From SilverlightCream.com:
Expression Blend Samples
Michael Washington clued me into this CodePlex project by some Microsoft Expression Blend folks with a bunch of Expression Blend goodies to download... thanks Michael and Microsoft!
Silverlight Modal Dialog With Custom User Controls
Robbe Morris has built a class that allows you to launch a modal popup with all your goodness on it. All the code is there... looks like fun.
Silverlight 3 Bing API: A Related Links Widget
Peter Bromberg has ported BingSharp from CodePlex to Silverlight and has used it to build a search widget that displays related items as well... looks like a week's worth of knowledge in this post and the code.
Fun with SaveFileDialog and WriteableBitmap
Fixing Red Eyes in graphic images isn't dead simple even in advanced photo tools. Jeff Prosise has accomplished this in a Silverlight App using the new Silverlight 3 enhancements... very cool!
Silverlight 3 Navigation: Adding transitions to the Frame control
Falling in the category of 'great minds thinking alike', David Poll worked independently of Koen Zwikstra and they both put up page transitions. Between the two of them, you should be able to find anything you like.
New in Silverlight 3: Perspective Transforms
Jesse Liberty where ya been?? :) Jesse has a great demo of a use for perspective 3D that I love and a link out to Silverlight.net to a 2-part video showing how it's all done!
What’s New In SL3 – Based-on Styles
Another quick "what's new" from Jesse Liberty... this one on the new Based-On Style feature .. whew... glad we finally got that!
Simple Styles for Silverlight
Wow... this is cool, Robby Ingebretsen has uploaded a set of 'starter' styles and templates that you can then use as the base for creating your own... thanks Robby!
3’ on Blend 3 – #1: The Workspace
Katrien De Graeve is a Microsoft DE in Belgium and Luxemburg. I misspelled her last name yesterday and have repaired that. She had me confused for a bit though with 3 feet of Expression Blend :) I'm thinking that's a regional notation. Nevertheless, the content is quick and good. She's got a few out and I'll catch up. This first one is on the Workspace.
3’ on Blend 3 - #2: SketchFlow Introduction
In this video episode, Katrien De Graeve has the first part of a sequence on SketchFlow... and pick your language of choice :)
Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 3: Authentication
In this 3rd part of his series, Brad Abrams gives a nice tutorial on authenticating a user.
Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 4: SEO, Export to Excel and Out of Browser
In part 4, Brad Abrams is discussing deeplinking and getting search engines to find your site content. He touches on some SEO issues and even goes OOB with the app.

Stay in the 'Light!
