In this post we will see a simple code fragment that can be used to detect memory leaks (more specific objects that are not cleaned by the garbage collector) and we will do it in the context of an interesting memory leak that can be created when using event delegates. The memory leak with event delegates Suppose you have an application in WPF ...

In the context of ClipFlair development, I was recently adding independent scaling (zooming) functionality to its ZUI container’s floating windows (apart from the container zooming functionality) and came across some strange behavior, where the windows seemed to also move apart from getting scaled. After banging my head a bit I decided to take a ...

While refactoring ClipFlair code to use MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern, I came across the XAML error “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”, shown in Visual Studio when trying to bind to my ViewModel (accessed implicitly, being set as the DataContext of the XAML control) for a property named Source. I have settled [...]

Just came accross a runtime error message that troubled me a bit to resolve while adding Prezi-like content scaling functionality in ClipFlair‘s FloatingWindowHostZUI (ZUI = Zoomable User Interface) container. I had added the following: /// Identifies the <see cref="FloatingWindow.Scale" /> dependency property. /// ...

While adding some properties to the back panels of ClipFlair windows, I came upon the issue of how to space items in a StackPanel. A Padding property is missing from multiple item containers (only single content controls have such), but a nice solution is described at: ...

During the development of ClipFlair (currently at Alpha1-internal version), I’ve been doing lots of research, hunting for information (documentation, related discussion threads, useful download links) needed when writing and refactoring source code etc. I have tried to organize these links as (Windows) Internet shortcut files into folders. They do ...

At ClipFlair I’m using a modified version of FloatingWindow control, where I try to make the WPF and Silverlight flavours of the original control share as much code as possible (this is work in progress currently, hoping to eventually have the WPF and Silverlight projects both link to the same source files [this is currently [...]

Just came across http://wangmo.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/themesgenericxaml/ which gave me a hint on why a WPF control wasn’t getting instantiated correctly when loaded from an external assembly (dll): to load generic.xaml for WPF, at the start of Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs you need (note this isn’t used/needed in Silverlight): using System.Windows; ...

I’ve been looking into porting Kael Rowan’s ZoomableCanvas (related to ZUI code used in Code Canvas, Debugger Canvas etc. VisualStudio add-ons) from WPF to Silverlight. One of the issues I found was that Silverlight’s Rect class (I guess this is a case for .NET Compact Framework in general) doesn’t have a method to check if [...]
