From SilverlightCream.com:
Advanced Render Techniques with WriteableBitmaps
If you ever wanted to wipe that smirk off the Mona Lisa, now's your chance... I thoughtRick Barraza's last post was fun to play with but wow is this cool... great explanation and lots of external links too!
Getting to know the EntityCollection
Colin Blair has a good introduction to the Entity Collection contained within .NET RIA Services. Looks like if you're interested in .NET RIA Services, you might want to keep an eye on his blog... I will be!
Misfit Geek Podcast - Episode #3 Tim Heuer on SIlverlight 3
Listen to Joe Stagner Interview and discuss Silverlight 3 with Tim Heuer on Joe's third Misfit Geek podcast.
Adding some style to the loading screen…
Ready for a little adventure into what Silverlight 1 was like? Chris Klug has a post up for building your own 'loading' screen, but it has to be done in the manner we used to do SL1... fun :)
A Prism (Unity) Service to create Views
Andrea Boschin is back from the summer holidays and hard at it with MVVM. He's got a ViewBuilder service he's working on and does a good lead-up to it, explains it, and explains it's use... oh, and also gives up the code!
56 vector arrows in XAML
Wow... 56 Arrow Symbols and icons ... get 'em from Laurent Bugnion and read how he converted them for you. Some are WPF only, but lots are Silverlight... thanks Laurent (and Robby Ingebretsen, and Sander Baumann).
Mixing Silverlight and MS ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 in the same web application.
Having trouble with your Ajax controls causing your Silverlight to refresh? Al Pascual figured it out... and very simply too!

Stay in the 'Light!
