In this Issue: Erno de Weerd, Colin Eberhardt, Thanigainathan Siranjeevi, Stefan Olson(2), Dan Wahlin, Chris Klug, and Alex Golesh.

Shoutouts:

Tim Greenfield has entered the NewCloudApp Windows Azure contest with a Silverlight app and asks us to Look what Silverlight can do... for now he has his submittal, a cool jigsaw puzzle, but he promises to write all about it.

From:

Erno de Weerd blogged this and it's been picked up by others. If you're blogging on WordPress, now you can embed your Silverlight... of course my client has WordPress blocked, but that's not your problem:)

Colin Eberhardt has an example up using a control he creates to display Brownian motion of 50 objects. This end-to-end example should give you a good understanding of exposing Bindings as properties and then using them.

Thanigainathan Siranjeevi shows a quick-up app using the Bing API to get translation running in an application. I didn't know Bing did that!

In this update to Stefan Olson's custom routing he explains an exception if the navigation is cancelled and how changing the way the cancellation is done will resolve the problem.

Stefan Olson fills in some blanks for us in the Navigation architecture by providing and describing an AuthenticationUriMapper based on the Custom URI Mapper he's been describing in other posts.

Dan Wahlin takes a shot at helping us shift our paradigm to thinking about data rather than controls. It's the binding, man:)

Chris Klug has part 3 of his flickrViewR up and posted and this one ties it all together. Through the power of MVVM he has no code in the CodeBehind, so if you're trying to wrap your head around it, this is a good real-world example.

Alex Golesh quickly demonstrates the enhancements to Styles in SL3B that have the rest of us smiling, such as Based On which lets us inherit styles... what a relief:)

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.
