From:

Andrea Boschin has a new post at SilverlightShow discussing the enhancements to databinding in Silverlight 4B and how that improves life for us the developers.

AfricanGeek has his 10th Silverlight 3 video tutorial up describing how to handle the click event for the Play/Pause button.

Davide Zordan has the next two parts to his MEF, MVVM, and Silverlight 4B series up. Part 4 is on the Part Creator.

In Part 5, Davide Zordan has a demo giving sample data during editing in Blend or Visual Studio Designer (with a nod to Laurent Bugnion).

raelango has a post up on The Code Project on exporting a Silverlight DataGrid to Excel format

Rene Schulte has been doing lots of great work with WriteableBitmap, and now he's released his WriteableBitmapEx library to CodePlex!

Brad Abrams has a cool post up about field-level access in RIA Services he also discusses situations where just not displaying the data isn't enough... don't bring it down the pipe.

Colin Blair had blogged about a 'breaking change' a few days ago, and now reports it truly is a bug in the DomainService wizard.

As usual, CorrinaB has some great work out there... she's styled the Silverlight 4 Beta Toast to match the default Silverlight control styles.

Deborah Kurata took a shot at sharing code between her business object and Silverlight project and had troubles... then she figured out what they were talking about, and shares that plus working code with all of us:)

One week into Gill Cleeren's Silverlight Advent Calendar and he's doing a Kiosk application.

Gill Cleeren's next is all about using the clipboard with Silverlight 4 Beta

Fredrik Normén demonstrates using Unity as a Dependency Injection Framework to create his Domain Services in WCF RIA Services

amazedsaint has a hack that gives us Silverlight folks something like WPF's DependencyPropertyDescriptor AddValueChanged... give it a shot and give him some feedback

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.
