Silverlight Cream for November 23, 2008 -- #436

In this issue: Silverlight SDK, Nikhil Kothari, Ruurd Boeke, and David Betz.

From:

The Silverlight SDK has a good post up on why we're seeing weirdness with the F1 help since installing the Toolkit. And for those that never need help, check it out anyway:)

Nikhil Kothari has a code-laden post up about editing elements at run-time without popping another box or something... very nice user experience.

Efficiently animating items on movement

Ruurd Boeke has a cool post up about animatinng items... I've done some of that and it's always interesting... check out his textbox one:)

David Betz has a great Silverlight WCF tutorial on his site... this has been up for a while and I kept losing track of it, but I'm paying attention now... definitely a good read!

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.
