In this Issue: Peter Bromberg, Brad Abrams, Shawn Wildermuth, Page Brooks, Terence Tsang, Vikram Pendse, David Anson, Dan Wahlin, Joel Cochran, and Matthias Shapiro.


From:

I'm trying to imagine something you'd want to do with Isolated Storage that Peter Bromberg didn't cover in this post... great blog post!

Brad Abrams's latest excursion is to push all the data access into stored procedures. He finishes with some good external links about stored procs.

Did you know there is an Application class that gets loaded before your xaml? Read Shawn Wildermuth's post where he digs into this and explains it all to us!

Page Brooks is building pages dynamically and sizing them to fill or flow into another page according to a set of constraints he set forth.

Terence Tsang uses the WriteableBitmap to do a Blur Animation, cutting down the amount of processing needed to do so.

Vikram Pendse has part 2 of his.NET RIA Services Primer up and it is looking pretty good so far... if you're not up on this stuff, you should play along...

Using one platform to build another [HTML 5's canvas tag implemented using Silverlight!]

Yikes... check out the piece of work David Anson did in Silverlight to investigate the HTML 5 canvas... wow cool:)

Dan Wahlin approaches and resolves a complex databinding problem quite nicely... this is a good one to put in your pocket for later.

Read Joel Cochran's frustration of centering a Silverlight App in an HTML page and what the resolution turned out to be.

Matthias Shapiro had a need to build a path programmatically and has some cool resources listed in addition to his work. I can think of lots of places to use this.

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.
