In the microsoft and .net world, is there an industry trend towards F# and functional programming, moving away from C# and VB.NET? What is it about F# that is so special?

I have been experimenting with WPF and rendering strict XAML markup in a web browser, also known as Loose XAML (explained here and here). It strikes me as mostly useful for displaying static content. However, it also appears possible to bind to an XML data provider. Loose XAML files are not compiled with an application, which create...

I'm working on a control to tie together the view from one ListView to another so that when the master ListView is scrolled, the child ListView view is updated to match. So far I've been able to get the child ListViews to update their view when the master scrollbar buttons are clicked. The problem is that when clicking and dragging t...
I am not the most experienced GUI programmer, so bear with me here. I have a custom list view. I would like to be able to drag a row from the ListView to another control on a form. I know how to catch events that are fired when an object is dragged to a control, but I am not sure how to make a row itself draggable. I could always hac...
I want to change/animate the Foreground property of a custom button control template depending on the control's state. Pre-RC0, I set the Foreground of the ContentPresenter, gave it an x:Name, and referenced it in the VisualStateManager transitions. Now, ContentPresenter no longer has a Foreground, since it doesn't inherit from Control...

How can I see which project use one project in particular? Edit I do not want to do 1 by 1 search in XML or in the Reference in VS. I would like a q...

I'm working on a project where I'm trying to avoid hard-coding DB IDs in a .NET service-oriented project. There are some instances where I need to set ID values through code but I don't want to just hard code the IDs since I've done that before and it lead to DB alignment nightmares when the auto-incrementing IDs were changed when the DB...
