From:

Cristian Merighi has a new post up on convex and star-shaped n-gons rendered in in a Sivlerlight control.

Jeff Blankenburg has part 3 of his Silverlight 3 OOB post up, and this one is concentrating on making sure you have connectivity.

András Velvárt has a post up resolving the issue of the TextBox only updating it's binding when it loses focus.

Jeff Prosise explains the features of the HTML Hosting in Silverlight 4 Beta, and discusses the difference between WebBrowser and HtmlBrush objects.

Micah approaches the subject of deleting an entity in a many-to-many relationship with RIA Services. Real-world issues here, folks!

In somewhat of a twist on the whole webcam theme:)... Sean Blakemore uses Silverlight 4 beta's COM Automation to lash up his DSLR camera to a Silverlight app... too cool!

The Expression Blog has a tutorial up on blending paths... take two or more paths and let Blend give you the intervening paths (your choice) to blend them together.

Andrej Tozon has a demo app up of panning and zooming the webcam in Silverlight 4 beta.

CrocusGirl posted her Silverlight Christmas Tree decorator app and discusses the finer points of building it (the app not the tree)... good one, Cigdem!

Adam Kinney demonstrates how to resize (transform) grouped elements in Expression Blend.

Jordan Knight posted previously about his Fluent Animation Chainer... he's refactored it and it now supporst stop, pause, and resume, and there's a link on his post to download it!

Jonas Follesø has a detailed post up discussing INotifyPropertyChanged and Dynamic Proxys as implemented by taking pieces from a couple other well-documented posts. Lots of external links and explanations

Jonas Follesø responded to a couple comments and actually made the previous code easier... and I still really like the code presentation with the comments!

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.
