Reality TV stars had to vacate their front-row seats to make room for the new celebrities of the season: athletes. Enjoying a post-Olympics popularity spike, athletes—from dainty gymnasts to burly hockey stars— presided over a different kind of court in September.
This story first appeared in the October 27, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Gymnast Nastia Liukin, who won a gold medal for all-around gymnastics in Beijing, fittingly wore a gold Peter Som dress to the designer's New York show. She also attended Badgley Mischka, along with fellow gold medalist, retired swimmer Amanda Beard, who modeled during the week. Swimmer Dara Torres, who, at 41, came out of retirement to win a silver medal in Beijing, walked the runway at Charles Nolan.
LeBron James made his fashion week debut at Ralph Lauren's show, with the two men cohosting an event later that week. And hockey players also made the rounds, particularly Sean Avery, who skipped training with the Dallas Stars for the Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodriguez and Vera Wang shows. Meanwhile, Avery's former New York Rangers teammate Henrik Lundqvist was spotted at Tommy Hilfiger.
The U.S. Open sent its own flock of athletes from Arthur Ashe to Bryant Park. Maria Sharapova, who had to sit out the Olympics and U.S. Open due to a shoulder injury, made the rounds. Andy Roddick made Lacoste's show, while women's champion Serena Williams did a front-row victory lap at Calvin Klein and Luca Luca, as sister Venus visited Diane von Furstenberg.
Boris Becker attended the Talbot Runhof show in Paris, and a number of medalists made front-row appearances in Milan. South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock, also known as the girlfriend of Monaco's Prince Albert II, trilled that she was "so excited" to be at the Giorgio Armani show for the first time. Also at the show was goldmedal swimmer Federica Pellegrini.
Fencer Valentina Vezzali was flanked by two of her peers, Diego Occhiuzzi and Aldo Montano, who believes there's more of a connection between fencing and fashion than meets the eye. "Fencing is synonymous with elegance, from the attire to the cavalry and the posture," said the bronze medalist.
Vezzali and Italian Olympic silver medalist in fencing, Margherita Granbassi, were also invited by Laura Biagiotti, whose front row is regularly graced by athletes.
Alex Schwarzer, who took home a gold medal in the marathon walking category, was at Emporio Armani, while Olympic swimmer Paolo Bossini was at D&G and is rumored to be involved with the designers in a sports-related event or ad campaign.

Grunge means that you make it look dirty, beaten up, broken, messy, really dusty, scratched, etc.
It's basically because perfect-looking images can't really happen very often in real life, so these look more realistic.

Why can't we file Windows bug reports?
Posted by Steven Jeuris in Uncategorized on August 2, 2016
A bit of a rant today, for which I apologize in advance.
So far, I have always been quite pleased with Microsoft Connect. As a bug reporting platform for Microsoft, I am under the impression that most issues are given professional consideration, even though they might go unanswered in the long run. The Microsoft Community on the other hand—the only place to submit bug reports concerning the Windows operating system—is a joke. One can not help but feeling treated like an average chum when an underpaid overseas employee 'answers' your question by posting a suggestion along the lines of:
In other words, the Microsoft Community is a help desk, tailoring to problems which can be solved by pointing to documentation, or posting a friendly reminder to update your computer, rather than a bug reporting platform. Perhaps justifiably, I got angry when trying to report on a recent issue with my new XPS 15:
No, the above 'recommendation' is not helpful. In fact, although I am certain your intentions are well, it even comes across as offensive. Please let me clarify why, and why you (or rather, Microsoft) might want to reconsider how bug reports for the Windows operating system currently work.
As part of my workday (as a software engineer), I took time off to report on a bug which could help out further development on a product I use every day as part of my work (the Windows operating system). I know pinpointing bugs can be hard, and detailed bug reports are hard to come by. Therefore, I figured sharing my findings could help out anyone working on this product by either making them aware there is a problem, or by pinpointing where the problem in particular might lie. Consider it free labor on my behalf, because I care about the product which makes up my everyday work environment. I do the same whenever I encounter problems with Visual Studio, and every other product I rely on. To this end, I have had great experiences with Microsoft Connect; as a counterexample to the 'Microsoft Community' here, I feel the Visual Studio team takes feedback from the community seriously, provides timely feedback, and iteratively improves on the overall product based on community interaction.
Unfortunately, such a 'community' seems to be non-existent for Microsoft Windows. As if possessed with magical foresight, I was warned this "community is crap" and I should expect nothing but "crappy unhelpful 'suggestions' which after about a week or so are enforced as the accepted answer by moderators". Please let this sink in for a moment: this is the impression that professionals that try to contribute to this community (and Windows) are left with after posting. Sure, they won't report on any more bugs; do you believe this means they are solved? More likely, the product or particular feature reported on is abandoned altogether.
This is where you, Sayan, come in. An unfortunate employee of Microsoft, hired to post anything remotely related from the documentation, seemingly assuming any question on this site must be posted by a granny that just received her first tablet computer for her 75th birthday. Unfortunately this also means you are now the one being bombarded with this wall of text, for which I apologize. Feel free to redirect this to whoever 'higher-up' believes they are providing good 'product support' for Windows.
It is a bit hypocritical to pester people with pop-ups requesting automated bug reports each time a crash occurs, or requesting people to enable application reporting 'to improve your experience', but seemingly disregard any detailed feedback people provide voluntarily. Why is there no professional, public, bug reporting site for Windows?
For now I have disabled this "setting[ ] which adds to its beauty", since I can obviously not expect my newly purchased >2000 dollar laptop to handle it. If you believe this means my question is answered, by all means mark it as such. Alternatively, if this bug report inspires your curiosity and you require more information in order to pinpoint the exact problem, I am more than willing to cooperate. I hope I provided you with sufficient information to run a repro on your end. I already ran two. 'Helpful' would be taking this bug report seriously, and you (Microsoft) doing the same.
Why does Microsoft (apparently deliberately) block off bug reports by professionals? They could easily set up Microsoft Connect to welcome Windows bug reports. Even without the developers looking into those issues directly, I feel by merely opening such a site up to the community better support than what currently is provided can be achieved. Cutting off such 'volunteer' testers is a big missed opportunity by Microsoft.
Multiplayer Point 'n Click Adventure Games: Long Overdue
Posted by Steven Jeuris in About me, Crazy Ideas on December 27, 2015
"What are adventure games?", you might ask. When confronted with this question I usually reply they are interactive movies, where you need to solve puzzles in order for the plot to progress. As you interact with objects and characters within the game, the backstory is revealed. The first few minutes of Resonance provide a good first impression of what a point 'n click adventure game has to offer: captivating cutscenes, followed by seemingly trivial interactions with the game environment, which regardless reveal a rich underlying story.
Adventure games have gone somewhat out of fashion over the years, making way for more fast-paced action-packed video games, like first-person shooters. However, a few—mainly independent—developers have kept the genre alive, and true gems (like Resonance) are still released sporadically. They generally adhere to the core game mechanics (as well as witty dialogues) introduced by the classics, and often still prefer old school pixel artwork over modern graphics.
One overlooked feature of adventure games is they are inherently suitable to be played by multiple players; not true multiplayer, but for the lack of a better word, lets call them potential 'audience games'. At countless occasions I have invited friends over to kick back in the couch, open a beer, and gaze at a projection or screen as somebody point 'n clicks his way through the game's narrative. Similar to watching a movie, but different in that shouting throughout (to point out what to click next) is not only appreciated, but in fact encouraged. There is something suspiciously entertaining about listening to people's concoctions on what item to combine with the "rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle" in order to finally put it to good use; usually followed by a short silence and a subsequent "Why on earth would you want to do that?". I dubbed such evenings (and late nights) 'Adventure Game Nights', and wanted to report on what works and what does not. In addition, I see opportunities for making adventure games true multiplayer experiences.
After years of hosting such events for uninitiated and seasoned players alike (I once even played a game over Skype), some things became apparent:
- It is best to pick games with a strong narrative, rather than a shallow story line. In other words, games like Resonance, The Inner World, Still Life, and The Blackwell Legacy appeal to a wider audience than true classics like Monkey Island. Games on the far end of this spectrum, interactive dramas like The Walking Dead, are the perfect gateway drug for people to get hooked on the genre, but unfortunately lack the complexity which make adventure games stand out.
- Spoken dialogues are essential! It is near impossible to stay focused as a group when everyone needs to read on-screen text at their own leisure and pace.
- If you cherish your night rest, start early, and pick a game which doesn't last too long (aim for a maximum of seven hours). Short episodic adventure games offer a solution, although they generally aren't as captivating (the Blackwell series being the exception). Ideally, in case you have a core group of point 'n click addicts, you can decide on a longer game and play it over several evenings.
- Pixel hunting (scrutinous scanning of the screen to find anything clickable) is exacerbated when playing in group; you'll hear people shouting "Can you click on the red thingy in the bottom corner?", at times followed by "We already clicked that!". A quick primer on how to tell whether something is clickable or not in advance is recommended.
The takeaway message for game designers and developers is there might be a broader audience for point 'n click adventure games than they traditionally anticipate. Rather than solely tailoring adventure games to single player experiences, there is an opportunity to design adventure games with group experiences in mind. Besides changing the overall format so it can be consumed in one sitting (similar to movies), it would be worthwhile experimenting with features which account for multiple players wanting to interact with the game environment simultaneously. To this end designers could leverage the fact that players each carry a powerful computer in their pockets (smartphones) allowing for rich interactions. Some obvious candidates: maintain a history of interactions and dialogues, 'vote to skip', suggested puzzle resolutions including a point system, …
The possibilities are endless … A multiplayer point 'n click game is long overdue!
Non-generic Wrapper instead of Base Class or Interface
Posted by Steven Jeuris in .NET, Generics, Software Design on December 15, 2015
A common solution to treating a generic type as non-generic is to implement an interface or make the generic type extend from a non-generic base class. Among other reasons, this allows you to instantiate a collection of generic types. There are varying implementations of this pattern, but they all seem to share this common strategy. In this article I present an alternate approach favoring composition over inheritance which I argue is more appropriate in circumstances where the intent is to break type safety.
To clarify, I will follow Steven Lowe's argumentation on misuse of inheritance. Semantically, the statement "SomeType<T> is SomeType" is not always true; SomeType<T> is not a proper subtype of SomeType when the base type exposes type-specific bits (as Jon Skeet puts it). In this case the extending type imposes more restrictions than the base type. When there is a need to expose type-specific bits (implying type casts are involved), using inheritance does not follow the Liskov substitution principle (LSP). Regardless, such subtypes seem common. Just consider Microsoft's List<T> implementing a non-generic IList which to quote Eric Lippert, "is a bit odd, since List for any type other than object does not fulfill the full contract of IList".
From this it becomes clear there are real-world scenarios where a generic type needs to be accessed in a non-generic way (e.g. during reflection as I argued previously). Type safety is temporarily broken, leaving it is up to the caller to guarantee only the correct types are used. How then to improve on the following common implementation? Note that since the non-generic interface is implemented explicitly, the caller consciously needs to cast to ISomeType, somewhat alleviating the problem of possible misuse.
public interface ISomeType { object Value { get; set; } } public class SomeType<T> : ISomeType { public T Value { get; set; } // Explicit implementation (cast to ISomeType needed to be used). object ISomeType.Value { get { return this.Value; } set { this.Value = (T)value; } } }
We need a non-generic interface but are given a generic interface, so why not apply the adapter pattern?
An adapter helps two incompatible interfaces to work together. […] Interfaces may be incompatible but the inner functionality should suit the need.
Since the class we are trying to create an adapter for is generic, our adapter implementation needs to be generic too. However, we can expose the non-generic interface which will be used by the client. Just like a usual adapter, the non-generic wrapper contains the adaptee and refers all of the IAdaptor calls to it, casting to T where necessary.
public interface IAdaptor { object Value { get; set; } } class NonGenericWrapper<T> : IAdaptor { private readonly Adaptee<T> _adaptee; public NonGenericWrapper(Adaptee<T> adaptee) { _adaptee = adaptee; } public object Value { get { return _adaptee.Value; } set { _adaptee.Value = (T) value; } } }
Furthermore, to facilitate the creation of this non-generic wrapper (and in addition hiding its implementation) the wrapper can optionally be initialized from within the adaptee and added as a member. This approach seems similar to how user interface controls in .NET expose the window handle they operate on as a member variable, allowing for unsafe operations when the control class does not offer the required functionality.
public class Adaptee<T> { public T Value { get; set; } public IAdaptor NonGeneric { get; private set; } public Adaptee() { NonGeneric = new NonGenericWrapper<T>(this); } }
This approach still requires boiler-plate code to be written and maintained (NonGenericWrapper<T>), but no longer breaks the Liskov substitution principle. Ideally creating non-generic wrappers can be automated, of which I created an early prototypical solution before (not functional in all scenarios). Until then, this solution provides a more robust implementation for complex scenarios using generics, like collections of generic types with varying type parameters on which the same operations need to be performed. This might be the topic of a future post.
Missing Affordances in Windows 10
Posted by Steven Jeuris in HCI on October 15, 2015
Before heading out to the shooting range and placing Windows 10 on the target stand, let it be said that Windows 10 is a great improvement over Windows 8 and definitely a step in the right direction. However, this post is not concerned with overall impressions, neither with minor bugs which I'm certain will be ironed out over time. Rather, it sets out to highlight (call it nitpicking if you want) several annoying aspects of the redesigned window manager which I don't expect to see changed any time soon. At first these seem like minute manageable details. However, when it comes to usability seemingly small issues can become a major annoyance when running into them on a regular basis, especially when they occur during moments of high workload where the window manager is already put under a great amount of stress.
There is no need to go into detail about the notion of affordances (and its many interpretations), except for presenting one of the earlier definitions (The Psychology of Everyday Things, Norman 1988, p.9):
"…the term affordance refers to the perceived and actual properties of the thing, primarily those fundamental properties that determine just how the thing could possibly be used. […] Affordances provide strong clues to the operations of things. Plates are for pushing. Knobs are for turning. Slots are for inserting things into. Balls are for throwing or bouncing. When affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction needed."
Within user interface (UI) design, this means UI components should thus 'afford' clicking, dragging, moving, or any other operation that is supported by presenting the user with clear visual clues.
Window Manager in Windows 10
As Windows evolved, the styling of application windows was designed to be more and more in line with current minimalistic trends in interface design. Styling preferences aside, unfortunately this also introduces changes in the visible affordances to work with windows. In the following figure, notice in particular how the distinction between the title bar, the menu bar, and the window border are removed in subsequent versions of Windows.
You might wonder, which affordances does this affect? Take a look at the old documentation on how to manipulate windows. In particular, I notice two major changes which bother me.
Resizing windows:
In Windows 7, there was a visible border above which the mouse pointer changed to a resize icon. There was thus an easy visible target to point to when resizing windows.
In Windows 10, all borders (except the top border) are invisible. To resize a window you need to hover over the empty area surrounding the window in order for the resize option to appear. Even more challenging is resizing the top right corner. Try figuring out where the resize option appears, as opposed to where the close button lights up! This is complicated immensely since the top border is visible (but overlayed by the close button starting from Windows 8), and the side border is invisible. Hovering over this area is quirky and unpredictable to say the least.
Moving windows:
The title bar can be used to move the application window using the mouse (click and drag). However, in Windows 10 there is no longer a visible separation between the title bar and the menu bar. [UPDATE: Microsoft has since released an update reintroducing colored title bars.] Note that the menu bar can not be used to drag the window. The pointing task to move a window is thus complicated since there are no visual clues to determine whether a window can be dragged from a given position (not even on hover). However, since it seems the menu bar has been removed for modern Windows applications, this is mainly a problem for classic desktop applications (and will be until they are phased out).
In line with the concept of affordances, Microsoft's user experience checklist for desktop applications states the following:
Never require users to click an object to determine if it is clickable. Users must be able to determine clickability by visual inspection alone.
- Primary UI (such as commit buttons) must have a static click affordance. Users shouldn't have to hover to discover primary UI.
- Secondary UI (such as secondary commands or progressive disclosure controls) can display their click affordance on hover.
- […]
For your convenience, the definitions (taken from Microsoft's glossary) of some of the more obscure concepts listed above:
commit button—A command button used to commit to a task, proceed to the next step in a multi-step task, or cancel a task. […]
primary command—A central action that fulfills the primary purpose of a window. For example, Print is a primary command for a Print dialog box. […]
secondary command—A peripheral action that, while helpful, isn't essential to the purpose of the window. For example, Find Printer or Install Printer are secondary commands for a Print dialog box. […]
progressive disclosure—A technique of allowing users to display less commonly used information (typically, data, options, or commands) as needed. For example, if more options are sometimes needed, users can expose them in context by clicking a chevron button.
Using this terminology it can thus be argued Microsoft now considers window operations to be 'secondary commands', as opposed to 'primary commands'. Personally I don't find what in essence are invisible UI components good design, regardless of whether their functionality becomes visible on hover. More importantly, the lack of any visual distinction (even on hover) between the title bar and the menu bar contradicts Microsoft's own design guidelines. It seems like usability took a backseat to styling, just for the sake of having a 'flat' look.
Core Values Theory: Hacking Emotions
Posted by Steven Jeuris in About me on May 27, 2015
Underwood: "And you don't make decisions on emotions?" Tusk: "Decisions based on emotions aren't decisions at all. They're instincts, … which can be of value. The rational and the irrational complement each other. Individually they're far less powerful."
This exchange between the manipulative protagonist Frank Underwood and billionaire Raymond Tusk in House of Cards highlights a key argument I've been raising during discussions on relationships for years—decisions based on emotions aren't decisions at all. It sets the scene for a rational account on relationships I've come to refer to as 'core values theory' during many heated conversations late into the night. My own understanding of the concept, based on nothing else but the experience of life, seems to have solidified sufficiently in order to recount it here. Although you are reading a software design blog, don't expect anything IT related beyond the title "Hacking Emotions" from here on out.
What do you want?
Seems like a simple question doesn't it? "What do you want in life?" The truth though is that the majority of people you ask this question either greet you with a blank stare, or simply state they "just want to be happy". Try it out for yourself! Next time, rather than discussing the newest episode of Game of Thrones, catch a friend off guard by asking this very question. You might be surprised to discover a general consensus that we are all just pawns in the grand scheme of things; passive bystanders whose roles are limited to either jumping on the passing train, or waiting for the next one. "Carpe Diem" offers a rich perspective on life, make the most out of each moment, but does it exclude glancing at the train schedule so you know where you are headed?
The problem with the blank stare, or solely relying on emotions to decide on a course of action, is you assume a passive role in life. You let your environment decide for you and simply express approval or disapproval. You do not grow as a person—you do not learn what it is that makes you happy or unhappy, what your goal is in life. Ultimately, it is counterproductive; simply pursuing the experience of happiness does not guarantee it in the long run, as you do not gain an understanding of how to maintain it. A case in point being our current materialistic society; quick-fix possessions do not lead to true happiness, on the contrary, it is self-destructive.
In his book "The 7 habits of highly effective people", Stephen R. Covey's advocates becoming aware of one's own internal 'maps': where you stand, and where you want to be headed.
Each of us has many, many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories: maps of the way things are, or realities, and maps of the way things should be, or values. We interpret everything we experience through these mental maps. We seldom question their accuracy; we're usually even unaware that we have them. – Stephen R. Covey
Far from being a book I would recommend, it still contains valuable ideas, including the suggestion of being proactive as opposed to reactive in life. Being proactive does not simply mean taking matter into your own hands, but also implies identifying that which concerns you, in order to work towards enlarging your influence on that which truly matters to you. It implies a positive stance in life, asking yourself "What can I do?", rather than "Why does this happen to me?", the result of which is a rewarding sense of empowerment.
Part of what makes us human is we do not have control over our emotions. It is outside of our circle of influence, but most definitely within our circle of concern. How then, to take a proactive stance when emotions are involved?
So, what DO you want?
Relationships, being one of the most fundamental building blocks in life, give rise to the strongest of emotions: love, hate, loneliness, jealousy, … and happiness. While I imagine that most people readily agree with the earlier quote from House of Cards, I have yet to meet anyone that truly applies it in all aspects of life, including relationships. On the contrary, mainstream culture seems to disregard any sense of rationality when it comes to love. Love is impenetrable to human thought, and should be left to destiny. Media does a good job of reinforcing this simplistic view, even in nontraditional "Once upon a time …" movies: "It just happened. […] I just woke up one day and I knew." – 500 Days of Summer
Unless you aren't looking for 'happy ever after', the problem is relationships (and marriages) also "just happen" to end because "the love is gone". This common view on relationships is a reactive one.
One of my most controversial viewpoints in life is that relationships should not be dictated by feelings. I look at emotions as a manifestation of an underlying cause which you do have some level of control over. I am not declaring war on feelings here. Feelings (or lack thereof) are useful signposts put up by your body. However, it is your mind's job to follow the right ones and decide where to go. A proactive approach by no means guarantees a 'happy ever after', but more importantly increases your awareness of what you are looking for and allows you to learn from past experiences (what to repeat, and what not to repeat). I do not believe in relationships built solely on top of feelings, and consider them a fruitless endeavor; emotional roller-coasters that make you feel alive, but in the end you still need to exit the theme park.
There is a need to identify who you are, what you want in life, i.e. to identify your identity—your core. As often expressed: "Find yourself before you find love."
Core Values
In a nutshell, core values theory advocates identifying objective values you expect your partner to have in a relationship, based on your expectations in life. They are testable, meaning, as you get to know someone, you can objectively judge whether or not they fit these criteria. They are 'core' values in the sense that they make up your identity; changing them would imply changing your nature, your personality. Emotions do not come into play. Within Stephen R. Covey's diagram it could be depicted as an unbendable center you are unwilling to change.
Ironically, a common response to this is "But how can you be so picky? If one thing on the list doesn't work out, you give up? You do not open up yourself to new experiences". The truth though is most people already have a similar list, but just aren't aware about it. By externalizing and objectifying it for some reason it becomes a faux pas. Their list however is usually longer, transient, more restrictive than the core values I am talking about here, and includes subjective values like "it needs to feel right", or "it needs to be love at first sight". The 'list' is nothing more than a mental exercise, identifying key aspects in your life on which to make more rational decisions when clouded by emotion, or even in the absence of emotion. If anything, it is more in line with the idiom, "There are plenty of fish in the sea", recognizing you are not after 'the one', but after anyone you can fully respect, and love.
There is some reasoning behind this madness. Firstly, you should not think less of your spouse; a relationship is built on mutual respect. In the case of conflicting core values I argue this is unsustainable. It easily turns into recurrent arguments throughout the relationship, where you want to out-argue the other, causing resentment and loss of respect. Secondly, you should not expect to change or 'fix' your partner in a relationship; do not expect the core values of your partner to change, it is outside of your circle of influence. Your energy should be focused elsewhere, where you can actually make a change, and where you can still discover yourself.
This 'theory' has some controversial implications. There is nothing wrong with dating someone you have no feelings for, yet are sexually attracted to. Consider it an opportunity to discover your core values. From my own experience I can tell you either feelings will follow, or you learn something new about yourself to take with you into subsequent relationships. But more importantly, a breakup should be indicative of discovering a mismatch in core values, which makes it less of a loss, and more of a learning experience.
This perspective on relationships comes at a price. Most people want to be swept off their feet, where emotions take center stage. I'm a rational person, and prefer placing rationality at the center. Either way, the stage is big enough, and there is room for both. It might seem hard to believe in a long-term relationship with such conflicting perspectives, but luckily, a rational center is not a core value to me. I know I can learn a lot from an emotional counterpart, and I like to think this works both ways.
Generic TypeConverter for XAML

Typically, you specify a TypeConverter for a certain type by applying the TypeConverterAttribute to it.
[TypeConverterAttribute( typeof( PointConverter ) )] public struct Point : IFormattable
Since attribute arguments cannot use type parameters, this prevents you from specifying a generic TypeConverter for a generic class. I came across this issue while implementing a type converter to support specifying instances of my generic Interval class from XAML. The following is not possible.
// attribute argument cannot use type parameters [TypeConverter( typeof( IntervalTypeConverter<T, TSize> ) )] public class Interval<T, TSize>
However, you can write a non-generic TypeConverter which is capable of converting strings to several different target types. When using XAML you can obtain a IDestinationTypeProvider service through the context which is passed to the ConvertFrom method. From here you can retrieve the fully specified target type, including generic type parameters. Through reflection you can then call a Parse method on the specific type to take care of initializing an instance of the desired type. An example for Interval can be found in my library.
public override object ConvertFrom( ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value ) { var typeProvider = (IDestinationTypeProvider)context.GetService( typeof( IDestinationTypeProvider ) ); Type targetType = typeProvider.GetDestinationType(); // ... convert to desired target type using a parsing method return base.ConvertFrom( context, culture, value ); }
However, it is important to note that this type provider will only work for XAML, since the IDestinationTypeProvider service is only provided by XAML's ServiceProviderContext. It is thus not desirable to add this TypeProvider to types which work independent from XAML, like my Interval class. In addition this would require referencing the System.Xaml assembly.
How then to make XAML use this type provider without applying the attribute to the type definition? One option is applying the TypeConverter attribute on a per-property basis.
The per-property type converter technique is particularly useful if you choose to use a property type from Microsoft .NET Framework or from some other library where you cannot control the class definition and cannot apply a TypeConverterAttribute there.
However, this implies a lot of redundancy, having to apply the attribute to every property of that specific type. Using TypeDescriptor.AddAttributes() you can assign a TypeConverter at runtime.
TypeDescriptor.AddAttributes( typeof( Interval<,> ), new TypeConverterAttribute( typeof( IntervalTypeConverter ) ) );
Any subsequent TypeDescriptor.GetConverter() call will then return the converter for the specified type. Unfortunately this does not work for XAML, since XAML does not seem to take component modifications at runtime into account. Therefore, in order for this to work, we need to implement this runtime behavior ourselves. Recall that XAML does load TypeConverter's specified in TypeConverterAttribute's. We can thus use a special type converter which redirects its implementation to a converter loaded through TypeDescriptor to hook into XAML's type conversion runtime. I implemented a RedirectTypeConverter which can be used as a base class for this exact purpose. Each of its methods first ensures the converter is initialized using TypeDescriptor, and then redirects the call to this converter. When TypeDescriptor.GetConverter( _type ) returns the redirecting type converter itself, this means no converter was specified using TypeDescriptor, hence no conversion is supported for this type.
protected RedirectTypeConverter( Type type ) { _type = type; } public override object ConvertFrom( ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value ) { InitializeConverter(); return _converter.ConvertFrom( context, culture, value ); } public void InitializeConverter() { if ( _converter != null ) { return; } _converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter( _type ); if ( _converter.GetType() == GetType() ) { string message = string.Format( "Conversion failed. Converter for {0} is missing in TypeDescriptor.", _type ); throw new InvalidOperationException( message ); } }
class RedirectIntervalTypeConverter : RedirectTypeConverter { public RedirectIntervalTypeConverter() : base( typeof( Interval<,> ) ) { } }
Applying this converter using TypeConverterAttribute to generic types thus allows redirecting type conversion to a converter which supports multiple target types in environments which provide information about the target type (like XAML using IDestinationTypeProvider). You only need to add the converter once, and it will be supported for all of your dependency properties using them.
TypeDescriptor.AddAttributes( typeof( Interval<,> ), new TypeConverterAttribute( typeof( IntervalTypeConverter ) ) );
Interval: Generic Ranges in C#
Posted by Steven Jeuris in .NET, Expression Trees, Generics, Software Design on November 22, 2014
There is no doubt about it; out of all the programming languages I ever experimented with, C# has offered me the most streamlined positive development experience so far. It is a modern, ever-evolving language, which now that C# and the whole .NET framework is turning to open source, is guaranteed an even greater future. However, some core constructs commonly available in other languages, like intervals which I introduce an implementation of in this post, are missing. E.g., Ruby has had Ranges for quite some time.
Rangerepresents an interval—a set of values with a beginning and an end.
Straightforward, but due to the lack of support for generic calculations in C#, a hassle to implement. However, as introduced by Marc Gravell, with some runtime compilation trickery involving expression trees, far from out of reach. I've had an Interval<T> class within my core library for quite some time, but just now refactored it to also support more complex intervals, e.g. an interval between two DateTime instances, which thus represents a TimeSpan.
Without further ado, an example of what using this looks like in practice.
// Mockup of a GUI element and mouse position. var timeBar = new { X = 100, Width = 200 }; int mouseX = 180; // Find out which date on the time bar the mouse is positioned on, // assuming it represents whole of 2014. var timeRepresentation = new Interval<int>( timeBar.X, timeBar.X + timeBar.Width ); DateTime start = new DateTime( 2014, 1, 1 ); DateTime end = new DateTime( 2014, 12, 31 ); var thisYear = new Interval<DateTime, TimeSpan>( start, end ); DateTime hoverOver = timeRepresentation.Map( mouseX, thisYear ); // If the user clicks, zoom in to this position. double zoomLevel = 0.5; double zoomInAt = thisYear.GetPercentageFor( hoverOver ); Interval<DateTime, TimeSpan> zoomed = thisYear.Scale( zoomLevel, zoomInAt ); // Iterate over the interval, e.g. draw labels. zoomed.EveryStepOf( TimeSpan.FromDays( 1 ), d => DrawLabel( d ) );
As you might notice, the timeRepresentation interval has just one generic parameter (Interval<int>), whereas thisYear has two (Interval<DateTime, TimeSpan>). The less generic (one type parameter) class is a simple wrapper around the more generic base type which has two type parameters; the first denotes the type used to represent any position within the range, whereas the second type is used to represent differences between these positions. When these types are the same, the simplified wrapper can be used. Likewise, a TimeInterval wrapper can easily be created if you find Interval<DateTime, TimeSpan> to be too verbose.
Worth noting here to understand how it works under the covers is the constructor which sets two public static fields used during operations when conversions to double are needed. Arguably, this could be improved by having a factory creating the intervals and using constructor injection instead.
public TimeInterval( DateTime start, bool isStartIncluded, DateTime end, bool isEndIncluded ) : base( start, isStartIncluded, end, isEndIncluded ) { ConvertDoubleToSize = d => new TimeSpan( (long)Math.Round( d ) ); ConvertSizeToDouble = s => s.Ticks; }
Once you start incorporating the notion of an interval in your programming arsenal you will be amazed by the opportunities which present themselves where to use them! Some actual examples within my core library:
- A generic binary search algorithm.
- Generic interpolation classes, which I wrote about before.
- Common mapping of values from one range to another range, e.g. in GUI libraries, mapping pixels to percentages.
- Coercing values to a certain range.
To get an impression of the full range of currently supported operations, check out the unit tests.

PA Terrorists Murder Jew in Jordan Valley
Palestinian Authority terrorists murdered their third victim in a month shortly after midnight Thursday in a cold-blooded attack on a retired IDF officer in his home in the Jordan Valley between Beit She'an and Jericho.
His girl friend escaped from the attackers after being lightly wounded and is being treated in the hospital in Afula, located between Beit She'an and Tel Aviv. The couple was described as being in their 50s.
The infiltrators reportedly broke into their house and beat the man to death with metal bars. The bleeding woman escaped with her life, ran to the nearby highway and flagged down a motorist.
The terrorists fled, and soldiers are combing the area. Authorities said they are investigating the possibility that there were criminal motives behind the murder.
The latest attack comes at the same time the Palestinian Authority has raised complaints that the direct talks with Israeli negotiators are not moving and that an announcement of the construction of more homes for Jews in Pisgat Ze'ev, in northern Jerusalem, may force an end to talks.
Last month, Palestinian Authority terrorists murdered two soldiers in two separate incidents. A PA Arab without a work permit kidnapped a soldier who worked with him in a Tel Aviv restaurant and threw him into a pit, murdering him. The IDF has arrested him.
In Hevron, a terrorist still is at large after shooting to death a soldier.
Last Saturday night, a PA terrorist infiltrated into the Jewish community of Psagot, north of Jerusalem, and wounded a nine-year girl as she was playing on her porch.Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu

IN THE WAKE of a fire that engulfed a vacant East Kensington factory and left two firefighters dead this month, City Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez is adding teeth to legislation that would get tough on vacant-property maintenance.
Council's Committee on Licenses and Inspections will hold a hearing Friday on a bill, sponsored by Quinones-Sanchez, that would require large vacant commercial and industrial properties and foreclosed vacant residential properties to be sealed with commercial-quality, rustproof steel security panels or doors to keep trespassers out. There are 40,000 vacant properties in the city.
"This is about raising the standard so that we can get a handle on our large vacancies," Quinones-Sanchez said.

WASHINGTON - Soaring energy prices pushed wholesale inflation up in 2005 by the highest amount since 1990.
Meanwhile, retail sales rose by a moderate 0.7 percent in December with almost all of the strength coming from higher car sales.
The Labor Department reported that wholesale prices rose by a bigger-than-expected 0.9 percent in December, closing out a year when wholesale prices rose by 5.4 percent, the biggest advance since a 5.7 percent jump in 1990.
However, core inflation, which excludes energy and food, was much better behaved, rising by a tiny 0.1 percent in December and just 1.7 percent for the entire year, even better than the 2.3 percent increase in core prices in 2004.
Energy prices shot up 3.1 percent as gasoline prices skyrocketed by 12.3 percent last month.
That was close to the 12.7 percent surge in September, when widespread production shutdowns at Gulf Coast refineries saw gasoline rise briefly above $3 per gallon.
While the tame core inflation number showed surging energy has not translated into higher overall prices, analysts said it will keep the Federal Reserve on guard and will likely translate into two more quarter-point rate hikes at the Fed's Jan. 31 and March 28 meetings.
"This alerts us to the fact that we still have to deal with the issue of a possible spillover of high energy prices into core inflation," said Lyle Gramley, a former Fed governor. "It hasn't happened yet, but there is a potential problem."
Analysts said that the weaker-than-expected increase in retail sales last month provided evidence that the economy is slowing, which should help dampen future inflation.
Many economists think overall growth in the final three months of 2005 slowed to a rate of 3 percent or less, compared to the 4.1 percent growth in the third quarter of last year, as debt-burdened consumers cut back on spending.

I have been trying to sell my wedding dress for 18 months. Finally had success through I Do Gowns. The notification from the site was comforting and that I felt it could be trusted....and was proven right!
Fiona (August 29th 2016)
I decided to share this story as it is worthy of note. I was married in August 2014 and after about 4 months decided to put my dress and accessories onto the I DO Gowns website. Not for the money, simply in the hope that I could bring joy to someone who may not be as fortunate to be able to afford a special dress for their own Wedding Day. I had no expectations and then suddenly the joy came a couple of days ago, when out of the blue this wonderful lady made contact. From the broken English in the email message, I figured her first language was not English,nonetheless with no questions asked she was overjoyed to have found what she described was her best dress". She paid immediately and within an hour I had packed up the dress and pondered over it for a short time remembering how much joy the dress had brought me on my special day. Now it was off to bring pleasure to another Wedding Day which was happiness in itself. The following day a follow up text came from the lady. Her joy at receiving the package and trying on the dress to find it fitted her perfectly was so very special. Her text read "because of you I have my best dress, size also perfect for me". This is just one of many stories however what a wonderful way to bring joy to someone else's special day. The personal reward is invaluable.
Congratulations to the innovation behind this incredible website, I highly recommend it.
Jacquelyn (February 18th, 2016)
Thanks I Do Gowns! After a lot of genuine interest and great exposure, my dress sold!!! It took 12 months but given its a preloved wedding dress, that's understandable! Patience and persistence paid off!! Thanks so much!!!!
Amanda (July 23rd, 2015)
I have a good experience with Idogowns.com.au. It was quick,simple and cheap to post my dress and the enquiries started coming in almost immediately.
I sold my dress sooner than I thought. I love the feeling of knowing someone who really loves my dress will be giving it a second day in the limelight!

Andrew Almendarez, Photographic Artist, 2013 Dusty "Pickster" Hickman, DJ, 2013My first introduction to Charles Anthony Darr was hardly an introduction at all, but consisted of spotting him around my neighborhood, walking his dog and aiming a point and shoot at random objects. It wouldn't be until many months later that I'd come across his work and appreciate his photographs. Until then, I only got the sense that he was doing something-- something that amounted to more than just a leisurely walk. When I spoke to him about his portrait series, he explained it to me in beautifully simple terms. It's a series of people who do things, much like himself. The subjects are all artists of some medium and confront the perception that people "don't do anything" or that "nothing happens here" in Tempe/Phoenix. Proving this perception wrong is one of the motivating goals for Phoenix Taco, so I'm glad to share this work from Charles, who like the figures in his series, "just keeps doing it, because that's what artists do. "
"As an artist, you always have to return to your work. Everything else comes and goes. You can't fully give yourself to anything else. It may seem selfish, but it's not. Your work is bigger than you, " Jesse Rieser explained to me. There seems to be a notion that the local creative scene only serves as a launchpad for artists. You either take off from here and make it elsewhere, or you crash and [cream female viagra vigorelle] burn. As one of few local natives, I have witnessed this atone-less climate melt the wings from more than one Icarus. "What are you still doing around here, Charles? Aren't you getting kinda old?" some early-twenties, already-a-burnout asked me a while ago. My initial response was laughter. Where would I want to go? I am getting by financially with enough free time from work to hang out, have drinks with my friends, goof off, and enjoy this city's surplus of beautiful women. "You wish I'd leave, " I thought, "must suck watching me live your dream. " This interaction crossed my mind a couple days later and struck me in a much less humorous way. What the hell am I doing living a twenty-something burnout's dream? Have I given up faith that I'm here to do more? Have I fallen so far that I'm now resonating with the flat-liners? What has taken over my dreams? Embarrassing. On the other hand, a slight shift in perspective made me realize what a beneficial circumstance I find myself in. Yep. I'm still here. Cream female viagra vigorelle but i'm still doing it, and i'm not the only one. Being born and raised in Maryvale and only making it as far away as Tempe, I have spent my whole life in the Phoenix area, and I've made lots of connections. My life has been blessed with genuinely interesting and gifted people. What a great opportunity I have to photograph these individuals who are here in the Valley, amongst the flat-liners, in the hellacious heat that is unforgiving of wax wings cream female viagra vigorelle, and who don't care. They just keep doing it, because that's what artists do. Charles Anthony DarrYou can view more from Charles

All Points sets another record sales amount
Bottom line profit for All Points Cooperative, bolstered by $236,060,675 in sales, totalled nearly $7.6 million in 2012.
That figure tops almost $7.5 million in 2011.
Because of increased business by patrons and customers buying products from the agricultural cooperative, general manager Ed Foster said All Points set another sales record.
Revenue for 2012 was $28,757,641.
Because of the cooperative's success, Foster said patronage refunds will total $4,457,040 with 50% of that amount ($2,228,520) paid in cash.
Patronage is end-of-the-year earnings divided into petroleum, fertilizer and grain that is returned to buyers, in both cash and equity, of All Points goods.
Despite two elevator explosions in the past five years, assets have grown.
At the year's end, according to Brandon Stevenson of Stevenson & Associates in Lincoln, the cooperative had $95,954,153 in assets compared to $88,291,278 in 2011 for an increase of 8.6%.
In 2010, when the second explosion occurred, assets totalled $84,739,939.
Bushels marketed topped out at 15,337,763 last year which was slightly lower than in 2011 when 16,492,448 bushels of grain were marketed.
But the amount was much higher than the 2010 number of 14,426,361 bushels.
Past year highlights, Foster noted, were additions to the cooperative's dry fertilizer facilities which increase speed and space.
Foster said $6,351,763 was spent on fixed assets, for facilities and on rolling stock.

Let's take a final look at the injury reports in the AFC East and what it means for Sunday's games:
Miami Dolphins (4-4)
The Dolphins are looking healthy heading into Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. The only real question entering the week was the status of starting cornerback Richard Marshall, who has been out with a back injury. But Miami decided to shut Marshall down and put him on injured reserve. Backup defensive lineman Tony McDaniel (knee) missed practice on Thursday and is listed as questionable. He missed last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Players like defensive tackle Paul Soliai (ankle), center Mike Pouncey (knee) and linebacker Karlos Dansby (bicep) are all expected to play. The Dolphins must be careful with injuries on Sunday because they have a quick turnaround to face the Bills on Thursday.
Buffalo Bills (3-5)
Starting defensive tackle Chris Kelsay hurt his neck in practice this week and is listed as questionable. He joins guard Kraig Urbik (foot), defensive tackle Kyle Williams (foot) and receiver Steve Johnson (thigh) among the questionable players. Johnson did tell reporters this week he would play Sunday against the Patriots. Starting Buffalo corner Aaron Williams (knee) will not play and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Similar to Miami, the Bills must be careful with injuries because they play on a short week.
New England Patriots (5-3)
The Patriots had two weeks to rest and prepare for the Bills. Still, New England kept up with its trend of making a lot of players "questionable," when there is a good chance most will play. Among the 14 questionable players are receiver Wes Welker (ankle), guard Logan Mankins (hip) and tight ends Rob Gronkowski (hip) and Aaron Hernandez (ankle). It would be a surprise if any of these star players aren't ready for Buffalo coming off the bye.
New York Jets (3-5)
The Jets will be without running back Joe McKnight (ankle) and defensive lineman Kenrick Ellis (knee) against the Seattle Seahawks. New York head coach Rex Ryan said both players are not quite ready but could return next week. Linebacker Bart Scott (toe), guard Brandon Moore, center Nick Mangold and linebacker Sione Pouha are among the starters who are questionable. Scott would be the biggest question mark of the group.
