In this Issue: Rui Marinho, Danijel Stulic, Jesse Liberty, Bill Reiss, Evgeny, Chris Klug, Brad Abrams, and Page Brooks.

Shoutout:

Mike Harsh reports Slidentity Updated for Silverlight 3 RTW... if you haven't seen this, now is a good time... very cool!

Terence Tsang is getting overrun with XAML snippets [no wonder:) ] and is working on an idea for an app to help him organize his resources: Silverlight Resources Directory. He's also looking for input for you!

From:

Rui Marinho does a Visualization demo with SL3 and Bing Maps the post is in English and Portuguese but the screencast is in Portuguese... English text over the images make it easy to follow and is a very cool visualization example.

Alexey Zakharov digs into WCF in TDD environments and shows how to get that all accomplished.

Danijel Stulic gives a great full-up example of assembly caching in SL3, including external references to posts by Tim Heuer and Alex Golesh.

Jesse Liberty continues with his investigation and demonstration of SL3 features with the Navigation framework this time... good intro material for this subject!

Bill Reiss has a post up detailing the various methods of developing Silverlight Games including Silverlight and XNA, and don't forget Bill's SilverSprite library... it's FREE!

Evgeny has Part 2 of his series as well. This one is more for control designers or developers doing their own controls and being proactive on extensibility by making them easier to use at Design time.

Chris Klug continues with Part 2 of his series concentrating on data binding and validation.

In this latest episode, Brad Abrams removes the Entity Framework model and uses DataSets to access the data.

If you're building controls you probably already know this, but Page Brooks explains that the ItemContainerGenerator is part of Silverlight 3 now and the TreeView control even uses it.

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.
