Silverlight Cream for October 16, 2007 -- #106

I found a couple things this weekend, but today was a very rich day for us, so there's lots to look at: Silverilght Journal from the 'Data Farm'; Jesse Warden introduces us to Scale 9 for Silverlight; Ken Dopierala continues with Scrollbars now with the MouseWheel; Delay provides us a SL paint program for the little ones; xprblog provides a very nice rotary button for WPF... now who is going to use it first in SL?; J. Michael Palermo provides us a SL video on resizing effects; Dirk Primbs gives us a look at an alternate way to view tag clouds with Silverlight; and two new intro articles, one on DotNetSlackers by Brad Vincent and the other on Code Project by Andrey Baskov... whew!


From:

All I have is an executable link (so far) on this one, and I don't know the author, but it's very nicely done!

Scale 9 in Silverlight

Jesse Warden brings 'Scale 9' to Silverlight for 1.0 and 1.1 with a great write-up and code included.

Ken Dopierala continues his scrollbar demos, this time with the mouse wheel and only working when the mouse is over the appropriate area!

Something fun for the little ones [SilverlightKidsDoodler develops mouse skills!]

Delay posts a very cool drawing program for the little ones, with source:)

Rotary custom control

Yes this is WPF, but hey so was the green glass button... I think we can use this:)

J. Michael Palermo provides another SL video... this one on resizing effects.

3D Tag Cloud II - geht das nicht anders besser?

I don't read German, but I have been playing around with some tag cloud ideas myself, so this caught my eye... I couldn't find a link to an executable, but there is a link to the code:)

Brad Vincent has a new article up on Silverlight at DotNetSlackers

Beginning Silverlight 1.1 Part 1

Andrey Baskov has a new article up on Code Project

Stay in the 'Light!

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
