March 30, 2008 · 1 min read

Dan Wahlin's latest articles, Cheryl at Silverlight SDK on SL2, WS, and WCF, Sam Landstrom on using one animation for multiple objects, Scott Morrison digs deep on SL2 DataGrids, Andy Beaulieu on SL2 LINQ to SQL CRUD, and Mike Taulty on passing data between plugins.

From:

This is a list of the latest Silverlight articles Dan Wahlin has written for .NET Insight. Many are 1.0 but some are 2, and all are worth looking at. Just because SL2 is here, all the 1.0 material is still good as Dan proves!

Web Services and Silverlight

Cheryl at Silverlight SDK posted this great article on SL2 WS with WCF and links back to others we've seen, but provides a good resource!>

Target Multiple Objects with one Animation (Silverlight)

Sam Landstrom tackles using one Animation for multiple objects, sort of like a SL2 extension of my. Sam has all the code and looks great, thanks!

More Calculator

I didn't get around to posting Scott McCraw's calculator before he posted an update! I found this by way of Brad Abrams originally. THis is just a very clean design... looks great and hey... it's code included:)

Defining Columns for a Silverlight DataGrid

Scott Morrison is back with a great article on SL DataGrids and columns including Template columns and Value Converters... all good stuff!

LINQ to SQL CRUD

Andy Beaulieu gives a preview of his CodeCamp presentation on SL2 LINQ to SQL CRUD... building off his Andy's Fridge 1.1 demo... thanks Andy!

I personally don't think I'd have thought to try this, but Mike Taulty worked out how to pass data between SL plugins... I'm sure we're going to be seeing more of this in the future!

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
