published on Monday, October 15, 2012 by akzent
When you are developing a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application you have a lot of options to layout your controls automatically.

Allowing cross-domain access from Silverlight to a standalone WCF-Service
published on Saturday, March 12, 2011 by akzent
