Silverlight Extenders

Steve Commisso is a local (Phoenix) developer and sent me this link to some extenders he has done that are very cool. Dragging, rotating, resizing, etc... very useful and I look forward to watching your blog for more:)... thanks Steve!

Silverlight Girl shows us how to create a shadow effect in Expression Blend... this is pretty cool... almost like a 'glow' background... and if you haven't checked out her site, do so... she's done a great job on it!

Posting login credentials to your Silverlight app

Tim Greenfield discusses and demonstrates adding a secure login with credentials to your Silverlight app... useful to all of us!

Run time is design time for AGT [3]

Continuing with Damon Payne's series, here is the 4th [as any good developer, he started at zero:)] In this one he's laying out some more of his underlying structures, such as his IToolboxService.

I don't remember where I found Agata Staniak's blog, but she's got a great series started here on Basics... if you're new to the party, these are a good place to begin. If you're not new, scan them to see if there's some subtelty you've forgotten:)

Agata Staniak's second post... Hello World and what all happens between here and there... lots of details... very cool:)

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.
