Today I've started using StyleCop in my open source project. With the help of style cop you can configure copyright text, which should be added to each file. Also ReSharper plugin for StyleCop will automatically add this header after clean up. But there is a little problem with setting up copyright text if it is not a single line. With style cop setting manager u can use only single line textbox to manage copyright text. So, I strongly recommend u to use text xml editor for this purpose. Also resharper plugin will not generate copyright text correctly if it holds new lines. To avoid this issue u can add slashes by hand before all newlines. Here is an example:

   1: <StringProperty Name="Copyright">This file is part of YOUR PROJECT 

   2: //

  15: </StringProperty>  

 Many people ask question why polling duplex session shutdown after 10 minutes in spite of polling duplex InactivityTimeout value is more than hour.

Amount of silverlight polling duplex clients is defined by MaxConcurrentSessions throttling property. Default value is 10.

Today I've lost about 6 hours to find out why POLLING DUPLEX make all my WCF services work extremely SLOW. The reason was Global.ashx. Don't know why it caused such problems, but when I've deleted it everything started working correctly.

I'd like to say thanks for all people who helped us to prepare for Microsoft business start 2009!

Yesterday I've started using twitter service. U can follow me here

Today I officially join SIlverlightShow.net author's team.

Recently, I need to develop APM in my silverlight application. After rather long search through internet information garbage, I found wonderful article written by Jeffery Richter "Implementing the CLR Asynchronous Programming Model". Article is written for .NET, but code is 100% reusable in Silverlight.
