Silverlight Cream for March 11, 2009 -- #538

In this issue: Pencho Popadiyn, Gavin Wignall, Jesse Liberty(2), Ian Blackburn, Rishi, Andrej Tozon, and Corey Schuman.

Shoutouts:

Andy Beaulieu has a post up about all the good Silverlight Gaming goodness: Silverlight Gaming ++, as with PCs and hardware, I also believe gaming will bring Silverlight into it's own.

Tim Heuer describes his new best friend and why: Silverlight Business Application Development faster with IdeaBlade

Phoenix' own Steve Commisso has an entry in the MIX09 ShowOff competition and is sharing it early: MIX 09 Show Off Entry

From SilverlightCream.com:
Model – View – ViewModel in Silverlight
Pencho Popadiyn takes a hard look at MVVM, it's background, how it relates to WPF and Silverlight ... great tutorial with a good example, demo, and code.
Silverlight gravity simulation on a dragable ball
Gavin Wignall sent me a link to his blog to see if I thought it would be useful to everyone ... boy I'll say... this first one is a very cool gravity demo all with source... thanks for the link Gavin!
Sparkling Client Podcast on The Bubble Chart
Jesse Liberty found himself in PodCast-a-rama apparently ... this first one by our friends at Sparkling Client talking about the Bubble Chart from the Toolkit.
An Hour Being Flexible
In this next Podcast, Jesse Liberty is talking on TheFlexShow... um, no really! ... no chair throwing, no Dr. Phil "What were YOU thinking?" ... just good stuff as usual fromm Jesse. And thanks for the shoutout Jesse!
Silverlight Drag and Drop and HitTest on any layout (not just Canvas)
Ian Blackburn talks about Drag/Drop and hit testing and constructed a DragManager class that announces collisions with other elements. At the very least, this could save you a bunch of time!
Silverlight ReaderWriterLock Implementation
Rishi continues to compare WPF and Silverlight and in his case it's not a bad thing... because he keeps providing us goodness such as the ReaderWriterLock Implementation today... lots of outside links in the article as well.
Disabling items in a Silverlight ListBox
Andrej Tozon has a very cool demo of disabling items in a ListBox and along the way has probably the smallest demo of a ListBox that doesn't look like a list box -- worth the price of admission :)
Generic XAML loading control
Corey Schuman built a very nice-looking 'loading' control that you can either grab and use, or make your own based on what you can learn from Corey.

Stay in the 'Light!
