The Silverlight Blog reports Silverlight Spikes AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Matches Live to Your Computer

From:

Mark Monster has a great detailed post up on Local Messaging, and adds in an enhancement of his own.

This is number 6 in Gavin Wignall's "Learn Blend in a Month" series and today he's introducing Images and Video.

Fernando Cerqueira sent me a link to his CodePlex project on Input Controls for Silverlight. These look pretty nice... take a look at what he's done.

Silverlight Tips is a new blog to me, and they're starting a series on Validation... looks like it might be a good one to read with a live demo, lots of code, and explanations.

Mark Tucker's 11th episode is adding custom shapes to the particles Behavior and he borrows from breakfast cereal:)

Mike Taulty helps you get the Blue Balls out of your Silverlight, wait... no, well...that's what HE said... it's the rotating blue loading screen, and he's got a video showing you how to produce your own... now what did you THINK I meant:)

Robbe Morris has a great article up on security with Silverlight and WCF services... probably a must-read for anyone doing this... all good stuff!

Brad Abrams is back at it with anothe episode in what could be easily published as an eBook on.NET RIA Services... this one is focused on Authentication and Personalization.

Christopher Bennage takes a second look at the SaveFileDialog and reports what he's found with regard to Caliburn and Silverlight.

Victor Gaudioso took a reader's comments from his Glassy button tutorial and produced a button of choice from the standpoint of a designer this time.

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.
