In this issue: Chad Campbell, Jonas Follesø, and Bill Reiss.
This is more of the early posters about yesterday's release of the Silverlight Toolkit. These are my 'home boys' ... sites I can't get to from work, so I have to do them from home :) These are ready to post so they're going even though I have more.
In an email from a PM on the Toolkit team, I received a list of 24 links. I felt pretty good, because including this post, I'd already blogged about 14 of them and of the remaining 10, 5 are from team members whose blogs I haven't been watching (until now)... all good great stuff... and it means you know I have more coming later on today.
In case you're not familiar with them, there are a few ways to get directly to this information:
- SilverlightCream.com -- take the Search link on the left, and SilverlightToolkit is one of the tags
- WynApse.com -- I tag tons of stuff at my main site, and you can get directly to them by tag such as Silverlight Toolkit
- My MSDN Social Bookmarks -- I have lots of tags and one is Silverlight Toolkit
From
SilverlightCream.com:
- Silverlight 2 - Introducing the Chart Control
- Chad Campbell is out of hiding now that his book is off his plate and on the shelves... so this is probably just the beginning of the goodness from him: Chad displays the chart in demos and descriptions with links out to downloads of the code behind the samples
- Silverlight 2 - Getting Started with the Chart Control
- In Chad's next one, he has links to download everything needed and a great tutorial on exactly what to do to get the chart working in your app.
- Change the look of your Silverlight application using Themes
- Jonas Follesø posted 3 articles since I looked yesterday... this first one discusses themes in SL and specifically covers the ImplicitStyleManager that is part of the Toolkit release.
- New layout controls in the Silverlight Toolkit
- In the second post, Jonas gives a good code and screenshot walkthrough of the DockPanel, WrapPanel, and ViewBox
- Improve your user experience using the AutoCompleteBox
- Rounding out the trio, Jonas not only demos the AutoCompleteBox, but he styles it into his Dive Log application.
- Viewbox in the Silverlight Toolkit
- Last but not least of the morning's info is Bill Reiss discussing the ViewBox ... with some great examples of when and why it's useful.
Stay in the 'Light!
