The dependency property system is a pretty nice concept. Receiving notifications for dependency property changes on an existing object is a very common scenario in order to update my view model or the UI. This is quite easy in WPF:

Localization using a MarkupExtension
The Idea A simple and effective way to localize application resources is to write a custom MarkupExtension that provides a localized value. The extension takes a parameter in the constructor that is the unique resource key. When the DepdendencyProperty asks for the value, the markup extension looks up the value from a generic resource provider.

Dispose of a WPF UserControl (ish)
Dispose of a WPF UserControl (ish) I've been playing with WPF a little bit, and quite frankly got a bit stuck, (Meh! Who'd have thought). The problem is as follows: I create a UserControl - we'll call it 'MyUserControl' (wouldn't want to break traditions now would we).
Home » Programming Today I read a blog on http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/12/10/resizing-images-from-the-server-using-wpf-wic-instead-of-gdi.aspx which introduces a new way to resize image with WPF. This new method does not use GDI+ ( Microsoft Windows GDI+ is the portion of the Windows XP operating system or Windows Server 2003 operating system that provides two-dimensional vector graphics, imaging, and typography. ) but it uses WPF library for resizing images very fast. You can read more details about this method in that blog.
s blog » C#, WPF – Fast image resize
I and many others have written about resizing images using GDI+ , or rather its .NET façade, System.Drawing . It works. But there is just this one sentence at the bottom of the documentation : Caution: Classes within the System.Drawing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service.

Downloads: Highlight Searched Text in WPF ListView
Introduction I wrote this as an inspiration for how to search in Microsoft Outlook. Imagine that you have a ListView in a WPF application and you are looking for a text in the individual items. It would be useful to highlight the text. The code used in this demo can be adjusted wherever it's appropriate and the highlighted text is displayed by using the TextBox control.Monday, May 12, 2008 8:12 PM Tamir Khason Today we’ll speak about how to search and select text on WPF page. This is not about how to search data sources, or how to search for data. This is visual search. Like this one Let’s see how XAML looks like
Search and highlight any text on WPF rendered page - Just code - Tamir Khason
I have posted a couple of times on creating a Piano Roll control in WPF. ( Part 1 and Part 2 ). Today I want to take a slight digression and ask whether this could be accomplished more elegantly using a data binding approach. I went to an excellent presentation by Josh Twist on WPF and data binding yesterday in which he claimed that if you are not using data binding in WPF, you a probably missing something. So I decided to experiment.

In the category of the pot talking to the pan, I present you ScrollViewer . It's the main control to implement scrolling in your templates, but it's also the one not respecting a very fundamental rule of scrolling: if you're done scrolling, let your parent scroll! Not only does ScrollViewer handles the mouse scrolling even when no more scrolling is needed, but it also does so when there's nothing to scroll, or worse when it is told not to scroll! Let's take an example XAML file. < Window x : Class ="CaffeineIT.Blog.ScrollViewerExample.Window1" xmlns ="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Routed Event Viewer « Karl On WPF – .Net
Understanding the order in which routed event handlers are invoked is an important WPF programming concept. I wrote the below demonstration program as a visual aid for my WPF presentations and wanted to share it. It allows the user to select which routed event handlers to handle, which event handler will mark the routed event as handled and simulates code running in the handler.One of the primary tenets of Halfwit is that it should be completely drivable from the keyboard. That means that while I code it I have to pay very close attention to where the keyboard focus is, and what's currently "selected". To that end, it's important that when you switch away from a timeline and then switch back, the same tweet that you previously had selected is still selected, and it still has keyboard focus so you can navigate around it with the up and down arrow keys.
