<SilverlightTooltip Number="003" Text="Tooltips"/>

A discussion on the Silverlight.net forum about how to handle the tooltip canvas is one of the posts that prompted me to start a 'Tooltips' series. I'm finally working my way back around to that one!

Keeping a canvas set aside just for tooltips has worked good for me, and I talk about it just a bit on this page.

Silverlight Cream for October 18, 2007 - Part 2 -- #108

Busy Day in Silverlight -- This is Part 2: Michael Cameron of MC's Sandpit posted a must-read two-parter on Collisions in 1.1 with great demos; Jesse Liberty continues his 1.1 excursion by revisiting Drag and Drop; and while not directly Silverlight, The Expression team released Service Pack 1 for Expression Design

From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight Collision Detection
Michael Cameron of MC's Sandpit posted this really nice Collision article... great bubble demo! With Source :)
Silverlight collision while dragging
This is Michael's second part. Very reactive... I grabbed a bubble, and whacked it around for a bit and that display just kept on flying around :) ... very cool!
The Great Asynchronous Learning Experiment - Beginning 1.1 with Drag and Drop
Jesse Liberty revisits Drag and Drop, this time in Silverlight 1.1

Silverlight Cream for October 18, 2007 -- #107

Lots of articles today, so I'm posting first the ones submitted to me: One correction on Ken Dopierala's latest mousewheel article... he broke the mousewheel out separately, to make it easy to use and I blew past it...; Pete Brown has a two-part sequence on User Controls as Screens in SL 1.1; Pete also demonstrates his HitTracking code in SL 1.1; and Dan Dobbs demonstrates a very nice Combo Box with code for SL 1.0

From SilverlightCream.com and yes, I know the front page is displaying funky ... very weird. I haven't made any changes, so I think it's related to the 'volume' of data displayed. I can make the search results do that as well if I give it a big list (just noticed that this morning as well. It may just be a fallout now that there are LOTS of articles in the database. Luckily everything displays, it just isn't pretty :)
Capturing The Mouse Wheel In Silverlight by RTLogicSystems
This is the MouseWheel article by Ken that I missed the 'substance' of ... very cool how it picks up the wheel without visual clues... like my colored balls in the Color Picker demo... I like it :)
UserControls as Screens in Silverlight 1.1 - Part 1 of 2
Pete Brown of IritatedVowel got this to me, and actually got part 2 to me prior to this posting :( ... all *very* cool. I really like the demo shown of all this in part 2!
UserControls as Screens in Silverlight 1.1 - Part 2 of 2
This is Pete's Part 2 ... look at this one to find the link to the demo... then go back and start reading with Part 1 :)
Hit Tracking, Usage, and Web Analytics in Silverlight 1.1
A third article from Pete demonstrating talking back and forth to the JavaScript using Silverlight
Combo Box
Dan Dobbs has a very nice-looking Combo Box example in 1.0 with Code
