I wasn’t planning in submitting (yet) another workaround for a Silverlight bug, but I stumbled across (yet) another annoying issue that causes no problems in WPF, but results in a exception being thrown in Silverlight. It definitely seems like another Silverlight bug still present in Silverlight 4. The problem I was building Paths by re-using [...]
I’ve come across a really annoying bug in Silverlight 3 that seems to be fixed in Silverlight 4, but still present in WP7. When creating a Style object in runtime, then setting that as the Style of an element in the visual tree, the Value properties in the Setters of the original Style are set [...]
I’ve recently ran into an issue: I wanted to draw an element with a dashed stroke using a Style I’ve created on the fly. To my surprise I couldn’t.

However when reaching a certain [...]
As far as I’ve known if the ClientID of a server control looked someting like this: ctl00_WebPartManager1_184c801b_7c67_4967_be37_3ab10406f967_ctl00_linkVote1 . Then the name sent on postback (which identified the control on the server side) was: ctl00$WebPartManager1$184c801b$7c67$4967$be37$3ab10406f967$ctl00$linkVote1 . But since some time the _ to $ conversion is not true any more. Instead the _ signs are randomly [...]
I use Visual Studio 2008 on a daily basis however for some older projects I have to work with VS 2005.
