Silverlight Cream for May 30, 2008 -- #287

Martin Mihaylov on the MultiscalImage Control, Jose Fajardo on DeepZoom, Dan Wahlin on Beginning SL2, Wilco Bauwer on Threading and Silverlight Components, Jonas Follesø on SL2 Cross Domain Policy and YouCard Demo, Dave Campbell on SL2 Lines, Paths, and Anti-aliasing.

From SilverlightCream.com:

Using the MultiscaleImage control in Silverligth2 Beta 1: Martin sent me this link this morning... it's a follow-on to his previous, this time showing how to use the image created by the composer.
The future of Deepzoom - my take!: If you haven't seen this video by Jose from Remix, I'll wait here while you go watch it... I won't even attempt to explain what all he's doing... I couldn't begin to do it justice... awesome out-of-the-box demo my friend :)
Creating Your First Silverlight 2 App: Dan Wahlin has a new video up on Silverlight.net, and gives a lead-in on his site. He also has a list of his latest Silverlight articles archived here... good stuff
Threading in Silverlight: Found a somewhat older link to Wilco Bauwer and found some good Silverlight out there. I've added him as a blogger to SilverlightCream, and this first blog post is about SL2 Threading ...
ASP.NET/Silverlight component development: Another Wilco Bauwer article, this one on Component Development. This was from just after SL2 hit. Looks like good solid hard work to me... something I'd need to print out I think :)
Using Yahoo Pipes as a Silverlight Cross Domain Proxy: I believe I've blogged about Jonas before, but I finally added him as a blogger and have a couple of his posts here. This one is using Yahoo Pipes. He has a lot of good stuff referenced on the site and finishes with an RSS feed display... all with source!
REMIX08 YouCard Demo: A second one from Jonas, and this was from REMIX08 also... he is merging Twitter with Flickr and displaying it with Silverlight2... even if you don't want to do THAT... this is seriously good stuff... and with code!
Silverlight2 Rectangles, Paths, and Line Comparison: I finally jumped into SL2 with an article... this one a do-over of an investigation that dates back to pre-MIX '07 WPF/E, and the anti-aliasing of Lines and Paths. It's still there in SL2, so at least educate yourself!
