From
SilverlightCream.com:
- Silverlight 2 Post Beta2 Gotcha - Layout Cycle Detected
- Jeff Handley sent me a couple links and I inserted his blog into SC. He's started posting some "Gotchas" ... and he should know, considering where he works :) .. this first one is an error you may see "Layout Cycle Detected" .. HUH?
- Silverlight 2 Post Beta2 Gotcha - ContentPresenter
- Another post from Jeff's Gotcha series, this one about the base class changes to the ContentPresenter.
- Silverlight RC0 Debugging Tip – Check your VSM Styles
- Pete Brown gave me a heads-up yesterday that he's going to fill SC with posts after the RC0 hit, and he's trying :) ... here's a good debug hint if you're having trouble.
- More on the Final Silverlight 2 Release Date
- Another post from Pete discussing his thoughts and inferences on the RTM
- A much cleaner Game Loop in Silverlight 2 RC0
- Bill Reiss blogged about a better way to do a game loop using the new RC0 bits, and I can get to silverlightrocks from here :)
- Silverlight Color Picker
- Matthias Shapiro sent me a link to his blog, and I immediately added it to SC... check out his work folks... here's a designer blogging all the Expression Blend love you want! This Color Picker is very cool and can be put on your page, no code, but based on his other posts I think he will.
- Create a Zooming Button Style In Silverlight Without Code
- I'm going to gradually pull in all of Matthias' work... this is the next one back, and is VERY cool... he took Mike Snow's idea of a Zooming toolbar, and he did a no-code solution... gotta learn the stuff he's showing!

- Kirupa & the Expression Blend Team announced an SP1 for Expression Blend that goes with the RC0 of last night ... wow... people have been BUSY

- Jeff Wilcox talks about the RC0 release of last night, changes, how it affects UnitTest, and check out what he says about the controls to be released with the RTM version... I'm just sayin'...
- Silverlight vs Flash: Resilience Rectangle
- Terence Tsang posted this today, and is a very nice rubber-band-like rectangle... put this on your app and provide your users with hours of fun trying to resize :)
- Flash vs Silverlight: Grid Transition Rotator
- An older post from Terance before I refreshed is this one with a Grid Transition Rotator which is a very smooth transition... I can see me using this one.
- Rotating images
- Gerard Leblanc has an awesome image rotator on his site... the demo gives you that block-rotate look.. very cool!
Stay in the 'Light!
