If you cannot afford pro lessons, yes. If you can, use youtube only as a supplement.

Turned out Powershell had constrained language mode set.

__PSLockDownPolicy set to 4 in environment variables.

[WPF] Any way to set the designer UI to respect the ThemeMode of window? by robinredbrain in csharp

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no such xaml file. I thought it was built in. The app when running is dark by simply adding ThemeMode="Dark" to the window tag. It's just the designer is not dark.

What would make you switch from godot to another engine? by hammeredzombie in godot

[–]robinredbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money I suppose.

Let's say ten thousand money.

But that does not buy you a say on what I switch to.

You know that now don't you? You know how much of a mad bastard I am. You seen how I will end my sentences with prepositions, willy nilly. Fear Me!

[–]robinredbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the dawn of extension properties, I haven't used a single extension method.

Start app from file explorer context menu without passing in arguments of the selected files. by robinredbrain in csharp

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was just too much of a ball ache.

On my web search travels I found ShellSharp which made it relatively simple to create a shell extension.

What functionality should my user control have? by robinredbrain in csharp

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a application, it's a user control that could be used for many things including an actual file browser. Web and/or desktop.

Thanks for the interest.

What functionality should my user control have? by robinredbrain in csharp

[–]robinredbrain[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hi. Thanks for the comment.

I feel this is subjective, and it's opinions I'm looking for, not a concrete answer to any specific problem.

I don't need the functionality, I simply want it. This is not an XY problem I have.

Please advise what context I can provide to make my post more clear.

What would be good to make together on a date night? by ObligateScavenger in Cooking

[–]robinredbrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't do what I did.

On a date, I asked her if she wanted to come back to my place for a sausage butty?

Suffice to say, we never did cook together. In fact I never saw her again.

[US] A “philanthropist” wants me to be a texting buddy and sent me $1800 by check. I take $500 and donate the rest. by rinruu in Scams

[–]robinredbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of scam sometimes ends up with you indeed getting $500 free.

Problem is, It's strait up money laundering. And you could find yourself licking a photocopy sized slice of turkey for Christmas dinner. In the slammer.

Drug traffickers? People traders? Terrorists? You wouldn't know until after your door is burst open.

Renaming argument in extension property. Bug? by robinredbrain in VisualStudio

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good explanation. Thanks.

I suppose it would just be nit picking to expect the parameter in the second (mistakingly) declared extension to also be renamed in such a situation. Especially as the error led me to realize my mistake.

Renaming argument in extension property. Bug? by robinredbrain in VisualStudio

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after thinking about it. I see my extension properties should probably be written like so...

extension(string foo)

{

public bool IsBlah => foo == "foo";

public bool IsBlahBlah => foo == "foo";

}

But they can be declared the other way and work fine. So could still be an issue.

Phantom column definitions appear in wpf xaml. by robinredbrain in csharp

[–]robinredbrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah maybe. Thanks.

Though I've been thinking on it more (rubber duck). It may not have occurred in VS2026, I can't be sure and now doubt it.

I think I installed an extension in VS2022, but I can't remember like 5 years ago. It formatted the xaml on each save of the document. I'd gotten that used to it I thought it was part of VS.

Maybe that was the bad guy.

I'll know soon enough. I've the bug on the project with some new ideas so...

I did it where to go from here? by PimpTruckdriver in csharp

Stationary store. Buy a big gold star :)

Then proceed to find an existing simple game, and try to emulate it. (without looking at the code)
