Shoutouts:

This was a bad weekend for me... I spent most of Saturday in bed and didn't feel much like blogging on Sunday, so this set of posts is everything from Friday evening to Monday morning.

Shawn Wildermuth has posted his Sample Code from GGMUG Talk

Michael S. Sherotter says that he Need Help with my Chroma Key Pixel Shader Algorithm, which I blogged about last week.

Al Pascual reports Silverlight MapStats.NET source code posted at the Gallery ... this is that new site stats map that he blogged about a while back.


From SilverlightCream.com:
Getting Started with Prism in Silverlight
Erik Mork is digging into Prism, and has a tutorial up on his development guides site in addition to a Sparklink Client Podcast on the same... check them both out!
Silverlight 3 and RIA Service – Cross Domain Proxy Enhanced
Mark Monster enhances his code from a few weeks ago on the proxy for .NET RIA Services. His enhancement will associate requests with responses for when the proxy is getting slammed. I'm glad there's folks out there that understand code like this :)
Error Message: The directory name is invalid
Steve Strong demonstrates an interesting protected mode issue while playing with SaveFileDialog... interesting in that the workaround doesn't sound like something anyone would want.
nRoute Containers: It holds the Magic
Rishi digs into some nRoute documentation discussing 'containers' ... what they are exactly and all their uses.

Kirupa Chinnathambi has parts 2 and 3 of his series on Behaviors, Triggers, and Actions up. This Part 2 covers the "what is a Behavior" question. Part 3 shows how to 'trigger' your behaviors: Behaviors and Commands
Using Silverlight Ria Services to overcome Cross Domain issues with RSS
Timmy Kokke gives us a walk-through on using the .NET RIA Services to get access to RSS feeds without getting hammered by cross-domain issues.
Writing Behaviors for Silverlight 3 - Part 1
Shawn Wildermuth has a series going on Behaviors. In this Part 1 he builds a blur hover behavior. In part 2, he builds a 'shiverbehavior' which is invoked on an event trigger: Writing Behaviors for Silverlight 3 - Part 2
A Smaller XAP Preloader for Silverlight
Page Brooks has some nice code up for cutting down on the preloader size. He also offers up that if you can get it tighter, let him know and he'll update the post.
Silverlight Quick Tip: How to change Tab Items order
Alex Golesh handily tackles the question of switching tabs at run-time. I wouldn't even have thought to try :)

Stay in the 'Light!
