From:

Christian Schormann is discussing a second 90-second Expression Blend video tutorial by Jon Harris... this second one is about Blend 4 for WP7.

Vladimir Bodurov has a post up extending the RichTextBox control to add coloring for HTML and XAML... it colors as you type, and he plans on adding Intellisense!

While working on his book, Pete Brown decided to share some Silverlight 'Report Writer' work with us... check out that list of goals near the top that are all met... looks great to me!

Justin Angel has a good long post about a subject I've stayed away from until now that someone of Justin's level of knowledge has approached it: WP7 ROMs.

John Papa has Silverlight TV 27 up today and is talking about the Silverlight 4 Tools for VS2010 launch with Mark Wilson-Thomas... the video would be a great place to pick up some of the new features (hint, hint)

John Papa also has Silverlight TV 28 up, talking with Nikhil Kothari and Dinesh Kulkarni about the v 1.0 release of WCF RIA Services.

Fons Sonnemans updated his MineSweeper game and has it posted at Silver Arcade, this version supports right mouse click via RightMouseTrigger code that he is sharing.

The 'Smoke Effect' menus at the CompleteIT site are awesome, and this time out, Miroslav Miroslavov discusses how that was done and gives up the code...!

Jeremy Likness has a post up to give you some relief if you hit the same MEF/Silverlight gotcha he did when running OOB... like not running in OOB for instance.

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.

  • 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.
