We’ve just published an update to the Console UWP App project templates on the Visual Studio marketplace here. The latest version (v1.5) adds support for C#. The C# template code only works with Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7 or later. In a previous post, I described how to build a simple...

Scrolling is one of the oldest interactions on the web. Long before we had pull-to-refresh or infinite-loading lists, the humble scrollbar solved the web’s original scaling problem: how can we interact with content that’s stretched beyond the available viewport...

In today’s post, we’re covering how PC software can leverage the rich functionality of Windows 10. This is valuable background for the upcoming post “Adding UWP Features to Your Existing PC Software with the Desktop Bridge,” which will go into even more detail on the topic in the coming days...

The Windows Runtime (WinRT) is the technology that powers the Universal Windows Platform, letting developers write applications that are common to all Windows devices, from Xbox to PCs to HoloLens to phones. Most of UWP can also be used by developers targeting traditional desktop applications...

ECMAScript is the official name for the JavaScript language we all know and love. The next version of ECMAScript, ES6 (henceforth referred to by its new name, ES2015), is nearing the end of its standards process journey. At this stage Link Removed is final and will not be receiving any further...

This session covers the nuts and bolts of several key innovative compiler and runtime technologies we will be delivering in Visual Studio 2015 and its updates. New investments in the compiler and runtime space include: Improved optimization and auto-vectorization, /Guard secure code generation...

Today's episode is somewhat overdue, as the Cross-Platform Mobile Development experience has actually been in VS2015 previews since, well, Preview. Join us in today's packed episode as we go behind the scenes with Ankit and Ion on how the experience came to pass, what Visual Studio can bring to...

Today's project comes from Charles Torre. While the component's source isn't currently available, when I saw this post on the Visual Studio Gallery was from him, what looks like his first, well had to share it! As if I need to tell you all this, but we live in a connected world, more so every...

Lucian Wischik is an engineer who spends a great deal of his time making Async magic happen in the C# and VB compilers that do the heavy lifting and enable new asynchronous language features. Now, with the recent release of Visual Studio Async CTP SP1 Refresh, come several low-level improvements...

Last year the Coding4Fun/Channel 9 guys asked me to work on a few things for Link Removed. One of these items was a way to output a webcam stream to Windows Phone 7 for use with Clint's Link Removed you may have read about. I figured the easiest way to accomplish this was by using a network/IP...

TPL Dataflow (TDF), System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow, builds upon the foundational layer for asynchronous and concurrent programming using Tasks provided in TPL in .NET 4. TDF is a complementary set of primitives to those delivered in TPL in .NET 4, addressing additional scenarios beyond those...

Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a library to compose asynchronous and event-based programs using observable collections and LINQ-style query operators. Today, Rx has graduated from incubation or so-called "dev lab" status. Rx is now an officially sanctioned Microsoft developer technology and has...
