SilverlightCream.com:
- CoolMenu: A Silverlight Menu Control
- Page Brooks posted a very nice menu... I'd call it a Toolbar, but in this SL2B2 create-your-own-paradigm world, it is what it is.. and it IS pretty nice looking! -- did I mention source :)
- Adding Custom Collections to your Silverlight Controls
- Going back one day, Page also has a great example of adding a Custom Collection to SL Controls.
- Calling WCF on the server of origin from Silverlight
- Bill Reiss discusses calling WCF on the same server as SL and why you may not be getting here from there and what to do to fix that.
- Tip of the Day #30: Fast Sprite Animation in Silverlight
- Mike Snow is up to 30 tips of the day, and this one is on Sprite Animation. I don't know much about game development, but I keep seeing sprites associated with it... so if that's your thing, here's some more things :)... seriously fun stuff, Mike, thanks!
- How to get a Color or a SolidColorBrush from a String (by ColorName) for Binding

- Shawn Wildermuth's students are still playing "Stump the band" with Shawn... this time they gave him a puzzle of sorts surrounding x:Subclass.
