Tracing and logging WPF

Whilst researching unit testing WPF applications I came across Bob King's answer to this question on StackOverflow.

WPF DataBinding can appear to be a bit of a mysterious black box, but I now know that you can enable diagnostic trace sources to see what's happening under the covers. Mike Hillberg shows some examples in this post.

42% discount from Manning

I saw today on Jeffery Palermo's blog that Manning are offering a limited time discount on "Alt.Net" books if you use the discount code "alt42" before June 25th. I've taken up the offer and ordered the following:

• Building Domain Specific Languages in Boo by Ayende Rahien
• The Art of Unit Testing: with Examples in .NET by Roy Osherove
• ASP.NET MVC in Action by Jeffrey Palermo

Some good reading, and just in time to claim for a tax deduction too.

Error message of the day – "Something has went wrong"

Thankfully not something end-users get to see, but it does seem quite appropriate for an error (in an ironic kind of way).
