For the VMs I'm using an AOP (using CastleDynamicProxy for Debug and PostSharp for Release) to automatically do this for me. Jonas bloggedabout this approach. For PostSharp, I don't have a link, but I could send you a code that

I just saw everyone was alredy talking about PostSharp. Sorry I should read the thread before replying. BTW, it doesn't affect Blendability. I can live with what Steven suggested, of having that extra line bit of code for each property, but it gets a bit messy when you have derived properties. O

If you have another proxy the 127.0.0.1. (see the . at the end) trick doesn't work. Try using the computer name instead. @Stehpen, I didn't know about the somesite.com trick. Hwoever, it doesn't work from my machine, I'll try it at home. On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 2:22 PM, Greg Keogh wrote: > I

Chaps, I have decided that snippets are the quickest way out of this at the moment. It doesn't modularise or reduce the property code, but at least it means I can create them faster. Actually, I forgot how good snippets are. For some reason I neglected them for the last couple of years, now I'm

Greg, I feel your pain and have been through similar stuff although probably not that bad. I've said it before, if this stuff was easy then everyone would be doing it. but yeah, you'd think we'd be getting easier not harder over time. My complaints to add to the mix are; - Unit testing is harder

Yay me :) I think the setting that does that is related to the Use Local IIS Web server. I do the same, tell it to use IIS. I think if you select a Silverlight unit test project it generates a test page and launches that via the file system path by default. It's fine for a unit test but not for yo

+1 for live templates. I like that it u can use a convention to name ur fields with the camelcase version of ur prop name. The other thing consider is using an expression for the propertychanged method instead of passing a string. That makes refactoring easier. RaisePropertyChanged(()=>Las

>In theory you could have a shared library (basic implementation mind you) That's a utopic theory. Although we like to think that this is a useful thing, the number of portable assemblies is so insignificant that we can't do anything serious.
