Silverlight Cream for August 29, 2009 -- #678

In this Issue: Kirupa, Brian Genisio, Nikhil Kothari, and Al Pascual

From:

Kirupa has a great 3 page tutorial up on Behaviors... great example too!

Brian Genisio is still dealing with boilerplate pain of wiring up commands to events in MVVM, and this time comes up with a solution that requires a few caveats, but beyond that it's golden... and he provides code:)

Nikhil Kothari took a post from Tim Heuer (link on Nikhil's post) and turned it into a Behaviour... wow... cool stuff, and fun to play with!

Al Pascual backs all the way up on.NET RIA Services to what it is, where do I get it, and how do I start using it... it's time... jump in!

Stay in the 'Light!
