That cemetery is about 20 minutes from our home in Budapest. I could get you a personalised photo of 'Mum' holding some sort of Codeproject memorabilia when we go back for Easter. Now if only I had something from Planet Bob, maybe a laptop sleeve or something...

No further comment, really. Been farting around with some xaml for most of the day just to get a few controls lined up, and still not succeeded.

Now my machine blew up (ran out of memory) presumably because VS2010 is crap too.

Oh for a lawn mowing job!

Hand code it (don't use the designer, it makes messy xaml) and get familiar with the different layout containers (Grid, StackPanel, etc) as well as how margin and padding work. Initially it's a pain, but I wouldn't want to go back to winforms.

I am hand coding it = not because the designer makes messy CAML buyt because the designer doesn't handle complex Xaml at all, crashing, freezing and not displaying things anything like they will look at runtime.

(I know that this is get-aroundable by having design-time VMs which I would love to do, but I'm stuck in a system that doesn't and have to live with existing screeds of Xaml cobbled together by 15 developers over several years.

Margin and padding are the least of my problems.I'm reasonably fine with simple xaml, but when there are user controls within user controls in grids in panels in grids in viewboxes in ... well, you get the picture..,

Kaxaml[^] is great for playing around with layouts.

I had a brief moment of hope, then. Then I downloaded it, opened some Xaml I've been playing with for the last 7 hours, and it failed to open with an error on line 1...
