In this Issue: Erik Mork, András Velvárt, Don Burnett, Dan Wahlin, Brad Abrams, Imran Shaik, and Andrew Myhre.

Shoutout:

Terence Tsang has the alpha of his Resource Directory running and I think it looks great: Silverlight Resource Directory - alpha

From:

Erik Mork's latest SparklingClient podcast is up and he's talking MEF with none other than the man you'd want to... Glenn Block!

András Velvárt continues in his "Discovering Silverlight 3" series with this one on GPU Acceleration... let him show you when and how to use it to your best advantage.

I know this post by Don Burnett isn't Silverlight, but it IS SketchFlow and WPF and Games and it's a great tutorial on top of all that

Dan Wahlin shows how to avoid errors in Blend at design time by checking to see if it is in a designer using the DesignerProperties class.

Brad Abrams is hacking and slashing this time, removing the MyApp.Web project and inserting an ASP.NET MVC project...

Imran Shaik works around the problem of ContentPresenter not having the foreground property you want to change. He gives two ways to accomplish it anyway.

Andrew Myhre had a problem recently opening a SL3 project that had worked fine on a different machine... turns out it was embedded fonts... check out why.

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
