmal gesehen hat, wie reine Designer in Blend Panels zusammenwürfeln, weiss was er meint.
    • Es ist sinnvoll, Funktionalität in spezialisierte Custom Controls auszulagern. Diese sollten "Blendable" sein und sich z.B. nach aussen über sinnvolle Dependency Properties "customizen" lassen. Man sollte aber vorher prüfen, ob man die selbe Funktionalität nicht über Styles und Templates abbilden kann.
    • Man braucht ein starkes Konzept, um eine starke WPF Anwendung von vorne bis hinten durchzuziehen.
      Das ist sicher einer der Gründe, warum der OTTO Store so toll geworden ist.

    Wer jetzt seine WPF Skills aufbessern will, dem möchte ich noch das WPF Bootcamp ans Herz legen.

    Happy integrating,
    Florian

    Woodstock and Glimps

    by Florian Krüsch, November 15, 2007

    Josh Smith has written an excellent debugger visualizer that allows you to inspect the visual tree and element properties within the Visual Studio debugger:

    WoodstockForWPF

    I've been experimenting with a debugger visualizer for WPF a while ago, as well, but I gave up because I thought it didn't work.

    My visualizer renders a preview image of a WPF Visual (UIElement, FrameworkElement, Control etc.) in the debugger when you hover over a variable. However, I never got this working I thought, the images were always blank.

    I pretty much forgot I had written and installed this, when I hovered over a visual accidently today and surprisingly found it working!

    What was going on? I was setting a breakpoint in the constructor of a Window or control to try out if it works. The constructor is a pretty bad place however, since controls are neither initialized nor loaded as this time.

    When you set a breakpoint in the loaded-handler of an element or in a mouse handler, it actually does work :)

    Woodstock + Glimps

    by Florian Krüsch, November 16, 2007

    Josh Smith and I decided to incorporate Glimps into Woodstock. It's a perfect fit! Josh also made some improvements on the layout stuff - I fired a layout pass on the element under inspection, which might have some sighteffects... you don't want the debugger to change the state of your app, do you? :) Awesome!

    At the same time, Rama Krishna Vavilala created yet another debugger visualizer for WPF and put it up on CodeProject:
    XAML Debugger Visualizer for WPF.
    What it does, is allow you to inspect the XAML for a given element in the debugger.

    WPF debugger visualizer anyone? :)

    cheers,
    Florian
