In this issue: Ken Cox, Damon Payne, Dean Chalk, Colin Eberhardt, and Jesse Liberty.

Shoutouts:

David Anson has the ultimate collection of articles on Silverlight Charts on his site, unless you search SilverlightCream that is:) My new home page, expanded [Updated collection of great Silverlight Charting resources!]

Walt Ritscher has two new entries up in his Reflecting on Design series: Reflecting on Design #4 and Reflecting on Design #5... not to mention Walt's excellent header for his page... I've always liked that!

Walt also blogged about a cool WPF app for pulling images up to use in your work: Ginipic - Dockable WPF Picture Integration Tool

I'm putting Mike Snow's latest tip out here because (IMHO) it's more a VS thing than a SL thing, but they are related: Silverlight Tip of the Day #90 – How to Edit your CSPROJ File from VS

From:

Ken Cox has posted all the code for his excellent Silverlight Data Form series. He does a little forensics on the overal project, and thanks for the shoutout Ken!

Build an Image HotSpot Designer in Silverlight

Damon Payne has a submittal up for the Write and Win contest, and it's a very cool HotSpot Designer... if you don't know what that is, check out his article... well, ok, even if you DO know what it is:)

Dean Chalk has another post up and this one is on a Filter control for a Silverlight DataGrid. This might be close to what I'm needing for the Silverlight Cream search!

I found this by way of and is a post by Colin Eberhardt that is not to be missed. Just saying adding a crosshair to a Silverlight Chart is one thing... seeing that thing work is an altogether different... this is seriously cool! And yeah, the code is avaiable, too:)

New Tutorial: DataGrid Binding via Data Entities & WCF

Jesse Liberty has his latest tutorial up in C#, VB, HTML and PDF... what more could you ask?? Another great detailed tutorial, thanks Jesse!

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.
