Avoiding WPF Image Control Local File Locking
April 28, 2025 - Maui, Hawaii
WPF locks local images when referenced via a Source attribute. In this post I discuss why this might be a problem and how you can work around it using native XAML and custom binding converter that provides a consolidated approach that includes image caching for better performance of reused images.
The Strong ARM of .NET: Wrestling with x64 and Arm64 Desktop App Deployment
1 comment
April 18, 2025 - Maui, Hawaii
.NET works great for cross-platform development making it easy to build apps that are cross-platform and cross-architecture specifically for x64 and Arm64. However, building a distributable application that can install and run out of box on both of these platforms, that's a bit more effort. In this post I discuss some of the gotchas and how to work around them to distribute apps that run out of the gate on both platforms.
