In this Issue: Matthias Shapiro, Nigel Sampson, Shawn Wildermuth, and Brad Abrams.

Lots of Shoutouts Today:

Jesse Liberty expounds on CodeRush and the advantages it gives him while coding: Mini-Review of Code Rush

Jesse also posted this one: Carousel Video Posted – Parts 1 and 2... so go to Silverlight.net and check them out.

I skipped mentioning this yesterday, but Ben Waggoner not only is blogging about it, but he's involved in it: Tesco and Silverlight delivering the full disc experience without a disc... pretty cool stuff!

Laurent Bugnion announced he has New articles about the MVVM Light Toolkit V1.1.1, and don't forget the Get Started Page and Installation Instructions (also linked out there).

Tim Heuer blogged about an app done by ProModel using DevForce Silverlight:

I'd have jumped on this post by Davide Zordan quicker if it wasn't about a tool that is pretty expensive. If your company buys you toys, check it out:

Davide also reports that the Multi-Touch Drag and Zoom Behaviors previously posted are not in the Expression Gallery:

Michael Washington's Silverlight Bridge hit SilverlightShow today: Silverlight Bridge - A Silverlight File Manager


From:

Matthias Shapiro has a new post up today on Custom Controls and details the five steps necessary to create a 'Part' for the control... as in control template parts...

Nigel Sampson is starting a series on MVVM and the series will be focused on keeping things 'Blendable'... in other words, it won't break the designer/developer chain of events. This first post he sets the stage with some code then has a webcast of the Blend portion...

Shawn Wildermuth is discussing the Projections feature of ADO.NET Data Services, and yes he's using it in Silverlight... be aware this is a CTP and as such, he acknowledges an issue that was commented on by Mike Flasko.

Brad Abrams has a follow-on article about his Silverlight Navigation/MEF post after reading comments and a bunch of discussion. He's modified it to follow more of a web-like user Model, Loose Coupling, and Built-In Authentication... and as always, we got source!

Stay in the 'Light!
