I once came across an app (can't remember if it was Silverlight or WPF) that showcased various features of XAML, with things like transitions, drag/drop, and a whole load of other things, which you chose from a list down the left-hand side.
I think the project had a bit of a weird name and was written by one of the XAML team at MS. I can't remember what it was called though, or where to find it. Anyone?

MVVM Light?[^]
Also, there's tonnes of sample projects under New Project => Online >= Samples >= C# => Desktop => WPF

I found it - it's called the "WPF Bag of Tricks". The app was originally at bot.codeplex.com, but this has now gone and it can instead be found here: https://github.com/thinkpixellab/bot[^]
Not sure why I thought it was something to do with Microsoft - perhaps the guys running this company were employees once.

As the blurb says:
Kevin was working at Microsoft on v1 of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). He was blogging a lot of code samples and wanted to keep them all together and ensure everything kept working as features changed and evolved as WPF moved towards shipping.

Are there any CP members from Myanmar that can recommend how to travel to Ngwe Saung?
I will be traveling with my wife and 13 year old nephew so hopping on the back of a truck, my favored way to travel when I am alone, is not an option.
I am traveling from my home in Buriram, Thailand and will most likely fly from Bangkok(BKK or DMK) to Yangon(RGN). From Yangon I would like to travel by train or air to Pathein (48km from Ngwe Saung) where I would like to arrange for a van or bus to Ngwe Saung.
I would prefer to travel by train to be able to see the countryside, unless the travel time is too long, but air is also an option. Is there a train from Yangon to Pathein?
Bus is an option and although drive time from Yangon to Ngwe Saung is estimated to be 5 hours the bus schedule indicates 8 hours which may not be so comfortable depending on the condition of the roads and the bus. I usually have to sit on the bench seat, with the monks, in the back of the bus because my legs are too long to fit comfortably in a normal seat on local buses in SE Asia.
I have found airport maps that show a domestic airport in Pathein(BSX) but can't seem to get a flight schedule to/from Yangon(RGN).
I have been reading about student demonstrations in Yangon lately. Where in Yangon are they taking place so I can avoid that area. Would it be better to fly into Naypyidaw or Mandalay (the other international airports) to avoid Yangon while these demonstrations are going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Would love to see some of that country with a backpack and hiking shoes, I know you would too!

I have wanted to travel in Myanmar for a long time but the political situation made it a bit doggy. There is some fighting in the north (Shan State) near the Chinese border,and there is always a possibility of trouble in Rakhine State, but we will be in Yangon Division and Ayeyarwady Division so it should be relatively safe.
There are student demonstrations in Yangon these days that have been getting violent so we will have to avoid them, but all in all Yangon is pretty safe. We may stay for a day or two, most likely on our return from the shore to see the city but the Bay of Bengal (Ngwe Saung Beach) is where we are heading.

I am sure Nick wouldn't mind hopping on the back of a truck with me but Pu will not have any of that.
She would prefer to go by air and the closest airport is 48km from Ngwe Saung in Pathein. The runway is unpaved gravel so you can get some idea about the remoteness of the area to where we are going.
Travel in the Ayeyarwady Delta is pretty primitive. It has been described as like going to the shore in Thailand in the 1980's before the beach resorts were built up with high rise hotels and all the night life that comes with them. It is a step back in time.

Yeah I know what you mean. My neighbor asked me one time about where I went with my backpack and I told her I was roughing it and she replied; "Motel 8". She was not the outdoorsy type, bless her heart she passed a couple of years ago just before I moved here.
Sounds like you've got a nice vacation planned out my friend just be safe and if they give you any trouble just tell em you know an old Marine that's looking for action.

Don't hear it much these days.

I'm afraid I'm like Pu, when we travelled Myanmar it was 5 star and almost a decade ago. Driving to Inlay lake was with a fairly modern mini bus so they may be available. I believe the tourist industry has exploded since then so it will probably be pretty pricey to hire a vehicle and driver.
Roads were better than India and the drivers tended to be polite. The fact that they have to drive on the wrong side of the road is bloody scary though.
