In this Issue: Erik and Monica Mork, Guillaume André, Mike Taulty(2), Cameron Albert, Manish Dalal, and Michael Wolf.

Shoutouts:

Bob Thomson of Colaab and StormID.com sent me this link of a visualization they've done showing statistics for water quality in Scottland: Bob said that mapping this many polygons with JS just grinds eveything to a stop, but Silvelright... well, check it out!

Peter Dungan wrote that he has a new version up on CodePlex of. This is "A separate class that adds autoscroll functionality to the ScrollViewer. An example scenario where it would be useful would be in a drag and drop interface inside a ScrollViewer - dragging an element to the side of the window would trigger scrolling."

From:

Erik and Monica Mork have their latest Sparkling Client PodCast up with Justin Angel and Shawn Burke talking about the Toolkit and how VSM came to be.

Guillaume André has a very nice Plane Projection picture flip up on his site. The article is in French, but you can read the code... yes you can!

Mike Taulty had two posts up the last I looked. This one is an article and video of the OOB experience on the Mac. That's about as close as I'll be getting to it, but hey... it works:)

Mike Taulty's second post was on lashing up Silverlight to FlickR and producing a very nice transition from picture to picture, plus all the code for our enjoyment:)

Cameron Albert gives up a Drag and Drop manager that he developed for Perenthia... oh don't you ask what that is.. go find out:)

Manish Dalal follows up his Silverlight LOB articles with this one on the DataSource control but breaking with what we've seen lately, he jumps into the Silverlight 2 ObjectDataSource... great detailed post with lots of code.

Michael Wolf brings some of the Surface techniques he's been playing with into Silverlight with some assitance and whoa... check out that animation over an animation...how 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.
