Silverlight Cream for April 09, 2010 -- #835

In this Issue: Tim Heuer, smartyP, and Kevin Moore.

From:

Tim Heuer has a post up using XNA on WP7 to hook up sound to a 'normal' Silverlight WP7 app... so there ya go!

smartyP acknowledges that he said he was done with the Pivot control for WP7 and yes he realizes we're most likely going to get one from Microsoft, but just like the rest of us, he just couldn't leave it alone:)

I found this via by Rudi Grobler, and it points at Kevin Moore's Bag of Tricks Update for Silverlight 4 and WPF... just the fact that Robby Ingebretsen is using it means we should all rush to CodePlex and absorb it:)

Stay in the 'Light!
