July 21, 2009 · 2 min read

In this Issue: Silverlight SDK, David Poll, Jesse Liberty(2), Scott Marlowe, Brad Abrams(2), and Katrien De Graeve(2).

Shoutouts:

Hannes Preishuber shows how to find the Silverlight 2 Design surface in VS2008:.

Josh Santangelo was involved in Project Tuva and he has a bunch of good info up:.

On July 30th, Brad Abrams is going to give a Virtual talk at the Linked.NET User's Group on all the goodness he's been blogging: LIDNUG: Silverlight Ready for Business and.NET RIA Services Presentation.

Remember Scott Guthrie's awesome 'gratuitous' demo at MIX? Well, Tim Heuer has it for us!

From:

If you've hit F1 expecting to find SL3 help, you're disappointed, but Wolf Schmidt at Silverlight SDK has come to the rescue with a workaround

David Poll continues his investigation and demonstration into breaking an app up into multiple assemblies and loading them on-demand...

Jesse Liberty has some great diagrams up explaining the validation process in Silverlight 3... looks like a good reference!

If you're trying to ease into Easing (sorry Jesse)... Jesse Liberty has another diagram-filled post that describes what the fuss is all about.

Scott Marlowe gives a good walkthrough of the steps involving all 3 ways he's described of hosting a WCF Service app.

If you've been waiting to look at MEF because, well, you know... you're doing Silverlight... Brad Abrams has a great example up of using MEF in Silverlight, so now there are no excuses:)

Katrien De Graeve is still on Composition screens in SketchFlow, but now is discussing Navigation between them.

Katrien De Graeve discusses SketchFlow States this time, which give more interaction to the prototype, and the reviewers get this goodness with very little effort on your part.

Here's the missing Part 7 of Brad Abrams' series, and is on using an ADO.NET Data Service rather than EF or LINQ to SQL.

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.
