I decided I should start titling my posts with XAML instead of WPF as they are applicable regardless of whether you are developing in Windows 7 with WPF or Windows 8. I’m going to take the BreadCrumb design pattern sample and extend it to include the Live Filter design pattern. The premise behind the Live […]

I’ve been getting quite a few hits lately on my post, Binding a Dependency Property of a View to its ViewModel. After reviewing it I realized that, while the post isn’t too bad, it doesn’t read as smooth as I would like (though it does have some pretty pictures with arrows and boxes and stuff, […]

This continues my series on ways you’ve probably used design patterns in real-life and may not have even known it. I’m going to go even further outside of the standard software design patterns into UI design patterns. Specifically, I wanted to address the bread crumb, a UI design pattern that concerns navigation. In web development […]

I found a lot of different tutorials on binding a ComboBox to an enum but none of them worked. In every case the ComboBox would not stay selected to the value I chose, instead always reverting back to the previous selected value.

The original book on software design patterns, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software discussed three types of design patterns, creational, structural and behavioral. As time […]

Update 2024-02-18: Unlike the rest of the articles I reloaded from the archive, I didn’t check the links in this one. There is quite a bit here that is dated (like it’s super easy to set up CI with Azure nowadays, instead of what was mentioned) but the core premise of the post still stands. […]

This continues my series on ways you’ve probably used design patterns in real-life and may not have even known it. The previous post was on the Adapter Design Pattern.This is a kind of “catch-all” post where I want to talk not only about the Iterator Design Pattern but also custom enumerators for Parallel.ForEach and ensuring […]

I think the simplest design pattern we’ve all used without really calling it a pattern, other than observer, is the adapter design pattern. The adapter design pattern is known more colloquially as a wrapper where you wrap a bunch of functionality from one or more classes into a single class because of incompatibilities between the […]
