Martin on WPF and .NET

I'm writing a "small" task management software for the team I work for. Obviously I'm using the great features of WPF and the current version of the WpfToolkit:DataGrid

The only difference from (1) to (2) is, that i scrolled maybe 5px down...

I have SnapsToDevicePixels activated for the whole application, and it looks like this has some rounding errors sometime... If you didn't see it, I'm using an DropShadowEffect the show the currently selected item, and as I wrote previously This DISABLES SnapsToDevicePixels. But interestingly I can't see a difference in text rendering in the good case...

Do you have any ideas why this happens?

Update: You can find me HERE.

I absolutely don't like the standard WPF Popup.

• It is an additional Window - bad.
• Bindings don't work - bad.
  (Especially bad if you wanted to use it for user input.)
• It's not so easy to make it appear nicely - bad.

But here comes to the rescue: The AdornerPopup

As the name suggest, it sits in the AdornerLayer and thus has some nice features... To see it in action, read on...
