Silverlight Cream for August 09, 2008 -- #341

Mark Monster on DynamicProxy and Function Pointers, Emil Stoychev with OlympicShow, Denislav Savkov with weather forecast control, Azret Botash with a MessageBox dialog, Rich Griffin with a Tag Cloud and Dependency Injection, Rob Houweling with SharpZipLib, Alex Golesh on dynamic creation/destroying SL objects, Mario Meir-Huber with a SL blog in German, and James Bacon on Downloading SL errors.

I'm back from vacation... no trout, but lots of fish and cool air. This first SC Blog post after vacation is strictly posts from folks that have submitted while I was gone. I'll catch up with the rest in an on-going effort.

What needs to be done to make DynamicProxy work in Silverlight?

Mark Monster takes on investigating the Castle Project with regard to Silverlight. By the sounds of it, it seems a bit of help might be in order, particularly from some knowledge experts!

Using Function Pointers a la EventHandler instead of return types

Mark also posted a nice article on using function pointers instead of return types and provides code examples extracting Delicious tags... very cool

These SilverlightShow guys are not wasting any time... Emil Stoychev has posted a great-looking Olympics history Silverlight application... the amount of research and just data-entering for this is mind-boggling, and the SL is very cool as well:)

Custom controls: Weather forecast control: Part 1 - Introduction

Denislav Savkov, also of SilverlightShow submitted a Part I of a series on building a kick-ass Weather control for Silverlight... and with lots of info and external links as we've come to expect from these guys... definitely one to read... Thanks Denislav:)

Azret Botash posted a reusable MessageBox Dialog on the Devexpress blog... this is done in a very nice tutorial style, and it looks great! In my absense, he has also posted, and... busy, busy!

Del.icio.us Silverlight Library, Tag Clouds and Dependency Injection

Rich Griffin submitted a Del-icio-us Tag Cloud application. He's got lots of external links, and is asking for assistance in extending the code...

Silverlight SharpZipLib on CodePlex

Rob Houweling has a C# SL Zip library on CodePlex... another one to take a close look at!

Alex Golesh has a nice quick article on MakeSL and HideSL JavaScript functions... looks like good code to grab to me!

Mario Meir-Huber has begun a German blog for SL, and I added it and a German tag to SC... thanks for letting me know, Mario!

James Bacon has a good article for those that are receiving the Could Not Download the Silverlight Application error... good reference material!

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    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.
