Silverlight Cream for May 12, 2008 - 2 -- # 273

Nikolay Raychev with a couple articles about SL2 buttons, DanWahlin continuing his SL 1.0 series, and Todd Anglin on SL2 UI Controls in general.

I've had 4 emails about running SilverlightCream.com really wide and having the CSS cause problems, but this morning, Henrik Sderlund wrote me about it, and after exchanging email with him, he wrote back with the CSS solution. How cool is that? Thanks Henrik!

Dan Wahlin has been doing a series on Silverlight 1.0 and with all the product he's got, this might be a good time to jump in and look around!

First Look: Silverlight 2.0 UI Controls

Todd Anglin posted this very nice article about the Silverlight 2.0 controls. This is a very good write-up from layout to media, and is well worth a read!

Stay in the 'Light!
