Basic customizations of the DataGrid

Martin Mihaylov has a great article up about customizations that can be done to the DataGrid... this is a continuation of a series he has started focusing on the datagrid... good stuff, Martin!

.aspx)

Bart Czernicki has an interesting artile on the game concept model in general. If you're interested in SL and Gaming, this would be a good read.

James Bacon reports that site... and I'll say!... This is almost the XAP Wall that Tim Heuer was asking about the other day... very cool!

Joseph Ghassan has an example of converting a number to text and displaying in Silverlight... interesting idea:)

Farseer, Far-Easier: Physics Helper for Blend and Silverlight

Andy Beaulieu has an Alpha version of what he's calling "Physics Helper" out to give the rest of us mere mortals access to the Farseer Physics code that he and Bill Reiss and others are so comfortable with.

How to: Make Innerglows with Expression Blend

Scott Barnes walks us carefully through creating an Inner Glow effect in Expression Blend... very nice, Scott!

Silverlight Tip of the Day #40: 1.05!= 1.05 - Peril with Floating Point Comparisons.

Mike Snow gives us a big caution and example of floating point comparison issues.

Silverlight vs Flash: Kaleidoscope

Terence Tsang tackled the Kaleidoscope this time out... runs very smoothly to my eyes...

Throwing Together An Application

Jesse Liberty walks through the construction of a simple stopwatch application. One of the cooler parts of this is, the app is for the Mac... so he built it in Silverlight...:)

Stay in the 'Light!

    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
