Silverlight Cream for September 29, 2009 -- #700

In this Issue: Colin Eberhardt, Boyan Mihaylov, Silverlight SDK, Christopher Bennage, Stephen Forte, Jacek Ciereszko, Jesse Liberty, and Mark Tucker.


I'm still at least 2 days behind, but the crunch is over, so now I can maybe catch up. From:

Colin Eberhardt is sharing some of the code he uses regularly by way of Extension Methods to Show/Hide animations, and boy that demo works great... thanks Colin!

Put this one down in the list for ones to bookmark, Boyan Mihaylov is starting a series on building a skinnable custome control... and this part 1 looks great!

The Silverlight SDK has a link up to the WPF and Silverlight Designer Extensibility Samples... don't stop at their page, check out the MSDN page... lots of good stuff in there.

Caliburn deserves a second look if you haven't yet... check out Christopher Bennage's post about saving files from Silverlight and how that's handled in Caliburn.

Stephen Forte has a nice quick walkthrough of lashing a WCF service up to Silverlight... for some reason I've not been following him, but I am now!

[Behaviors] TextBox Enter Button Invoke (TargetedTriggerAction)

Jacek Ciereszko has a blog at GWB that I haven't seen before, this first post I'm blogging about is a Targetted Trigger action... for example hitting enter on the text in a search box and having it fire the search button... very cool, and if you want, there's a Polish version as well!

Jesse Liberty has up part 3 of 3 of a series on using Entity Frameworks and.NET RIA Services and since I'm running behind, this also includes a pretty cool back-and-forth between Jesse and Ward Bell in the comments:)

Mark Tucker took a side excursion during his game development, so I'll take it as well to point out his post on building a base class for custom Behaviors.

Stay in the 'Light!
