- I don't know what was going on, but I wasn't getting the updates on Peter Bromberg's work, and nobody bothered to tell me! ... this one is number IV of a series and is on Cookies and Silverlight. He also has four more: Silverlight 2 Beta 2 - Doing Data Part V: Realtime StockQuotes / Scrolling Display , Silverlight 2 Beta 2: Doing Data Part VI: A Generic Request WebService , Silverlight 2 Beta 2: Doing Data Part VII: Custom Binary Serialization , and Silverlight 2 RC0 Doing Data Part VIII : Using the Threadpool . There are also some other articles out there that I will catch up on, but this sequence is very cool, and useful!
