Silverlight Cream for October 31, 2008 -- #415

In this issue: Jeff Wilcox, Jordan Knight, Justin Angel, Imran Shaik, Corey Schuman, Jeff Paries, and Jafar Husain.

I stopped at these 9 entries for now just to get them out. I've got 9 queued up behind these and that's just from me running my big list-o-blogs about 10:30 last night and what's been submitted since! ... a very prolific bunch you are :)

From SilverlightCream.com:
AutoCompleteBox: The 5 things you need to know
Jeff Wilcox has a trilogy about the AutoComplete box. This first is exactly what it says: 5 things you need to know. He followed that up immediately with AutoCompleteBox: Video introduction, and then this one Introducing the AutoCompleteBox with lashup to a webservice
Reduce your XAP size in seconds
Jordan Knight discusses squeezing more space out of your XAP.
Silverlight Toolkit: DockPanel
In addition to posting to the Insiders group, and keeping up with blogs (I've seen comments from him on some I scan), he also still finds time to blog himself! -- this one is a deep dive on the DockPanel... good stuff, Justin!
Developing Custom Controls in Silverlight 2
Imran Shaik provides a very nice tutorial on Developing Custom Controls... good detail, Imran -- thanks!
Silverlight and the object tag
Corey Schuman digs into the Object Tag and provides us all with a complete reference for all the parameters.
Microsoft “Oslo” site - modelsremixed.com
Dang... I think I want to be Jeff Paries when I grow up :) ... in addition to all the animation stuff he does ... he gets to work with the coolest stuff during the day ... such as this site about Oslo... looks great, Jeff!
ImplicitStyleManager: Under the Hood
When Jafar Husain says he's going 'under the hood' with ImplicitStyleManager... take him for his word ... this is what it does, not how to use it! ... but all great info for those of you that always have to go that one step farther :)

Phoenix Silverlight User's Group Meeting 11/5/08



Please join me at Interface Technical Training at Central and Thomas in downtown Phoenix next Wednesday, November 5th at 6pm for our next regularly scheduled Phoenix Silverlight User's Group Meeting.

Joel Neubeck of Terralever is going to be speaking to us on his rating control and "demonstrate how to use vsm, control templates, depedency properties, etc."

This should be a great presentation!

As a warm-up to Joel's material, check out his article on the Microsoft Expression newsletter site: Article Series: Developing a Casual Game with Silverlight 2.

See you there... and if you get there early, save me a seat!
