Does validation still need the binding?

In Net 3.5 to set a validation rule in WPF you had to set binding as well. Is it still true for Net 4.0? If yes, is there any easy workaround for that?

WPF Application slow when coming back from idle

I have a WPF (.Net 3.5 sp1) application that loads a bunch of data on start up (it takes a few seconds to start up) but it performs fine after the data is loaded.

WPF - create a realworld app, focus on the main objective - not get sidetracked

Hi, I know the title is really unclear, so give me a moment :) I'm a pro-coder doing cool stuff at work (console games), but I've got an idea for an app (for a couple of years now ;)) that I'd like to create at home.
