Silverlight Cream for June 20, 2008 -- #305

June 20, 2008 · 1 min read

Emil Stoychev with a LinkLabel control, Rob Houweling on the browser back button, David Anson on Vertical Text, and DevExpress with AgDataGrid.

Update from yesterday... I was corrected on my blog that the is organized by an Irish user group, Developers.ie and not by Microsoft Ireland... I stand formally corrected... thanks Paschal!

I also want to point out that if you haven't been attending Lindsay Rutter's Silverlight presentations this week, there are 3 more next week, and she's been really fast at posting the webcast material on her blog.

From:

Emil Stoychev has a Silverlight 'LinkLabel' control that looks very nice and works great!... and the source code is included:)

Rob Houweling demonstrates using browser history inside a Silverlight Application... I think that's a new one on me... very nice, Rob!

VerticalTextBlock Control sample for Silverlight 2

David Anson takes displaying text vertically literally and makes it a control and provides source that works for both Silverlight and WPF!

Announcing Beta 1 of the AgDataGrid Suite for Silverlight 2

This has been around the twitterverse this morning, so if you haven't seen it yet, DevExpress has announced Beta 1 of a DataGrid control... you simply register for it and you get it... pretty simple, and a very nice control to boot!

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
