  • Displayport & AMD Radeon with latest Catalyst drivers

    Thanks AMD! The DisplayPort issue is fixed and no longer re-arranging windows across my monitors when I lock my screen! It seems as though my PersistentWindows utility is no longer necessary for ATI cards. I’ve just validated it on multiple machines and life is returning to normal with DisplayPort! Looking at the feedback from the…

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.7 released – NotifyIcon mingling with WPF

    Recently, I’ve been distracted from my pet projects due to various life events and also Diablo 3 – Season 2. While I still haven’t been able to get new Random Coding or Top Coding content out, I did find a convenient survey plug-in for Word Press to get some feedback on Persistent Windows. Based on…

  • ** Update ** EntityFramework detecting complex type with database first

    Originally, I posted a question on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21630431/entityframework-detecting-complex-type-with-database-first While we’re still not using complex types, we’ve worked out a mechanism to preventing our developers from breaking the autogenerated models when re-generating from the DB. We’ve altered the T4 template generated by EF. First we’ve created a method in the CodeStringGenerator class public string BaseClassAndInterfaces(EntityType entity)…

  • PersistentWindows 1.0.5 and other updates!

  • PersistentWindows 1.0.4 – Apologies!

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.3 & CodePlex

    So I’ve updated yet another version of the PersistentWindows app, but this update is literally nothing but better logging, so that I can figure out what’s going on in various instances. I would love the logging output to help isolate the root cause and then I could move on to the convenience features. Also, I’ve…

  • Persistent Windows 1.0.2

    Made a few changes that you can find in the release notes. What’s pretty awesome is that I posted this app as a solution in StackExchange’s Super user and it was well received by the OP. Enough, in fact where not only did he mark it as a solution, he also wanted to contribute in resolving the…

  • PersistentWindows 1.0.1 released

    So I’ve been using the utility at work and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. I’ve noticed a few issues Occasional race conditions occur when the monitor changes so I’ve improve the logic on resolution detection. I’ve also modified the little GUI to provide a bit more informative feedback. Improved the handler on maximized windows Finally,…

  • Persistent Windows 1.0 Released

    It is lean and nasty…. but it does the job. I’ve already got a few ideas to make it more convenient, but Diablo 3 calls my name. Check it out @ http://www.ninjacrab.com/persistent-windows/… Read the rest

  • Dealing with DisplayPort plug and play

    So, I’m having an issue at work with my display setup. I have three monitors connected to my workstation, two via DisplayPort and one via DVI. Every time the monitors go to sleep it does the following: Windows gets a signal that the monitor has been disconnected Windows then re-arranges the windows that I had…
