From SilverlightCream.com:

Alex Golesh demonstrates putting an icon on the ChildWindow ... with a running example and the code to boot!
Silverlight VisualBrush and rounded corners
Chris Cavanagh has been doing some WPF blogging lately but now decided to tackle the fact that we don't have a Visual Brush in Silverlight ... oh, but after this post we essentially do.. very cool!

Hidden Object: Episode 5 – Add a Magnifier Behavior
This episode 5 of Mark Tucker's Hiden-Object Game is about building a magnifier into the game to let the player nose around in the image you provide. I like how Mark is pulling interesting articles by other folks together into a cohesive app.

This post is part 3 of Chris Klug's Silverlight/Twitter application. This time he's working on the View Models for his app. Lots of good insight into the design, and good code to use.
