- Speed up your app by compressing WCF service responses
- Tim Greenfield shows how to setup IIS to get your WCF services compressed during transit. Just for drill, I checked my shared hosting and I don't have that sort of granular access, but if you do... go for it!
- Prism v2 now supports WPF and Silverlight
- Adam Kinney reports that v2 of Prism supports WPF and Silverlight. This is probably worth a look if you're building a big app, and most definitely if you're planning on a web and desktop solution... can we say "one code body"??
- Prism Now Supports Silverlight 2!
- Shawn Wildermuth also blogged about Prism, and hey... he's going to be training on it if you're in the area... check it out.
- How to: Vector Graphics in Expression Design/ Adobe Illustrator
- Alex Knight has a new blog, and if you haven't seen it, check out the graphics. And... he's showing how he creates that stuff in Expression Design... pretty cool stuff, now all I need is a drawing pad... oh and talent... forgot to ask for a helping of that for Christmas :) ... cool stuff, Alex!
- Tip: Don’t be scared to use x:Name in XAML
- Joel Neubeck has a good discussion about why you should name your nodes in your XAML. Check out the comments though because there may be a reason to be more selective.
Stay in the 'Light!
