Silverlight Game Contest rules and FAQ now online

Bill announced this the other day and I held off until I could exchange email with him... looks like a good group of prizes, and should be fun considering the games we've seen so far.

Matt Berseth wasn't satisfied with his angled headers on the DataGrid, now he's replaced the default sort icons... very cool!

Silverlight - Password field no longer missing

I found this via Bill Reiss, and while Bill called it Slap your head Simple, I just laughed when I read it... go see for yourself:)

Mocking and IOC in Silverlight 2, Castle Project and Moq ports

Sean Blakemore picks up the wand from Mark Monster and takes off on Castle and Moq and actually has it all working for us... go get it!

Olympics like you've never seen them before!

There's been a bunch of Olympic posts, but Somesegar describes how all that is being done on-site, to provide the videos for us on our browsers.

And you thought the Olympic Silverlight app was Sexy?

Laurence Morony demonstrates a Silverlight app that is just for fun... take a peek at it for yourself:)

Do you know Silverlight has an inbuilt native RSS Reader?

Scott Barnes discusses the fact that building an RSS reader in Silverlight is almost as simple ass the password box up above:)

Tim Heuer talks a bit about 4 new hands-on labs now available at Silverlight.net... that's my afternoon entertainment, I think!

How to Animate a Drawing Line

While not Silverlight, the Expression Team Blog discusses animating drawing a line in WPF... and why can't someone just port that over to Silverlight, huh, huh, huh:)

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.
