Silverlight Cream for April 24, 2010 -- #846

In this Issue: Michael Washington, Timmy Kokke, Pete Brown, Paul Yanez, Emil Stoychev, Jeremy Likness, and Pavan Podila.

Shoutouts:

If you've got some time to spend, the User Experience Kit is packed with info:, and just plain fun to navigate... thanks Scott Barnes for reminding me about it!

Jesse Liberty is looking for some help organizing and cataloging posts for a new project he's got going: Help Wanted

Emil Stoychev posted Slides and demos from my talk on Silverlight 4


From:

Michael Washington has a post up about a Silverlight Drag and Drop File Manager in MVVM, but a secondary important point about the post is that he and Alan Beasley followed strict Designer/Developer rules on this... you recognized Alan's ListBox didn't you?

Timmy Kokke is using jLight as introduced in a prior post to interact with the DOM from Silverlight.

Pete Brown has a great backrounder up for WPF and Silverlight devs on threading and networking, good comments too so far.

Paul Yanez has a quick post and demo up on forcing full-screen with a fluid layout, all code included -- and it doesn't take much

Emil Stoychev has a great long tutorial up on DataBinding in Silverlight... he hits all the major points with text, samples, and code... definitely one to read!

Another not-necessarily Silverlight post from Jeremy Likness -- but definitely a good one on MVVM and locator patterns.

Pavan Podila has a 'SpiderWebControl' for Silverlight 4 up... this is a great network graph control with any sort of feature I can think of... check out the demo, then grab the code... or the other way around, your choice:)

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.
