In this issue: Kevin Dockx, Mike Ormond, Nigel Sampson, Terence Tsang, and Chris Hay.

Shoutout:

Koen Zwikstra at First Floor Software is striking out on his own: So, what's all the fuzz about? .. and best of luck, Koen!

From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight: Easily Reading Application Settings from Configuration File (web.config)
Kevin Dockx came up with a clever way of being able to store SL-related info in the web.config file and reading it with a web service. Along the way he also makes use of the init parameters on the Silverlight control.. very cool stuff.
Silverlight No Selection ListBox and ViewBox
Mike Ormond continues with issues he resolved while working on the twitter app he did a while back. This one staves off the natural action of being able to select individual items among other things... cool demo :)
Why won't Generic.xaml work?
Nigel Sampson discusses Generic.xaml issues and how to resolve them in your control.
Pencake Christmas Ecard - Free Online Greeting Card
Terence Tsang has his PenCake site up and running doing Christmas e-Cards, so if you haven't done your Christmas cards yet, forget it, they won't get there anyway, use Terence's site :)
Silverlight: PDC Podcast (Part 2)
Chris Hay has the second set of Podcasts that he and John Mcloughlin did at PDC up now, and they're with Shawn Burke, Tim Sneath, and Mike Swanson. He also has a link to the first set.

Stay in the 'Light!
