What do you do when you find yourself struggling to write even the most basic of code having been using Resharper with VS2010 and you really don’t want to spend any money on a license?
Luckily there is free stuff out there to help (some of which is also available for 2010):

One of the perils of being in a browser is that a user may have some unsaved data input tasks. The data can be easily lost by accidently navigating to a different webpage, closing the browser or closing the tab.
Preventing this is relatively easy making use of Silverlight and JavaScript communication in conjunction with the window.onbeforeunload function. See below for example and code snippets. 😀
2 CommentsThis is a port of a shader I wrote a long time ago at University to Silverlight. It was originally written it Direct X and C++. I am not going to go into too much detail about the implementation but will mention key points I came across.
