Layout controls in Silverlight 2 Beta 1

Nikolay Raychev of SilverlightShow submitted links to me for three very nice detailed tutorials on some of the fundamental controls in SL2. This first is an introduction.

Using the Canvas control in Silverlight 2 Beta 1

Nikolay's second article covers the Canvas... surprising amount of detail given that we all should be familiar with the Canvas:)

Using the Grid control in Silverlight 2 Beta 1

Nikolay's Third one is on the Grid Control.

Using the StackPanel control in Silverlight 2 Beta 1

Looking at the Layout article by Nikolay, I found he also has one on the StackPanel, and couldn't pass that one up... Keep 'em coming, Nikolay!!

Anaheim Silverlight presentation

Tim Heuer apparently gave a presentation in Anaheim and has posted all the materials that came out of that... has to be a good working example in that mix:)

Cross domain in Silverlight Streaming

In this one, Tim takes a shot at answering some questions by discussion Silverlight Streaming and Cross Domain policies... lots of goodness!

Silverlight Presentations at MIX 2008

Some kind soul at Silverlight.net has put together this page with all the SL Presentations at MIX '08 in one place!

SimpleSilverlightXpsViewer updated for Silverlight 2 Beta 1!

Thanks to Jaime Rodriguez for finally breaking loose with a real name for "Delay":) David Anson updated his XPS reader to SL2 and it is delivered with source... so have a ball:)

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.
