From the Microsoft Expression Blog: Modify the SketchFlow project settings

Christian Schormann gives a list of SketchFlow and Blend at PDC ‘09

Iwan van Ee sent a link to me to his Application to view photos posted on panoramio.com. This is pretty cool, and he's looking for suggestions for more functionality.


From SilverlightCream.com:
MVVM – This might hurt a little…
Avi Pilosof blogs about MVVM and from the standpoint of what the pain points might be depending upon your expectation level... almost required reading if you haven't begun to immerse yourself in MVVM!
Blitting and Blending with Silverlight's WriteableBitmap
Bill Reiss gives a nod to René Schulte and then takes off on the WriteableBitmap to produce some cool effects, all with code.
DomainDataSourceView API (DomainDataSource.DataView)
If you provided input to Jeff Handley when he requested it a while back on the DataView property, you might see your suggestion in the PDC drop of RIA Services... read Jeff's post!
Silverlight’s CollectionViewSource
Bea Stollnitz has been posting some WPF lately, but this time out she is discussing CollectionViewSource in Silverlight and comparing it to the same in WPF (her last post).
How to Get Your Silverlight Pages Indexed By Search Engines
If you want your Silverlight pages to be found by the search engines, check out Peter Bromberg's blog post. You have to rely upon the old trusty Title, Meta Keywords, and Meta Description. Ok... and Peter demonstrates how.
XAML: Gradients
Deborah Kurata discusses gradients in great detail for helping understand how to use them to the best advantage in your Silverlight.
The Silverlight HVP Spec
Jesse Liberty rolls out the soapbox to discuss Silverlight HVP in advance of using it in his up-coming videos. Great quote from Jesse: "The Silverlight HyperVideo Player (HVP) will do for Silverlight How Do I Videos what Hypertext did for the Internet: it will provide simple, fast, and easy to use links to additional, supplementary or related information."
New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to make a Timer Using the DispatcherTimer Class
Victor Gaudioso's latest video tutorial is all about using the DispatchTime class and a real example of where you'd use one.

Stay in the 'Light!
