Shoutout

I know the Skim page at SilverlightCream was a problem. I've got a band-aid on it, and we need to tune the query ... seems like it's been popular-- that's good, but we didn't do a swell job of being extensible on the setup... we'll get it!

From SilverlightCream.com:

Creating NikeClone With Silverlight Part-5
As with the previous episodes, this part 5 from Faisal is a wealth of Expression Blend goodness as he creates and uses an ExpandableMenu control ... go grab the source and check it out!

I found Qixing Zheng via Christian Schormann's blog ... this is the latest on Behaviors in Blend and I'll be catching up one at a time.... they're all good!
Changing the layout for the selected item in ListBox
I like this post by Chris Klug. In a typical real-world example he got clobbered by not being able to 'get there from here' on changing the layout for only the selected item... see how he resolved it.

Stay in the 'Light!
