Rob Relyea - Xamlified

On his WPF WTFs blog, Jerry looks like he has been very busy in his 5 months of blogging about WPF.  Several things caught my eye:

• "Embedding PNGs into RTF files" in order to implement drag/drop from a WPF app to Word/Outlook.
• I just got the question from a major software company about Virtualizing WrapPanel...looks like Jerry did that too: "Making a Virtualizing WrapPanel".  (no code, but he helps explain more about how to do it...)
• He lists his favorite WPF Utilities (Snoop, Mole, WPF Perf, Reflector, Pistachio).

The one I just learned about @ Mix is Pistachio (by Grant Hinkson) helps you track used/unused resources in your app.  This is when I was talking at the same time with Robby (KaXaml), Grant (Pistachio), and Karl (Mole)...  [Good strategy: Look for a hole in WPF tooling...fill it with a useful tool...give it a cool name...help out yourself and others]

• Lightweight Drawing with DrawingVisuals: Part 1 of 2
• Lightweight Drawing with DrawingVisuals: Part 2 of 2
• The Evils of Layered Windows
• Which hopefully he can update now that Jossef has blogged about Vista Layered Windows Performance hotfix now available on Microsoft Download Center.  I think there is an XP fix as well...
