WPF Pixel Shader Library and VB.NET & C# WPF Snippets

WPF Pixel Shader Library

Earlier this week I was reading Jaime Rodriguez’s blog and came across this really cool WPF pixel shader library that he blogged about.

Adam Kinney has also produced a Channel 9 video entitled WPF Effects Library interview with David Teitlebaum. 

The video shows you all the effects contained in the library.  This library is free and super cool!  Thank you!

Dr. WPF’s VB.NET & C# Snippets Library

I was working with Dr. WPF the other day and he was typing in three characters and all of a sudden the code window was painted with a complete stub including the surrounding region for a dependency property.  I stopped him and asked, “how did you just do that?”  OK, I admit it.  I have not used code snippets before since I have an Add-In I wrote that does this.  However, the snippets were easier and less typing.  I’m now a snippet convert.

You can read about the library and down load Dr. WPF’s WPF Code Snippets here.

The library contains both VB.NET and C# Versions of the following snippets:

• Dependency properties
• Attached dependency properties
• Readonly dependency properties
• Attached readonly dependency properties
• AddOwner for existing dependency properties
• Routed event declarations
• Routed event handlers (both instance and class handlers)
• Routed command declarations
• Routed command handlers (both instance and class handlers)
• Property declarations for the INotifyPropertyChanged interface

I hope these two links provide some super value to your WPF toolbox and that you have a great day!

Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.
