In this Issue: Mark Monster, Patrick Cauldwell(2), Kirupa Chinnathambi, and Nigel Sampson.

Shoutouts:

Tim Heuer has some great advice up for anyone trying to get ready for the SL2/SL3 switch:. I know we all have seen pages that want us to install SL 1 or 1.1 still, so follow Tim's instructions to not be one of those!

Despite 3 years of French in High School, I do NOT speak or read French (it's been too long ago!), but I can look at applications and this one from a Microsoft group in France is downright amazing:. I think that's the title... I love this!

From:

Mark Monster takes a look at the 4th drop of Moonlight. He's doing some comparisons and is getting team feedback... keep up the good work Mark!

Patrick Cauldwell sent me two interesting articles on.NET RIA Services 'from scratch'... and he's providing lots of code examples.

In Patrick Cauldwell's second post, he's wiring up the client side... and making it all look very easy.

Alex Zakharov explains how to add some command behavior to the DataGrid and thereby use relative binding.

Kirupa Chinnathambi continues digging into Blend 3 with this post on using Behaviors and targetting from the Blend UI.

If you're sharing some code between multiple services, you can run into proxy problems. Nigel Sampson helps out by explaining how Visual Studio actually supports us in this.

Stay in the 'Light!

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
