Caliburn.Micro & Windows 10 UWP apps - AmbiguousMatchException

I continued my journey on using Caliburn.Micro in Windows 10 UWP apps. The next thing I tried was to add a device specific view. In UWP apps this can easily be done by adding a second XAML file with the same name and a device family added to it.

For example: a device specific version of ShellView.xaml can be ShellView.DeviceFamily-Mobile.xaml.

Remark: This is not the only way to specify a device specific version. More information here: http://igrali.com/2015/08/02/three-ways-to-set-specific-devicefamily-xaml-views-in-uwp/ 

However after doing that, my Caliburn application started to fail with the following exception:

AmbiguousMatchException: Ambiguous match found

It seems that I’m not the first one with this problem as an issue(and a fix) had already been created on Github: https://github.com/Caliburn-Micro/Caliburn.Micro/pull/227

Unfortunately the fix is , at the moment of writing, not yet released so you have to download the source code and compile the code yourself.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
