  • Property change notifications for multithreaded Silverlight applications

    Tags: INotifyPropertyChanged , Notifications , Jeff Wilcox
    Jeff Wilcox introduces a base class for dealing with INotifyPropertyChanged classes that is safe to use from background threads in Silverlight.

    As I’ve been developing more complex Silverlight business applications, I’ve been increasingly relying on BackgroundWorker to offload complex calculations and operations to the background thread.

    Something I didn’t have to worry about in the typical user interface thread-only implementation of my app was which thread change notifications fire on.

    In this post of Corey Schuman you will learn some interesting facts around one of the new additions to Silverlight 4 - the NotificationWindow.Image

    This type of window enables you to show a System notification much like when you receive an Outlook new mail notification or a Growl notification in OSX. Since it operates like a system message, this feature is only available in Out of Browser (OOB) scenarios.

    This example shows how to instantiate a NotificationWindow, with the resulting application like the below screenshot.

    In this post Tim Heuer explains what is "toast" and gives examples of “toast” notifications.

    Aside from a delicious breakfast treat, it’s a term that most people refer to those little notification windows that popup from applications in the Windows system tray.  Sometimes annoying, mostly useful (depending on how many notifications you get of course).
