• UseCode 3d performance - bleargh!

(Note that times are measured using Stopwatch.ElapsedTicks, with 3.6e6 ticks per second, that means that 3600 ticks is a millisecond; there will also be some overhead from using stopwatch itself). A simple example, and Im going to annotate each line with how many ticks it takes to execute. List<Point3D> posistions = new List<Point3D>(3000); // T ...Show All

I'm hosting some panels (with some TextBlocks inside) in an ItemsControl (each panel represents a row) using databinding to take advantage of UI virtualization.

Our fax server is Rightfax, and we can use any printer driver that creates PCL.  ...Show All
