These days I read more Markdown than code. AI coding agents produce plans, specs and reports, and those files run to hundreds of lines.

Available on the VS Code Marketplace.

In a list of checkbox, it’s convenient to have a Select all option at the top. But this option is not as simple as it seems. Let’s walk through the ideas, and the logic behind it.
This is part 2 of post “XAML for beginner”. In this part, I will introduce the list control: ListBox, GridView. Also included a super short introduction to MVVM and data binding in XAML.
A few years back, Microsoft was betting on Windows Phone. Could you guess which language they use to develop apps for these shiny new phones? It’s XAML.
In this post, I will introduce the most basic concept of XAML layout, as well as how to use them in your personal project.
