I am currently developing a WPF application that will utilize existing WinForm dialogs. I'm experiencing a long lag between the time I call ShowDialog() on a WinForm to the time it is displayed.

I want to change all objects that match a condition to use a specific/new subclass. There are no other subclasses being used with the stored objects, so its in all cases a change from the base class to its subclass. In order to keep all references pointing to these objects, I tried using bind to replace them with new instances of the s...
Hi, I have written a module.

This regex is for recipe ingredients (simplified for sake of example): (?<measurement> # begin group \s* # o...
