Silverlight Cream for July 17, 2009 -- #644

In this Issue: David Anson, Expression Blend and Design Blog, Scott Marlowe(2), Michael Washington, Soul Solutions, Gavin Wignall, Bill Reiss, Timmy Kokke(2), and Jeff Blankenburg(2).

Shoutout:

The Swiss MSDN Team blog has a post: Welcome to SurfaceTwitter, a multi-touch Twitter client for the Microsoft Surface! ... wow would that be cool to have... but hmm ... hard to carry around :)


For those of you that mentioned it, I not only added a SketchFlow tag, but I retagged all the older SketchFlow articles with the new tag, so searching will bring them up.

From SilverlightCream.com:
An "extreme" update for the Silverlight 3 release [HeadTraxExtreme sample application updated]
Remember when David Anson talked about an app-building exercise? Well.. he has gone through his app and brought it up to Silverlight 3 with a bunch of cool features... check out the post to see what they are and then download the code!
Deep Zoom Composer Updated – July 2009 / Release Candidate
The Expression Blend and Design Blog announced an RC of the Deep Zoom Composer. They list some of the new features and refer back to a prior article for others.
How to build a JavaScript to Silverlight Bridge
Scott Marlowe queried me about getting his work on SilvelrightCream. He followed up with a bunch of links. This is the first and is a post about JS to Silverlight and isn't SL3-specific
Silverlight Live Comment Preview Control
During an update to a support page on his blog, Scott Marlowe created not only the JS to SL bridge code but also pulled in some markup code ... wow... that's cool!
SketchFlow Rocks
Michael Washington gives some external tutorial links for learning to use SketchFlow and then demonstrates his first SketchFlow creation... thanks Michael!
Photosynth natively on Bing Maps Silverlight
Whoa... this makes my head hurt to think about... The Soul Solutions folks sent me this link to an app of Photosynth BingMaps in Silvelright .. too cool!
Using SketchFlow and Behaviors for quick easy demos
Gavin Wignall approaches SketchFlow from the standpoint of "let's build a demo" rather than "here's what you can do with SketchFlow" ... and shows where lots of the pieces we need are and how to hook them all up together.
WriteableBitmap pixel format in Silverlight 3
Bill Reiss has relocated his blog and amazingly enough I can hit it during the day. He's blogging about WriteableBitmap and explains the format of the pixel array to save us the couple hours it took him... thanks Bill!
SilverBullet #6 - System.Windows.EventTrigger
Timmy Kokke discusses getting an animation to run when your app starts by using the EventTrigger class. Much better than the clunky ways we had to do it with Silverlight 1.0 ... what... nobody remembers that??
SilverBullet #7 - System.Windows.Messaging
Timmy Kokke shows how to get your Silverlight snippets to talk to each other using System.Windows.Messaging... hey, there's only 2 messages :)
Day #14: Perspective 3D In Silverlight 3
Jeff Blankenburg adds a bit of good information to his gratuitous 3D demonstration by giving a nice little refresher on Cartesian Geometry particularly as it relates to Silverlight 3.
Day #15: Silverlight Charting
In this episode, Jeff Blankenburg creates some local data then delves into the toolkit to run a bar and pie chart using that data (doing both not being the first plan)... and he makes it look so simple :)

Stay in the 'Light!

Thanks for adding the SketchFlow tag. SketchFlow is going to be really big :)
