Shoutouts:

From:

Brian Genisio continues his MVVM discussion with this post on reacting to a ListBox item selection without using codebehind. Can't think of any ways? Brian has 3:)

As Bob Bartholomay explains in the title, he wanted to get a reference to a FrameworkElement that was created dynamically and animated, but found no way to get that reference. But... using Attached Properties he was able to resolve the puzzle.

Seema Ramchandani responds to questions about creating LOTS of shapes with some good information about how to do so and still retain some manner of speed.

Nigel Sampson discusses the reason behind the fact we can't bind to Behaviors, and how this is different from WPF. He references and article by Pete Blois and how pre-planning will help you decide your approach.

Stay in the 'Light!
