Microsoft: Our strategy with Silverlight has shifted At Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference (PDC) this week, the future of Silverlight is one topic that has gotten short shrift.

There is a great article about Data Access in Silverlight by Shawn Wildermuth came out yesterday. The basic story of how Data Services works is that it takes a context object from a LINQ provider and exposes all the IQueryable endpoints as REST resources that can be queried. This works well in creating a place to execute queries and post/put/delete changes. The Silverlight (and .NET) client library allows you to just issue LINQ queries to the data service.

We should write code that others will use in other projects you'll find yourself maximizing the reuse and writing better code. We should avoid putting the same code in more than one place. Share your code. Split the code into separate (DLL) projects and separate them along technology lines. For example, a root ......

Technorati Tags: Silverlight Why Silverlight is the future This article was written by Rockford Lhotka several month ago. But, all the concepts are still relevant to day.

They like the idea that it works across Windows versions without worrying that Microsoft will fix some Windows thing and break their app. Silverlight gives the option ......

The StartPrint/EndPrint events are called before and after and are mostly used for setup/teardown of print elements. The Print method starts the print process and asks the user to specify a printer.
