In this Issue: Colin Eberhardt, Danijel Stulic, Jonathan van de Veen, Corey Schuman, Jesse Liberty, and David Anson.

Shoutouts:

Karen Corby announced: Updated FlickrViewr for Silverlight 3

I saw this first at Frank LaVigne's site, but others have it posted as well... the Seattle Silverlight 3 FireStarter will be streamed if you can't get to Seattle. Sounds like a vacation day for me!

From:

Colin Eberhardt revisits a previous post on Dependency Property creation via XML... with this post, at design-time the declarations are read via a T4 template and the required code is generated.

Danijel Stulic resolved the issue of sending scrollable content to a WriteableBitmap... pretty simple when you see someone else's solution... thanks Danijel!

Jonathan van de Veen describes another coding adventure they had building their LOB app... this one involving the UpdateItem code in his app and changes he had to make to deal with adding items that may or may not have a parent.

With all the discussion involved with Behaviors, Corey Schuman takes a look at Triggers and provides one that fades layout root in... cool!

Jesse Liberty posted a bunch while I was gone, but now he's gone and I can catch up:) This is a tutorial on database creation that is going to lead into the next one on his site.

Using your own code is its own kind of encouragement [How to: Automatically update the widths of ListView columns - updated!]

David Anson expanded on a previous post and wrote a Behavior to automatically adjust column widths on a ListView.

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • 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.
