Silverlight using WCF with Windows Authentication
Mark Monster sent me this after I had already looked at his blog... so good timing Mark :) Good post about using ASP.NET credentials in your Silverlight WCF ... and enables role-based authentication as well... pretty cool Mark!
Silverlight ValidateXML error
I found this by way of Shawn Wildermuth... Scott Davis talks about and has yet another link out to more info on a vexxing design-time xaml error.

Colin Eberhardt has a detailed article with lots of screenshots and code on clipping and what all you can do with it... and what needs to be done even though you may think you shouldn't have to :)
How to show the highscore of a Silverlight game on a website from a different server
Silverlight Girl discusses cross domain issues in displaying game scores and has some good Microsoft links.

Tim Heuer references an update to the whitepaper on Silverlight Enterprise Deployment. The doc isn't new, but it's updated.

Koen Zwikstra has a nice article up on customizing the Document Viewer in his Document Toolkit. Take a look and convince yourself you need this :)
Editing Model & Default Initializer for Silverlight Controls
Ning Zhang has lots of external links going on here... and lots of good info about DefaultInitializer and how to get it to do what you want it to. Pay close attention to the version information and link he has in the paragraph just above the heading "Collections".
Project Starlight: Multicast Plug-in for Silverlight
Ben Waggoner dishes the details on what he's been working on... a multicast Silverlight solution via plugin. You can not only download it, but you can download the source under a license similar to the MS-PL one... cool! Watch Ben's blog ... it should all be available on Codeplex soon.

Stay in the 'Light!

May 18th Best of MIX Event in Phoenix

Don't get this confused with the Scott Guthrie event and then be mad at yourself for missing it!

On May 18th there is a FREE half-day Best of MIX Event in downtown Phoenix.

Did I mention it is FREE?

Come out to see Tim Heuer present on Silverlight 3, Dan Wahlin on ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and Web Forms, and Rob Bagby on Windows Azure.

These are all 3 great presenters and great topics.

You were going to celebrate Victoria Day anyway, so come out for an afternoon with 3 Phoenix "Rockstars" and get warmed up for the May 26th event!
