David Anson has collected all the Charting blog links on one page... a good reference: My new home page [A collection of great Silverlight Charting resources!].
Jaime Rodriguez reports that the NY Times has a free version of it's WPF reader: NY Times ReaDER Free Edition.. ... now I just need to be someplace I can run WPF :)
From
SilverlightCream.com:
- Silverlight and WriteableBitmap
- Ian Griffiths sent me a link to this post about a Silverlight solution to the missing "WriteableBitmap" class that WPF has. He has a CodePlex project that produces bitmaps at run-time... check his post for the why then the how... very cool stuff!
- Silverlight Game Programming Tutorial - Getting Started
- Matthew Casperson is a new name (and blog) to me.. he has a Getting Started in Silverlight Game Programming Tutorial up... I'll be watching Matthew's blog for more, but all his code is out on SourceForge, so check him out!, and thanks for the submittal, Matthew.
- Building a Silverlight Line-Of-Business Application – Part 3
- Chris Anderson has posted the 3rd part of his SL LOB series. In this post, Chris concentrates on the "transfer of data between the server (a WCF service) and the client (the Silverlight application), securely and sharing common business logic where possible."
- IDV Solutions Releases SpatialWiki, a Collaborative, Cloud-Based Product
- I found this link via Mike Ormond, and then spent a bunch of time cruising around the places folks had marked ... this is very cool. I linked the Press Release, and Mike's page has lots of good info and background as well as a link to the app.
- Silverlight.FX Effects in Depth
- Nikhil Kothari has a great tutorial on his Silverlight.FX such as Attaching Effects Declaratively, Customizing Effects, Building Controls that use Effects Programmatically, and Creating a Custom Effect. I finally woke up and added a tag for Silverlight.FX ... go download it and play with it...
- Silverlite: What to do if your XAML changes do not display
- Dave Burke is starting a series of Silverlight posts he's calling "SilverLite"... I've added a tag for that if you want to single them out. In this first one he explains a simple solution to an on-going problem we all have with changing our XAML. In the second one, Silverlite: Why your AutoCompleteBox may not be working, he explains the difference in binding between a ComboBox and AutoCompleteBox. His third one, Silverlite: Why datagrid column sorting might not be working he shares the trick to getting column sorting working... great series so far Dave!
- Silverlight: dynamically finding a storyboard in the VisualStateManager
- Anna Wrochna apparently got bored with school and decided to play with Silverlight, and attacked the same subject that Page Brooks did earlier this month, only independently... then with a bit of help got the code tighter... very cool, Anna, now back to school!
- Silverlight: (and non Silverlight) PDC Podcast and Interviews
- Chris Hay and John McLoughlin interviewed a bunch of big-name folks at PDC... not sure how they got those guys trapped long enough, but they have the interviews on the web for our enjoyment...
- Obtaining and Caching a Lot of Words
- Jesse Liberty shows how to use Isolated Storage to cache that huge list-o-words he's been using to speed up his application... cool Isolated Storage example!
- ToolBox Panels
- Robby Ingebretsen came out of hiding long enough to blog a few things... I'm pretty certain he's the one that did the Wrap Panel that Karen Corby used at #MIX08 and wowed everyone... well, he's got a new one... so prepare to be wowed... and I saw his name on the presenter's list for #MIX09 under his PixelLab name.
Stay in the 'Light!
