Many times I try to take as much of the presentation logic out of the viewmodel as possible. While using a MVVM pattern, sometimes it’s easy to be lazy and create boolean or visibility properties to handle logic on the front-end. This week I’m showing a quick way to abstract that logic to the view only and not have to worry about cluttering your viewmodel.

Using Dynamic SLA Documents in Web Service Testing
As part of my Computer Science M.S. degree, I tend to write pitiful papers from time to time. I’m posting this paper online because I want fair and honest critique. I’m not a strong writer but I believe my ideas may be of some use. This paper details using dynamically-generated SLA documents to create an expansive test suite over a web service above and beyond what unit-test generation from WSDLs can do.

My Quest for a Codeless User Interface
There is not doubt about it. I love XAML! Coming from someone with a web application background, I understand the importance of using markup to define visual traits of an application. I also understand that the transition from HTML to XAML is very smooth and will lead to a new generation of .NET developers who design user experiences for both the desktop and web. What I have yet to see, is a complex User Interface written without a lot of unnecessary code-behind. XAML was designed so that you keep all of your user-interface logic in the markup and your business logic will dominate your code behind and libraries. Unfortunately, I have yet to see this pattern manifest.

WPF AutoCompleteBox
Thanks Microsoft… for two things
1. Making a new AutoCompleteBox for WPF included in the February 2010 relase of WPF Toolkit: http://www.codeplex.com/wpf
2. Not letting any devs know that this was in the pipeline, since half of the internet’s WPF developers went on ahead and recreated their own imperfect (read: basterdized) versions of the AutoComplete Control
All joking aside. This is exciting and i’m very happy!
