Silverlight Cream for July 04, 2008 -- #317

Michael Washington on prompting for install, Peter McGrattan updated his Stock List Demo, Joel Neubeck on Timeline Markers, Alex Knight DeepZooming, David Anson on LayoutTransoform, and Tim Heuer on Silverlight.js & FF3.

Christopher Bennage has an interesting WPF article on TemplateBinding that if not directly related to SL, it's close.

A couple days ago I referenced the Silverlight 2 RefCard from DZone, and since then have gotten a copy of the PDF file... this is very nicely done... it has an amazingly large amount of material in a small space. Kudos to the author, Chad Campbell, and to DZone.com for making it available, and thanks to DZone for the PDF file!

DevExpress has released Beta 1 of their AgDataGrid Suite for Silverlight 2. Note this is Beta, but they're offering it up for free, so take a look at their video demos and you'll want to download it just like I did :)

And one more item... the Silverlight Control Builder Contest '08 ... if you haven't looked at the list of prizes lately, go do so... it has been growing almost daily... any of the three winners is going to walk away with an amazing amount of swag... so I hope everyone is hard at work on their entry!

From SilverlightCream.com:
Prompting the user to install the correct version of Silverlight (MinimumVersion="2.0")
Michael Washington works through the issues surrounding getting your user to install the proper version of Silverlight... this came about in the context of his Silverlight Desktop and if you haven't seen that... go do so!
Stock List Demo Optimised
Peter McGrattan has not only updated his Stock List demo, but has optimised it as well... this has lots of cool features embedded in it, and is a good resource for how to do something similar... and all the code's there!
Asynchronous loading of TimelineMarkers for Silverlight Video Player
Joel Neubeck tackles Asynchronous loading of Timeline Markers for the Video Player he and Tim Heuer recently posted on CodePlex.
Deep Zooming EVERYTHING!
Alex Knight is, as he says "Deep Zooming EVERYTHING!" ... and I really like the out-of-the-box thinking... I've demoed both of his latest to people just as examples of using Deep Zoom. I also really REALLY like the way Alex has SL pages for all his demos... nice touches of subtle animations... good job!
LayoutTransform functionality updated and enhanced for Silverlight 2 Beta 2!
David Anson brings his LayoutTransform into the B2 world, and provides all the source for doing so, plus pictures and explanation.
Updating Silverlight.js and Firefox 3
Tim Heuer takes a definitive shot at how to update your Silverlight.js detection, and why you should, what it means, and what's the deal with FF3?

Stay in the 'Light!
