On this page you will find an overview of all articles that I have written since 1997. The more recent articles deal with software development with .NET (C#, Visual Studio, LINQ, WPF, Silverlight, WCF RIA Services, ...) in particular. The older articles were often written for the purposes of courses or demonstrations at my computerclub and these articles are mostly about photo editing, databases, Windows, Office, Delphi and PHP.

.NET - Sharing source code between .NET and Silverlight

A common problem when developing Silverlight applications is how to share classes and in particular (Entity Framework) entities which are compiled for the full .NET framework in a Silverlight application. Silverlight is a browser plugin and a subset of the full .NET framework. Therefore Visual Studio does not allow referencing .NET assemblies from your Silverlight application. In this article I will demonstrate a very simple technique to share source code and it will give several real world examples and some handy tips.
