In this Issue: Erno de Weerd, Colin Eberhardt, Thanigainathan Siranjeevi, Stefan Olson(2), Dan Wahlin, Chris Klug, and Alex Golesh.

Shoutouts:

Tim Greenfield has entered the NewCloudApp Windows Azure contest with a Silverlight app and asks us to Look what Silverlight can do... for now he has his submittal, a cool jigsaw puzzle, but he promises to write all about it.


From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight, Windows Live Writer and WordPress
Erno de Weerd blogged this and it's been picked up by others. If you're blogging on WordPress, now you can embed your Silverlight... of course my client has WordPress blocked, but that's not your problem :)
Exposing Bindings as Properties of a Control
Colin Eberhardt has an example up using a control he creates to display Brownian motion of 50 objects. This end-to-end example should give you a good understanding of exposing Bindings as properties and then using them.
Silverlight 3 with Bing Translator Services
Thanigainathan Siranjeevi shows a quick-up app using the Bing API to get translation running in an application. I didn't know Bing did that!
Updates to custom routing using the Uri Mapper in Silverlight 3
In this update to Stefan Olson's custom routing he explains an exception if the navigation is cancelled and how changing the way the cancellation is done will resolve the problem.
Displaying a login dialog based on page attributes in Silverlight 3
Stefan Olson fills in some blanks for us in the Navigation architecture by providing and describing an AuthenticationUriMapper based on the Custom URI Mapper he's been describing in other posts.
Control-Oriented Vs. Data-Oriented Programming in Silverlight
Dan Wahlin takes a shot at helping us shift our paradigm to thinking about data rather than controls. It's the binding, man :)
flickrVIEWR – A flickr viewer in Silverlight – Part 3
Chris Klug has part 3 of his flickrViewR up and posted and this one ties it all together. Through the power of MVVM he has no code in the CodeBehind, so if you're trying to wrap your head around it, this is a good real-world example.
Silverlight 3 Quick Tip #10: Styling Improvements
Alex Golesh quickly demonstrates the enhancements to Styles in SL3B that have the rest of us smiling, such as Based On which lets us inherit styles... what a relief :)

Stay in the 'Light!
