Silverlight Cream for April 7, 2008 -- #246

Margaret of Silverlight SDK has a great tutorial on Custom Panels, Cheryl at Silverlight SDK has a WebClient/HttpWebRequest article, Sam Landstrom at Silverlight SDK demos a SL2 Timer, Michael Sync offers up solutions to a few good questions, Jeff Paries updated his cool Drum Pad, Tim Sneath on Controlling SL Updates and new SL 1.0 Release, and Tim Heuer on Cross-domain Policies.


From:

Creating a Custom Panel

There are a few Silverlight SDK entries that slipped past me... the first is this one from Margaret and is very cool... Creating a Custom Panel! I'm not sure where to start on a task like that, but now I know... Margaret's code:)

Using WebClient and HttpWebRequest

Next up is Cheryl tackling the WebClient and HttpWebRequest classes and eventually writing code to demonstrate making the same request with both... again, lots of learning there!

Make a Silverlight Timer (Silverlight 2)

Last but not least from Silverlight SDK is Sam Landstrom explaining how to use the DispatchTimer.

URL Referrer, Screen Resolution, Client’s Data Time and IP Address

Michael Sync has a post answering some fundamental questions we all might need to know about... good info, Michael!

Silverlight Drumpad v2

Jeff Paries... was wondering when he was coming back after laying that DrumPad on us last week..:)... now he has different drum kits and backing tracks... too cool:)

Controlling the Distribution of Silverlight Updates in the Enterprise

Tim Sneath discusses the Distribution of Silverlight Updates... and explains the two different approaches.

Silverlight 1.0 - New Maintenance Release Available

Tim also announces the release of a new version of SL 1.0... take that! all you SL2'ers:)

Silverlight cross domain policy file helpers

Tim Heuer was impossible to keep up with before, but now that he is part OF the SL Product team... watch out and hang on! Tim manages to cram information about the SL cross domain policy, an intellisense code snippet for it, and a larger 'hack' to get the rest of the intellisense for the policy file... whew!

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
