MIX08: Random pieces of news (3)

  • Interesting concept for localizing Silverlight applications using a "resource" JavaScript file. Presented by Brad Abrams.
  • Amazing set of new controls for Silverlight 2, including a datagrid. Where's the WPF-based one, Microsoft?
  • Multiline textbox in Silverlight 2.0 (but you're not supposed to talk about it :)
  • ASP.NET MVC framework for URL mapping. I think that ScottGu blogged about that before, something I definitely want to look into (when I'll have time, ah ah ah)
  • Tim Sneath on WPF and Silverlight: "WPF is the Ferrari and Silverlight is the Mini Cooper". Yeah maybe, but Ferrari is a cool name and a cool brand, while the WPF name really... we need a new name and a logo!!! Make WPF sexy please!
  • Attendees of the Together@MIX preconference to get black Zunes.
  • Some work was done on Bitmap Effects. Curious to know what work exactly!! Do they run in partial trust now?

I think Scott has already blogged that bitmap effects will be GPU based now. I assume that means partial trust support too.

I wonder if Silverlight will use the WPF MILCORE layer if it's installed so you can use this stuff directly from the browser.

Also hoping there will be more filters/shaders available.
