About Me

I’m a software developer working in the Twin Cities area, passionate about .NET technologies. I’m also equally passionate about projects related to family history and preservation of family photos and stories.

I work mostly in WPF and C#, but I’ve done a lot of work in Windows Forms over the past few years.  I have a long history working with SQL Server and have also dabbled with ASP.NET.  Going back a bit further, I spent many years working in both C++ and VB6 (COM/ActiveX).  I started out my programming career in the mid 1980s, programming in C and in Ada.

Other places that you can find me: Sean’s Stuff, Britannica GeekPersonal web site, Twitter, famThings.com, Family History Blog, The Lucy Show

    Well, I have to admit that presenting the information in that organized manner following topic by topic in small chunks is absolutely creative way presenting the info to other programmers. In my modest opinion, I can even grasp the concepts much faster than I do with reading a WPF book.

    Thank you :)

    Great site! Love the format!
    Can you do ones for LINQ, ASP MVC, Razor and Regular Expressions
    Just some ideas :-)

      Thanks Nikhil. All of these topics are good ideas, good candidates for a blog following the “bite-sized chunk” format. I likely won’t cover any of them in this blog, since it’s limited to WPF (and some Visual Studio stuff). I’ll eventually get to LINQ in the C# blog, though (csharp.2000things.com).

    Hello,
    i want to know if it’s possible (and know-how) using a Page-Based Navigation inside an normal WPF application. What do u think?
    For example: i have an application wpf where, on a window or usecontrol customized, there’s a button and his event that calls a pages-based navigation of 3 pages.

  10. Ludo says:
