In this Issue: Andrej Tozon(2), Walt Ritscher, Chris Klug, Timmy Kokke(2), Koen Zwikstra, and Dan Wahlin.

From:

Andrej Tozon continues his Countdown discussing the ability to get to system colors with Silverlight 3B.

In his latest, Andrej Tozon discusses the Silverlight Navigation aspects of Silverlight 3B and a quick walk-through of it's use.

Walt Ritscher shows us a 'hidden' setting in Expression Encoder that allows us to turn off autoplay... to the benefit of all our readers:)

Is your XAML getting overloaded with all the stuff you want to drag from app to app? Chris Klug discusses Merged Dictionaries in Silvleright 3B and how that helps the problem.

Timmy Kokke took a break from "SilverBullet" to do a great tutorial on Styling a TreeView in Blend... definitely one to read!

Timmy Kokke gives us a good start on how to figure if you're disconnected when running OOB.

Koen Zwikstra demonstrates using a custom book control to page through an XPS document just as you would a book on your desk... and he references code on Codeplex...

Dan Wahlin has a nice post up modifying the AutoCompleteBox to act like an editable ComboBox by using a custom control template... with all the source:)

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.
