Shawn Wildermuth posted PHP toolkit for ADO.NET Data Services...And My XBox Demo... how cool is that?

Tim Heuer posted that he uploaded to the Expression Gallery... you HAVE been watching that, right?


From:

Pencho Popadiyn has another good post up at SilverlightShow, this one giving the code enabling us to use all the color names... or make up your own... oh wait, that would be confusing:)

Most discussion of Behaviors heavily involves Blend, but Andy Beaulieu discusses adding them programmatically, and of course, he's talking Physics Behaviors too:) He's got lots of good links on that post if you want to check out what all the buzz is about.

If you want another or a fresh look at.NET RIA Services, check out Vikram Pendse's blogpost. This is part 1 and is a nice starter tutorial.

Erik Mork at Sparkling Client Podcast has Jesse Liberty up talking about element to element binding.

I thought I had posted this already but no, I'd just played with the demo:)... another cool Farseer Physics example from Gavin Wignall

It looks like Gavin Wignall has some competition in the "Let's Play with Andy Beaulieu's Physics code" area:)... John Bruin has a no-code demo up and all the source too!

This is an equal-opportunity post: WPF and Silverlight, but it's all MVVM, so hits most of us where we live. Brian Genisio then mixes in a bit of Prism to get some cleaner code.

How about some real-world discussion of Silverlight LOB apps from someone that's been writing them: Dan Wahlin

If you've had trouble with performance with multiple WCF calls, check out Tomasz Janczuk's post and be sure to read the last paragraph as well.

Matthias Shapiro has a tutorial up using RelativeSourceBinding that styles a ListBox to contain checkboxes or radiobuttons... put that in your toolkit!

Stay in the 'Light!
