In this issue: Pedro Anuarbe Cortes, pierlag, Joseph Ghassan, Jeff Wilcox, Silverlight SDK, Jeff Prosise, Dave Burke, and Michael S. Scherotter.

Karl Shifflett reports All New XAML Power Toys Videos Published... and when he says videos... yikes, he's been busy!

Koen Zwikstra has an update to Silverlight Spy: Silverlight Spy 2.0.0.33 with some very nice upgrades.


From SilverlightCream.com:
SpecNix - ZX Spectrum Emulator
Pedro Anuarbe Cortes is the dev that sent me the very nice Tetris game last week. Now he has a ZX Spectrum emulator running in Silverlight... pretty darned addictive I think :)
Free silverlight controls and library
Pierlag sent me this link out to CodePlex, and I was impressed with the controls out there. Not sure why I haven't seen this before now, but you should definitely look at it. He has a demo here.
Silverlight 2.0 Layout Management
Joseph Ghassan takes a long look at layout management and discusses what may be best practice for laying out content of controls.
Silverlight unit testing templates updated
Jeff Wilcox reports the Silverlight 2 Unit Testing Templates are updated and then followed that post up with: Download reference docs for the Silverlight Unit Test Framework
Loaded event timing in Silverlight
The Silverlight SDK blog has an interesting discussion on the Loaded event and how you should maybe rethink how you're using it.
Cool Silverlight Trick #5
Jeff Prosise fired off a Cool Trick number 5 before taking off for PDC, and this one covers CompositionTarget.Rendering... I'll let you read that!
Silverlight 2.0 Immersivity: Datagrid to ComboBox Data Binding
Dave Burke continues his Silverlight Immersion, this time binding Comboxes inside a datagrid... I think I've only needed to do that in .NET once, and the experience sucked :)
Just added Silverlight Page banner to charette.com
Michael S. Scherotter shows how he put a Silverlight banner on his new site by using Blend.

Stay in the 'Light!
