While I don't doubt that a difficult supply disruption will occur for that resin, it's more likely that a replacement for the resin will occur. Albeit causing an increase in cars and car parts.

From the article,
As many as 200 automotive industry representatives were expected to meet at a secret location in the Detroit suburbs today, ...

Detroit still has suburbs? Smile | :)

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.

I signed up for one of those group-buy sites and got this one in the mail today. Made me do a "spit take", to be honest! Smile | :)

Only $49 for Colon Hydrotherapy [^]

Mede me wonder if someone received this and actually went "WOW! Just what I was looking for! A professionally performed enema!" Laugh | :laugh:

Consider this statement:
Because you create a ControlTemplate in XAML, you can change a control's appearance without writing any code.

Source: MSDN

I know that there is a difference between 'Markup' and 'Code'; however, the statement still seemed humorous to me because the phrase 'without writing any code' usually implies a designer or wizard - or ease of use - when in fact XAML can be quite involved.

Consider the following tiny snippet of XAML:

Copy Code

<ControlTemplate TargetType="ComboBox">
  <Grid>
    <Border x:Name="ContentPresenterBorder">
      <Grid>
        <ToggleButton x:Name="DropDownToggle"
                      HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"  
                      Margin="-1" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right">
          <Path x:Name="BtnArrow" Height="4" Width="8" 
                Stretch="Uniform" Margin="0,0,6,0"  Fill="Black"
                Data="F1 M 300,-190L 310,-190L 305,-183L 301,-190 Z " />
        </ToggleButton>
        <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter" Margin="6,2,25,2">
          <TextBlock Text=" " />
        </ContentPresenter>
      </Grid>
    </Border>
    <Popup x:Name="Popup">
      <Border x:Name="PopupBorder" 
              HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="Auto" 
              BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" 
              BorderBrush="Black" Background="White" CornerRadius="3">
        <ScrollViewer x:Name="ScrollViewer" BorderThickness="0" Padding="1">
          <ItemsPresenter/>
        </ScrollViewer>
      </Border>
    </Popup>

  </Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

Is the take away supposed to be: Thank heavens I was able to write that in XAML and didn't have to resort to writing any code. I just don't see the big relief here. The selling point: Do it without code is falling a bit flat.

Poke tongue | ;-P

Reading that hasn't changed my view that I was right to stick with WinForms.

Eloquent, and yet I am unconvinced. MS are still supporting MFC, so WinForms isn't going away, and I believe I will still be "singing this tune" for some time to come.

But...but...but...we frequently change the UI without changing the working code. Don't we?

Never understood the separation of duties stuff. I've yet to go in and just rework the UI for no apparent reason.

Well, we've never had to hit multiple UI other than desktop and web, which use pretty much the same components, anyway, i.e. GridView vs. DataGridView, etc.

The business logic doesn't change all that much between the two. (Although I often cut back on how much is displayed for the web. No one likes to wait an hour for a browser to render a zillion rows of a dataset. :p )
