Silverlight Binary Serialization and Compression with WCF Services
Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:00:39 GMT

WCF is a great tool, and because of the streamlined nature of Silverlight, it is virtually essential for various types of data access. However, the default behavior of WCF is to serialize your types via the DataContractSerializer.

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:46:08 GMT

In WPF Toolkit charts, when points are plotted on the chart’s plot area, they take up all the available space. However, when points get too many, the plot area becomes congested and labels overlap. A workaround is to have a scrollable axis and plot only the points with visible coordinates.  read more

Enterprise Settings In Composite Pattern
Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:34:44 GMT

The Composite UI pattern enables us to divide the user interface to separate, loosely coupled modules. It has many features and a lot of smaller patterns, but it lacks an enterprise solution to target the settings management in an enterprise application.  In this paper, I proposed a framework that allows the modules to have their own virtual settings and configuration in such a way that the real settings data have been saved in the main settings in the shell.  read more
