WPF/Xaml Web News – 2007-09-11
- Pavan Podila – TransitionContainer: Easy transitions between views – This is similar to some DHTML APIs (Play/Apply)…but it has been so long since I’ve done heavy dhtml that I can’t tell you which ones anymore. (used to be IE PM for object model of DHTML)
- Beatriz Costa – "Are there any tricks that will help me improve TreeView’s performance?" – Part I & Part II
- Commonality – VS2008 and VSSettings files – disappointed that the new Xaml editor doesn’t share enough settings with the Xml Editor. I’ll make sure the team sees this post.
- VectorEye – convert .bmp (etc.) files into vector formats (including Xaml for 2d). Haven’t tried this out…would love to hear if people find this useful (or not).
- Wpf-Tutorials.livejournal.com – DataTemplate, value converter and ObservableCollection – provides source code a step by step in PDF.

The WPF tutorials link from livejournal is missing an \’r\’ in \’journal\’. Great blog by the way, been following for sometime now.

Speaking of WPF news, Windows Marketplace doesn\’t support .application type installations. Perhaps someone on the .NET team should talk to them about it as it limits marketing of .application and also .xbap.
Here is what their support person said:
"In response to this, please be informed that Digital locker accept only files containing ".exe" extension for downloads. And I am sorry but the URL you have provided cannot be processed by Digital Locker and suggest, to try contacting any of our seller if it is possible for them to post your product over Windows Marketplace as we are not the one who accepts product postings.
To know more about our partner, kindly visit: http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/showcase.aspx?ctId=17"
I\’m waiting to hear from CNet, and I have not contact the other "sellers" yet. I think there needs to be some evangalizing to get .application and .xbap brought into the same fold as .exe.

Thanks Robert. We\’re engaging in email with the Windows Marketplace team… We plan a call to discuss soon.
Not everybody in the industry knows about ClickOnce yet, and that includes within Microsoft.
Thanks, Rob
