From:
Streaming media in Windows Server for Silverlight
Tim Heuer takes time to answer a bunch of streaming media questions that he aggregated from his inbox... definitely worth a bookmark if you think you're going to be streaming anything!
Making use of your JSON data in Silverlight
Tim also posted an article about not nuking all that JSON data, and ends up talking about WCF Script-Enabled Services
Dynamically creating and destroying containers
Jesse Liberty responds to a question on his last post about dynamically creating controls, and follows through with dynamically creating containers, and destroying as well.
More on layout and the LayoutInformation APIs
Margaret of the SilverlightSDK crew has a nice article with diagrams discussing the LayoutInformation class... this is some very interesting information, so use as needed:)
Executing Code on the UI Thread in Silverlight 2
Shawn Wildermuth takes on the task of reminding everyone that while the "asynchronicity question" is still flying around, we DO have access to the Dispatcher class from which we can execute code on the UI Thread... read on...
AutoComplete for Silverlight TextBoxes
Nikhil Kothari is back with more goodness from his Behavior Framework and this time delves into AutoComplete for TextBoxes, and as a very small aside, he also demonstrates Filters for TextBoxes -- this is some seriously cool stuff, time to download and read (or print out to draw circles and arrows in my case).
Michael Sync attacked the whole SL2B1 for Commercial use question with a couple MSFT folks and reports back his findings.
Stay in the 'Light!
