I just published my version of .NET bindings for OpenCL over on Codeplex last night. Why another, you ask? There’s already so many out there … Cloo, OpenCL.NET from hoopoe and another OpenCL.Net over at Sourceforge (and more?). Well, … Every API out there has an object-oriented version of the API that’s easily usable from .NET. Sure, . . . → Read More: OpenCL.Net published! Whenever I sit down to write an application (mostly a console application), I find myself wishing I had some code I could just drop in to parse command line arguments with. A friend of mine has authored the excellent ConsoleFX library, and it’s really good if you want to do heavy processing, validations and complex command . . . → Read More: Parsing command line arguments with C# & LINQ My interview about Brahma is up on DotNetRocks, you can find it here. I hope this helps Brahma’s popularity and remember, contributions are most welcome (samples, help getting Brahma to run on Mono on Linux)! I’ve recently had a new idea, the concept of using user-defined types with Brahma. This should (hopefully) be out soon! . . . → Read More: Interview up on DotNetRocks! One of the things I wanted to do with Lyre (my Windows 7 taskbar-based MP3 player), was to Figure out if a given executable is pinned to the taskbar During my searches, I found this blog post that says programmatic access to pinning and un-pinning has been disabled for . . . → Read More: Pin and Un-pin items to/from the Windows 7 taskbar What does Windows 7 have to do with music? Nothing, really. But I’ve noticed that no one has been enterprising enough to put the Window 7 taskbar features to REALLY good use and make an mp3 player that we can use while we work (WMP team, are you listening?). I mean, who doesn’t listen to music . . . → Read More: Lyre – A Windows 7 music player Brahma now runs on Mono! Here is a screenshot of the Mandelbrot sample running under Mono (on Windows, at the moment). I’m trying to get it working on Linux, but I haven’t been able to get MonoDevelop up on my PCLinuxOS, so I’m stuck with an empty X11Context implementation. Any help working with Mono on Linux would . . . → Read More: Brahma on Mono! One of the features I spent a lot of time thinking about, and implementing are: “deferred” ProvideValue calls on MarkupExtensions. In a XAML markup extension, ProvideValue is called when the tree is being loaded, and sometimes, it may be impossible to provide a value at that time. Also, since XAML makes use of internal classes like . . . → Read More: Markup extensions in Xoml I’ve had the XOML project registered on CodePlex since my last post, but it is now published. An early 0.1 pre-release version is also available. This version allows you to load hand-written Xoml, although XomlWriter isn’t far behind. To get stared with Xoml, the unit tests are probably the best place to start poking around. Feel free . . . → Read More: XOML on CodePlex For a long time, I’ve been writing about how messed up Xaml is because of WPF-interdependency, and how Microsoft should have decoupled the Xaml bits from WPF, etc (Some of these rants were on my old blog). Well, I finally decided to do something about it, and I’m writing a XAML-like library that loads, and writes . . . → Read More: XAML without WPF = XOML I just found out about SlimDX, and I think this is perhaps the best news I’ve gotten in a long time. DirectX from Managed code was a god-awful mess, what with MDX 1.1 being frozen and MDX 2.0 thrown out the window. Xna was never really the successor to MDX because it was meant as a . . . → Read More: SlimDX |
