Silverlight Cream for July 17 - 2 -- #328

Tamir Khason on bidirectional support, Page Brooks with a Save File Dialog, Mike Snow on Increasing Isolated Storage, Dave Relyea with an Animatable WrapPanel, and Karen Corby using Dave Relyea's WrapPanel.

Adam Kinney has a blog post on the Yosemite DeepZoom project being live and has some great pictures. I've not successfully opened the page, but maybe they're getting hammered because the video they had up last week was awesome... wait it out and keep checking... it'll be worth it... there's currently 45 GigaPixels in the current image!

From SilverlightCream.com:
Arabic and Hebrew languages bidirectional support for Silverlight 2.0 beta 2
Tamir Khason is working with Arabic and Hebrew and is asking for opinions and other comments... check out what he's doing... let him know how good a job it is!
Save File Dialog in Silverlight
Page Brooks put together a blog post about a File Save dialog in SL in response to a query in the forums... cool ideas to expand upon I think!... just the kind of posts I like :)
Tip of the Day #20 – How to Increase the Isolated Storage Quota for your App.
Mike Snow continues his Isolated Storage posts with this one about increasing the storage.
Layout Transitions - An Animatable WrapPanel
Dave Relyea produced a very nice 'Animatable' WrapPanel ... you gotta see this... very cool... oh... grab the source while you're there! and see the next post.
FlickrViewr Using DevDave’s AnimatingWrapPanel
Filed under "when do people find the time...", Karen Corby reacted to Dave Relyea's post and updated her FlickrViewr again, using Dave's Animatable WrapPanel ... how cool is that??

Silverlight Cream for July 17, 2008 -- #327

Denislav Savkov on VSM, Mino with a SL PhotoGallery, Alex Golesh on app performance, Avi Pilosof with "War on Terrier", Michael Schwarz reports SL2B2 update, Alex Knight on VSM, Peter McGrattan on initialization via SL server control, Lee on DataGrids and ListBoxes, and David Anson on shrinking XAPs.

Open notice to Tim Heuer, Brad Abrams, and Karen Corby just to name a few ... you should send email to xclusivesalman at yahoo dot com (Mashook Talpur - 26-167 cantt bazar, Karachi Sind, Pakistan) because he's directly stealing your work on silverlightarticles dot com ... aggregators please pay attention to who is getting credit on your site!
From SilverlightCream.com:
Custom ContentControl using VisualStateManager
Denislav Savkov has a great tutorial on creating a control using VSM and Parts/States ... anyone not yet working on something for the ControlBuilder Contest... pay attention and read this!
Silverlight PhotoGallery
Mino has a xap that you can use directly to put a PhotoGallery on your site ... with sample xml file for the pictures, and instructions for modifying to use your pictures.
Silverlight application performance - refresh rate & CPU usage
Alex Golesh has another blog post up, this one on performance and refresh rate in SL apps. He has some good examples and tips on how to improve things...
[The Global] War On Terrier
Avi Pilosof posted to me, and I've added him to the list of bloggers. The first one from him is a game that if you're not interested in the game, hey... he's providing all the code, guys!! ... plus he's got a bunch of other goodness on his site that I'll try to catch up with, but you can go look at as well!
Silverlight 2 Beta 2 Update - kb955011
When I saw this the first time this morning, I thought it was a post from Scott Guthrie, but it was Michael Schwarz blogging about a SL2B2 update ... good to see that, Michael, and everyone should read the info and check out the links he provided.
Visual State Manager - How to:
Alex Knight has a VSM "How To" post on his blog... he's got some Blend screenshots, and discussion is centered around a very nice demo that seems to be Alex' trademark... good info and great demo!
Silverlight Initialization via the ASP.NET Silverlight Server Control
I thought I'd posted this one from Peter McGrattan, but alas, I had not... Peter has a discussion of what the heck gets added to your page when the server control kicks in ... definitely things you want to be aware of.
Customizing ListBoxItem template in ListBox
This post from Lee is another I thought I'd already posted. He's out there splashing around in VSM and changing the LisBoxItem template... very cool!
VerticalAlignment of header in DataGrid
In the latest post from Lee, he figures out a (long) way to align header info with the bottom of the header... lots of code... but good!
A simple step to shrink the download size of Silverlight 2 applications
David Anson took a hard look at the xap, and thought he could do a better job of compression. Not only has he, but he's provided a way for all of us to do so as well! ... can you say 22% savings??
