July 12, 2009 · 1 min read

In this Issue: Rob Houweling, Michael Washington, Mark Monster, and Alex Golesh(2, 3, 4).

From another all-submittal post:

Rob Houweling pulls off a resizing font in a textbox... this is very cool because last time I recompiled one of my legacy win32 articles, the native desktop code wouldn't do this without some finagling... thanks, Rob!

Michael Washington took some time and got Tim Heuer's Floating window working inside Silverlight Desktop and you can drag elements from one floating window to another.. very cool, Michael!

Mark Monster revisits Silverlight support in Google Analytics and discusses a few ways to handle it then shows an example using User Defined values including a Google Analyics screenshot.

Alex Golesh provides us with a good OOB reference based on the new SL3 bits.

Did you know Silverlight 3 supports multi-touch on Windows 7? Alex Golesh explains and shows sample code for it!

Another Quick Tip from Alex Golesh on getting SL3 to use the Browzer zoom... very cool.

Alex Golesh has updated his SilverlightRTL project on CodePlex for SL3 and has samples in the download. There's also a screenshot in this post.

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.
