After changing some system settings in Longhorn in Virtual PC, and deciding just to “turn off” the window, the next time I started up, Longhorn was running very slowly.  After a while, a piece of toast popped up explaining Longhorn was in “Verification Mode” due to the crash.  It then allowed me to disable it, by brining up an “Is system allowed to run in verification mode?” dialog.  Very interesting... perhaps this is the next evolution of Safe Mode?

One of the first things I noticed when trying to iterate through the controls of a Longhorn form looking for a control was the absence of the Controls class.  In its place is the UIElementCollection, a member of the MSAvalon.Windows.Controls namespace for the PDC build. This is an array which you can use to gain access to the child controls of an element from the codebehind.  For example, if you had this scenario in the XAML document:

I was surprised to hear “What is a weblog or blog?” as one of the questions for Jeopardy today.  The answer? Presidential candidate Howard Dean made these popular for candidates during the 2003 democratic primary campaign (I'm working from memory here, so it's not a quote.) The Category? 21st Century Trends

After Chris Sells asked a few questions on my last post on property aliasing, and transforming bound data with the IDataTransformer interface, I realized the post may have been a bit shallow. Here's my article on how to bind & transform data, complete with working sample:
