Michael Washington on DNN SL Users, Florian Kruesch with a Triangle control for 3D, Bill Reiss on HSL color, Jaime Rodriguez on Installing SL, Tim Rule with an Inner Glow application, Somasegar on PopFly Game Creator, and Jeff Brand on SL Streaming Content.

I believe I've caught up with myself on Silverlight blogs on SilverlightCream. I haven't cleared out doubles or dead sites yet. If you are not on there and want to be, send me an email!

From:

DotNetNuke Silverlight Users

Michael Washington has an article up on showing site users in a Silverlight Grid that is fed from a WebService, all through the magic of DNN... lots of source and screenshots as usual with Michael's work:)

A Textured Triangle Control for Silverlight 2 - the Basic Building Block for 3D

Forian Kruesch posted this article to me. It's sitting as unedited at Code Project at the moment... looks like a great start for getting going in 3D in Silverlight... but this stuff makes my head hurt:)... all source of course... good job, Florian!

HSL Colors in Silverlight

Bill Reiss posted this just about when I was getting ready to write up the blog post... all you have to do is look at the example images he has on that page and you KNOW you want to read the article... good stuff!

Installing Silverlight no longer requires a browser re-start… woohoo!!!

Jaime Rodriguez posts about no longer needing to reboot on a Silverlight Install and tracks it back through the team.

InnerGlow Effect For Silverlight 2 Beta 1

Tim Rule took a shot at all the parameters involved in doing an Inner Glow effect and produced a very nice-looking application. Kind of makes my ReflectionBuilder application look sad:)... oh yeah... source code!

Popfly Game Creator

Somesegar reports on the PopFly Game Creator if you haven't seen it yet

Cracking the Silverlight Streaming Direct Content Access Code

Jeff Brand has a very cool article up on how to access Silverlight Streaming content without having to go through one of the existing options... great forensics here... definitely worth looking at if you're doing or want to do some streaming!

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.
