Welcome to my site

First let me say thanks for stopping by my site. My name is David Hanson-Graville and I am a IT consultant working in the UK. Let me make it clear, I am passionate about technology and specifically .net and its various forms. I've programmed in a range of langages, but I can say, I am now at my happiest when coding with c#. I hope my blog is an enjoyable & educational read and please feel free to email me at David.Hanson@OnTheBlog.net if you have any questions.

If you get this error in your designer when working with XAML in Visual Studio 2008...make sure you dont have any visual elements that inherit from an abstract class.  May seem obvious but can be easily missed.

Thanx for the tip!!! <br>I was having the same problem... and the fact that my program would run fine... but could not show a specific form in xaml designer was driving me nuts...<br><br>It somehow looks obvious... just after you find out what was wrong with it at the first place....
