- Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services July Update: Part 22: Separate Solution Files

- Fluid Dynamics in Silverlight
- File this one in the Holy Crap category ... I was just seeing a black rectangle and hadn't read the article yet, but once I moved the mouse across the app I got stuck there for some minutes just playing. Rick Barraza produced a very cool effect with all this and has great links out to resources if you really want to dig this deep into it. Otherwise just bring it up and play :)

- Wow... check out the carousels Gerard Leblanc has done this time... I like the speed and direction control on the second and the last one is just very clean-looking... great stuff!
- Adding a Rotating Button to the Swivel Behavior Demo
- John Papa added onto his swivel from last week and has a button that not only initiates it but spins around with the panel -- and yes it spins back the other way when it returns... pretty cool :)
- From DB to DataGrid – So Many Choices!
