Bitmaps and Particles in Silverlight

Rich Barraza of sent me this, and I looked at it just briefly from home. When I tried to bring it up from here it locked up this XP box, so I think it's using something beyond what's loaded. It looked like something I wanted to bookmark to play with since I have a lot of bitmap history, and hey... Rick included the source:)

SilverLight Interop with Flash/Flex (flashlight?)

Michael C. Neel sent this one on Silverlight and Flash... if you read my blog, Michael, you'd have to know I'd get a chuckle out of 'flashlight'...:) This is actually a pretty cool communication from SL to flash and lots of code!

Control Interop, Silverlight-Style

Michael referenced this article by Jeff Prosise on Silverlight Interop between two controls... I've seen this one discussed a few places as well!... and Jeff provides code too... code-a-rama today:)

Buttons in a ListBox, and More

David Anson [Delay] exposes putting buttons in a ListBox and discusses some of the trickier bits involved in the wiring.

Databinding and the SyndicationFeed class

Yavor Georgiev of the Silverlight Web Services Team (who knew?) gives a detailed walkthrough of Databinding. Personally, I think this one should be printed out and hung next to your desk:)

Silverlight Code Camp Starter Template

Going along with the very nice CodeCamp app that John Stockton did last week, I found this one by Todd Miranda by way of David Hayden... also at CodePlex, and also looks very nice, the difference being this one is all SL1.0.

DataGridRow and Tooltip

Lee takes on ToolTips on the DataGrid with this code expose and write-up

Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Assemblies and Namespaces – Part 1

One from last week now from Daniel Moth, Silverlight2 Assemblies and Namespace... good discussion, and ties together some concepts you may not be aware of.

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.
