From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight 4 Video Tutorials
So much for quality control, I had African Geeks' link messed up last night, but it's correct now. Yes I know this is the same link for all of African Geek's postings, but they're in his scrolling video menu... he's got two new ones in there (on the left) that are the first two of a 4-parter on Silverlight 4. Both using the right-click menu and printing... cool!
Writing WPF/Silverlight compatible code. Part 4: Geometries
Alan Mendelevich continues with part 4 of a series on writing code that's compatible to WPF and Silverlight. This time out he's talking about geometry... and there are differences... check out his post for the details.
Walkthrough: The power of the November 2009 Silverlight Toolkit testing tools
Jeff Wilcox blogs about the new features in the Toolkit drop and gives a walkthrough of installing the toolkit and Creating a Silverlight class library with unit testing.
Windows System Color Theme for Silverlight
CorrinaB hits a homerun again with a mapping to Windows System colors ... check out the project to download... and provide feedback! ... this is great stuff...
Fixing Visual Studio 2010 and Blend Preview for .NET 4 integration
Tim Heuer comes to our rescue as usual with a solution to the problem of not being able to 'open in Expression Blend' in VS2010... be sure to read Tim's warning as well!
(Not) Doing Back Flips with DomainDataSource [SubmitChanges sends user to first page]
Jeff Handley reports on a change that was made to resolve a (possible) problem with paging after SubmitChanges() that actually ended up being pretty 'heavy handed' (their words)... read about it and the bug they've turned in on it, and how to make it NOT do what the change is trying to do.
SilverBullet #13 - System.Threading.SynchronizationContext
Timmy Kokke has his Silver Bullet #13 up on the site, discussing System.Threading.SynchronizationContext with sample code to demonstrate.
Silverlight Tile Map using WriteableBitmap
Cameron Albert took some WriteableBitmap code that Bill Reiss produced and turned it into a tiled map creator for his game... check it out... it's too cool!
Silverlight Style: GlassBorderStyle
Antoni Dol has an awesome glass button up on their new Silverlight & Expression Insiders site ... real quick drop-in :)
WCF RIA Services and DTO with association
Fredrik Normén has a post up about WCF RIA Services and DTO... specifically addressing sending an object graph that includes an association to other objects.

Tim Heuer also has posted a Microsoft PDC09 and Silverlight Round-up... I'm adding this to the Silverlight Links in the WynApse.com outlookbar.

Don't forget that Loek van den Ouweland and Fons Sonnemans have SilverlightXP up and running full of resources... They'd like submissions and suggestions!

Joe Stegman posted his TrustedApp Sample from PDC 2009


From SilverlightCream.com:

EdgeCam Shots - Saving Silverlight 4 Webcam Snapshots to JPEG
Rene Schulte extended his Silverlight 4 webcam and edge detection shader sample to save webcam snapshots as JPEG files and discusses some limitations of Silverlight's built-in CaptureSource.AsyncCaptureImage snapshot method. Furthermore he gives some ideas on how to build a Silverlight 4 video chat / conference application on top of the JPEG capturing and encoding code.
Ria Services under the hood Part 1 – Service Operations
Michael Washington pointed me at Jason Harper, and he's got a good series going on RIA Services. I decided to start with his part 1 and work my way out. This is a bit of a different slant because he's going 'under the hood'... thanks for the link, Michael!
RIA Services: A DomainService IS A WCF Service – Add Service Reference
Brad Abrams has a link to his PDC09 talk, then goes on to explain his statement that a DomainService is a WCF Service. He then shows how to consume a DomainService from a WinForms app ... I know, don't hate me for that, but it's WCF goodness, ok??
10 Steps to Debug Silverlight Out-of-Browser Applications without Attaching
Trying to debug a Silverlight 4B OOB app and having problems figuring out how to do it? John Papa has a 10-step solution for you that doesn't involve attaching, and don't worry, it won't interfere with your 12-step program :)

How to create a Module based Silverlight application (Part 1)
Fredrik Normén is doing a bunch of blogging lately, but don't skip his post on modularizing your Silverlight. This is the first of a series and he says the next one is going to be using MEF so stay tuned to his blog!
Silverlight 4 NotificationWindow and Queuing multiple notifications
Tim Heuer has a post up about 'toast' ... no not *that* kind of toast! ... the NotificationWindow kind :) Good article, a link to a video about it on Silverlight.net and all the source.
Taking a WebCam Photo with Silverlight
Shawn Wildermuth's latest is an app demonstrating capturing images from a webcam using Silverlight 4B... with source! I guess my only comment would be to use it only for good :)
Detecting duplicate instances of a running Silverlight application
If you've got a Silverlight app that you want to limit to one instance running what do you do? Well... go read Andrej Tozon's post and see how to get the job done... that's what I'd do :)
