Silverlight Cream for April 11, 2008 -- #250

Scott Guthrie's weekly list-o-links, LeeOnTech about SL2 GroupBox and Drag/Drop, Dan Waters on DeepZoom, Dan Wahlin on SL2 Sockets, and Silverlight Streaming is updated!


From:

I normally don't re-blog Scott's Friday list of links because I figure if you're associated with this business in any manner, you're already reading his blog! Today's Silverlight list caught me off-guard however... thanks Scott!!

GroupBox

LeeOnTech posted this GroupBox one yesterday and it looks very nice. I did a groupbox one in 1.0 but didn't knock off the corners. I haven't looked at the code to see if the controls are really grouped, I'll leave that investigation up to the user (mostly because I didn't think of it until now and I can't get to skydrive from here:)

Drag and Drop in Silverlight

Before I could post his GroupBox, Lee had this Drag and Drop up... and is between ListBoxes, so that is definitelly something to look at!

Intro to Silverlight 2 Video Tutorial: DeepZoom for Dummies!

Dan Waters has this video on Silverlight.Net and I tracked it back to an article with more info and links on his site... good stuff!

Pushing Data to a Silverlight Client with Sockets: Part I

Dahn Wahlin was just yesterday discussing Networking from a higher level and came back this morning with this post on sockets. Been a long time since I did anything with sockets... Dan is a good guy to learn from!

Silverlight Streaming update!

If you haven't seen it yet, Silverlight Streaming has been updated... this post from 'benwilli'??? details what's new

Alice - An Educational Software that teaches students computer programming in a 3D environment

I found this by way of Joe Stagner's blog, and while it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Silverlight, it looks like it might have great promise for kids learning programming. I'm going to install it and try to get my granddaughter involved.

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.

  • 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.
