• dpuccio Transitivity problem: Voters wanted!

  Hello! One of the really attractive aspects of DLinq is the transitive inclusion of objects navigatable from objects explicitly entered in DLinq scoped business.

Therefore I would like to ask, if there could be some of you who would like to go to the bug reporting place, determine if ...Show All

• GanitMandir my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code.

  I try to make a comment shape for my DSL, but the comment is displayed as a single long line.
