SilverlightShow has their top 5 from last week listed:

From:

Colin Eberhardthas a second part to his "Conversation View" application for WP7 up... in this one he's styling the speech bubbles and scrolling the conversation.

Ollie Riches gives a nod at (and link) Mike Talbot's SilverlightSerializer post, then quickly enhances the Serializer in WP7Contrib

Continuing with Morten Nielsen's series on WPF vs Silverlight is this post about XamlReader and how to call it in both WPF and Silverlight

Morten Nielsen continues with a post on the programmatic creation of bitmaps and how that is done in both WPF and Silverlight

Mike Taulty reacts to a twitter post about Synchronous Network calls and UI Threads with this post discussing the issues and then going all the way into the Async CTP and Rx.

Windows Phone 7 Guide [Video] – Part 6 – ISETool

Den Delimarsky has a video tutorial up on using the ISO Explorer tool that you get with the WP7.1 SDK

Derik Whittaker has an introductory SQL CE post up, with an eye toward more in-depth posts coming up. If you're new to SQL CE, this looks like a great place to start

I blogged about Oscar Agreda and his CodePlex offerings last week. I didn't know at the time that he also had a blog... here's his latest, with external links, screenshots, and code

Not necessarily Silverlight, but hey, everybody needs icons... Austin Andrews has a very nice long Expression Design tutorial up for creating icons various ways.

Manas Patnaik has a very cool IValueConverter post up demonstrating binding various types of things into the same column in a datagrid... good pictures and listings plus a live demo... looks like the download link is disabled tho

Jesse Liberty's talking about the ability to test location services with the emulator you now get in WP7.1... sample code goodness included.

Jesse Liberty then has a post about the Bing Maps Task now available... quick write-up on a cool topic

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.

    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.
