• There's Always Time for Pie!

  If you like geeky simplicity, check out this XAML clock.  It was built by one of our designers, Nathan Dunlap, using only the Pie shape and the EvalBinding markup extension.  It was built using the just-released July CTP version of the Blendables™ Essentials Mix.  If you’ve already installed the July CTP bits, try the lightweight version of the Pie clock.

• EvalBinding Enhancements in July CTP

  The July CTP release of the Essentials Mix contains a lot of improvements for the EvalBinding markup extension.  Check out the latest version of the EvalBinding and SimpleBinding Whitepaper for information related to new debugging features, partial trust support, ClickOnce deployment, and more.

• July Customer Technology Preview (CTP) available

  A couple of new things you'll find in the July CTP: We were able to fix the issue referenced in this forum post: http://blendables.com/forums/t/89.aspx We added some new functionality to ChromelessWindow.  See the updated scenario #4 in the ChromelessWindow documentation to read up on the 3 new attached properties that were added: http://blendables.com/files/folders/essentials_documentation/entry109.aspx. The timeout on this package is still set to run until October 1, 2007 uninterrupted. I can't thank the community enough for your feedback.  Keep posting to the forums and keep letting us know what you'd like to see. You can find the updated JulyCTP by clicking on the "download now" button on the blendables.com homepage. Posted Jul 26 2007, 09:41 PM by kurt.brockett with no comments Filed under: Essentials

• Take Your Bindings to the Next Level

  With EvalBinding and SimpleBinding, you may never need to write another custom value converter!  Check out this whitepaper for some long-overdue documentation, samples, and technical information regarding the EvalBinding and SimpleBinding markup extensions.  We really think these new XAML extensions will unleash some power for WPF designers and developers.  Please let us know what you manage to pull off using these bindings.
