Ward Bell has a PDF up of PDC 2009 Session Links -- thanks Ward!

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 :)
Getting Silverlight Applications Ready for the Real World
Jeremy Likness has a great post up for anyone building a Real-World application. He's discussing things from his experience that we should all address.

Jeff Wilcox posts about the new OOB Control browser sample in the Toolkit, then goes on with a tutorial on how to do a first-class OOB experience for your own app.
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 :)


Stay in the 'Light!
