Mike Snow has made his book public: Silverlight Tip of the Day #98 – Silverlight 3 Game Programming Book ... very cool, Mike... I look forward to that!

John Papa the Silverlight data/webservice guru is learning guitar and has combined that experience with Silverlight: Silverlight Chord Finder. Since I paid for a lot of my education playing a guitar, I'm interested in seeing this, John!


From SilverlightCream.com and wow I just did a big list yesterday... can't imagine what it's going to be like after MIX!
Silverlight USA States Visualisation
Martin Duffy answered up to Tim Heuer's challenge for a Silverlight visualization application and took on something similar to the WPF USA map of a few weeks ago... I really like the effects he has here and it just works great... awesome job, Martin!
TemplatePanel (aka MasterPage) for Silverlight
Nikhil Kothari discusses the TemplatePanel from his Silverlight.FX package and how it neatly handles the MasterPage functionality we all know and love.
Silverlight Routing a la MVC Routing
Rishi provides us a parallel between Silverlight Routing and MVC Routing along the way providing lots of information and a good source for MVC routing in a final link.
A client for duplex services in Silverlight
Nigel Sampson tackles a reasonably complex problem of duplex services. He gives links out to sources he starte with and then provides his neatly encaspulated code!
Debugging a Remotely Hosted Silverlight App
Bryant Likes explains how to set yourself up to remotely debug a xap file... a couple caveats apply, but hey, it works! ... and you can also perform the magic to code running on a Mac.
Silverlight: double click a ListBox item
Ofir Shemesh follows up his double-click any Silverlight object post with one on how to double-click a ListBox item ... just a little tricky since there's no object you can depend upon... check out his solution.
Gravatar control for Silverlight and WPF - source and control binaries
I missed this yesterday, but Jeff Wilcox shows us a GravatarControl package that you can throw onto your blog... Silverlight and WPF ... looks pretty straightforward to use, too.
Another Silverlight 2 Hands-on Lab
The Swiss MSDN Team Blog has a post up about a new Hands-on lab that exactly produces a PhotoBrowser application previously done in a session by Ronnie Saurenmann at TechDays in Basel.
Adding RTL Support to Silverlight Using SilverlightRTL Library – Part 1
Yasser Makram uses the OpenSource SilverlightRTL library inside VisualStudio and Blend even!
Using PreparingCellForEdit event in datagrid
Lee demonstrates using PreparingCellsForEdit to qualify the action available to users on editing cells in a DataGrid.
Controls are like diapers: you don't want a leaky one [Implementing the WeakEvent pattern on Silverlight with the WeakEventListener class]
David Anson discusses how it's possible to create a hidden reference, how WPF deals with it, and then offers us all a solution in Silverlight2 ... how cool is that?

Stay in the 'Light!
