" Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare > Severe badassery

ListBox, ScrollIntoView and ObservableCollection vs. ICollectionView "

WP7 IRC Client > dIRca

By jeremy, on February 20th, 2011

I chose a cheesy name to spoof on one of my favorite films lately, Team America: World

Police. The project likely wouldn t exist if it wasn t for the pioneering efforts of

Jeremiah Morrill on the XDA forums. I used the Homebrew project, built by daveux here. The

primary reason I chose it was a more 1:1 with the System.Net namespace to use one project

for both Windows and Windows Phone (or Silverlight or whatever until the Portable Library

Projects bake into VS 2010 SP1).

I m in the process of determining if I want to use CodePlex or BitBucket and I m really

torn. Bitbucket has awesome small features like merging usernames and a slightly better

issue tracker (2 extra fields whee) with external services support as well like being able

to track things via Google Analytics. I may just release to both initially just to see

which gets picked up or used more often but that may bite me in the ass.

As of today the app works connecting to the very first server created in the settings

factory. The very first thing I want to get done after this is use real settings stored in

isolated storage and build the UI to change it. I d like to do that before taking off the

reigns and publishing for real but I ll see how that goes.

I could try to explain the UI but screenshots would serve a better purpose of landscape

and portait mode respectively:

I m using the excellent Chillen font, one I ve dubbed the new Comic Sans so we ll see how

long that sticks. At least initially I hope to have multiple servers as pages with their

own pivot controls for channel and query messages. DCC and CTCP commands aren t supported

at all and I don t really parse channel events yet except topic changes but things are

slowly coming together now that the networking infrastructure is somewhat stable.

I am looking for testers but there s some pretty big caveats. You need developer

sideloading access to your phone, either through ChevronWP7 or normal marketplace unlock.

I do not have any clue what will happen to this codebase after NoDo hits but I believe

native support should still be possible. That puts me in a rush to try to finish something

to at least incubate as people use it and luckily I could work on a WPF/SL port reusing

almost all of the code.

I primarily posted this just to have a place to link to those screenshots for posterity

since I couldn t seem to figure out how to store local images in codeplex or bitbucket. My

n00bness is showing

Just installed it and currently setting up.

Will let you know my mileage after a few days of usage.

Thanks for releasing this!

Peace.
