July 8, 2009 · 1 min read

In this Issue: Tim Heuer, Qixing Zheng, Faisal, Davide Zordan, and Jeff Blankenburg(2).

Shoutout:

Microsoft started a very cool site called Thrive to help all of us keep up and retool. I'm adding this to the sidebar of WynApse.com so I can find it quickly.

From:

Tim Heuer has enhanced his FloatableWindow with input received from Karl Shifflett and others after the post hit.

[Mini-Tutorial] Blend 3: Visual Data Binding

Walking backwards through Qixing Zheng's posts, this one is a video tutorial on Sample Data and Behaviors in Blend.

In this episode, Faisal adds a UserControl to the project and then makes it his UITemplates Control that he's going to use to place all the styled and templated controls.

In a discussion that began on the forums, Davide Zordan demonstrates consuming a PHP service with Silverlight... and has not only the code but a reference back to the forum

Why didn't someone tell me about Jeff Blankenburg's 31-Days of Silverlight? This is the lead-in to the series.

Jeff Blankenburg2 Kicks off the series with a discussion of Mouse Events of all types... interesting starting point, but may as well get those out of the way:)

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.
