Shoutout:
Pete Brown was busy at MIX... not only the Hanselminutes I blogged yesterday, but also
From:
Jeff Wilcox blogs about the AutoCompleteBox in the new version of the Toolkit... and hmmm... oh it's not THERE... it's in Visual Studio and Blend as being Stable... cool:)
Jeff Wilcox highlights a couple of the enhancements to the autocomplete box which allows some code to be removed from examples... all with source of course:)
Chris Hay is digging into GPU acceleration and posted a video of his findings... when to use, etc...
Chris Hay then produced a second video showing how the GPU acceleration will revert back to CPU under some conditions... this is good to know info!
Lutz Gerhard's part 2 of his Deep Zoom series is up... this one discusses the collections and wow... details... all good stuff if you wanna be DZ'ing:)
Ed Maia has an example of animating Visibility in SL2 using ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames... no demo but a good code snippet.
Peter Bromberg has an awesome Mandelbrot fractals post up (with code) in... you guessed already!... SL3B with the WriteableBitmap... very nice Peter...
Ed Maia has a SL2 post about animating Custom Attached Properties. Quick and to the point:)
Are you familiar with the WPF Effects Library? Well Jaime Rodriguez reports that Charles Bissonette on the Blend team ported it to Silverlight... holy crap... check out the demo then go grab it at CodePlex!
The Swiss MSDN Team has a post up about the new features for the DataGrid in SL3B... check out that Cell and Row Validation!!
Lee has a very nice example of putting the slider value on the thumb and has it rounded to avoid seeing decimals as well... I like this a lot, thanks!
Amy Dullard gives some relief to anyone that's installing on multiple machines in the way of listing out what the error codes really mean, and how to resolve the problem that caused them.
Mike Snow discusses the problems associated with using floating point values for positioning objects and why you should use Integers instead, then convinces us with a couple screenshots from a game.
Jeff Prosise has an non-Blend example of easing on his site. This is a classic bouncing ball, but as he says... duplicate THAT in SL2:)
Brad Abrams talks a bit about SEO and Silverlight and.NET RIA Services then has links out to his MIX session and some other resources that are good material to get your arms around for this subject.
András Velvárt talks about the fact that we're missing a VisualBrush in Silverlight, and comes up with a possible solution. He admits it's a resource hog, but it's food for thought!
Christian Schormann has a good no-code, no-demo discussion up on Behaviours in Blend 3. He starts with what you could do in previous versions and moves on. Definitely a good read.
Ruurd Boeke has part 2 of his Accordion series up, and is a very nice tutorial on getting soe of the other details setup. He is asking for feedback, so go for it!
Stay in the 'Light!
