In this issue: Silverlight Girl, Mehdi Slaoui Andaloussi, David Anson, Cheryl, Justin Angel, Kathy Kam, Shawn Burke, and Jafar Husain.

John Papa hada Teaser Chapter up for his book the other day and I forgot to mention it, so here it is: Free Teaser Chapter for Data Driven Services with Silverlight 2.


From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight Loader Animation
Silverlight Girl discusses her loader animation created in Blend, then turns around before I got that posted and gives up Source code for the Baby-2-Woman Silverlight Loader project on CodePlex ... that was fast!
Customizing Silverlight Toolkit Themes (PART I)
Mehdi Slaoui Andaloussi has an awesome 3-part sequence (so far) going on customizing the Toolkit themes... leaving us with projects, code and more themes! in this first part, he concentrates on the Shiny Blue theme producing 3 more. In the second part Customizing Silverlight Toolkit Themes (Part II) , he customizes the Ranier theme, and in the 3rd one Customizing Silverlight Toolkit Themes (Part III) he really opens it up with the Dark theme and discusses the use of Kuler, Jonas Follesø's Colorful Expression add-in for Expression Design and Blend and really gives way for an endless variety of themes... this is really good stuff if you're interested in themes.
HtmlTextBlock bug fix for Silverlight 2 RTW!
David Anson has updated his HTMLTextBlock code that he started back in what was it 1.1? ... very cool stuff.
WCF, HTTP, Security and Data Service topics for Silverlight
Cheryl at the Silverlight SDK posted this set of links and discussion about WCF, HTTP, and security for Silverlight.
Silverlight Toolkit: HeaderedContentControl & HeaderedItemsControl
Justin Angel is back on the Toolkit, this time with the HeaderedContentControl and HeaderedItemsControl... very much a complete tutorial... thanks Justin!
WUX 202: Building Rich Internet Applications Using Microsoft Silverlight 2
Kathy Kam provids us the deck and demo of her presentation code for the first session... good stuff
WPF and Silverlight Toolkit Compatibility
Shawn Burke has an article on the synergy between the WPF and Silverlight Toolkits. He discusses issues still on the table and suggests providing feedback to the team as well!
Auto-sizing Canvas for Silverlight and WPF
Jafar Husain has a great control tutorial up on an Auto-sizing canvas ... but additionally, it's a very nice Layout Control tutorial in general.. Jafar has done some very nice work and this is right there with the rest.

Stay in the 'Light!
