So, currently I’m exploring Windows Phone Control Library, which I gather is used for creating your own WP controls libraries. That’s nifty!

What I’m playing with right now is implementation of custom events for my home brewed control, which is maybe pretty basic for a lot of WP developers out there and in some parts basic for me too, but I’m in many ways “new” to Windows Phone and C# (i.e. I haven’t done loads of daily projects with it…) and as an exercise for my self, I like to run through the basics now and then just to correct conceptual errors and make it stick in the back of my head. (hence the meaning of exercise… the brain needs exercising too!)

So the plan is to:

1. Develop a custom control that contains “something”, be it an image, button or what ever.
2. Add custom events like “onCreated”, “onLoad”, “onFocus”, “onBlur” and things like that. (maybe play around with timed events..)
3. Use this component in another App and attach to those events.
4. See what happens…

Why? Because I GOT TO!

So, let’s give this another try shall we?

I’ll use this blog mostly to collect useful bits of code and thoughts that I explore and learn on a day to day basis. Why? Well, let’s just see it as an experiment to see if it helps me remember code better if I write it down.

And maybe, just maybe! Who ever visit the blog find something useful in here too! That would be a treat now wouldn’t it?

Sometimes I might share ideas and insights that for some is completely obvious and for some a total revelation! so here goes!
