From:
Michael Washington has a follow-up post on RIA Tasks -- and this one is addressing Dynamic View Models and is a great long tutorial also describing ViewModel Communication... grab the code for this one! - thanks Michael:)
Jim Lynn has a post up describing changing the background of each grid row. I thought the way he did it was the easy way but then he produced a Behavior to do it... that's another to add to the big bag-o-tricks.
Martin Duffy has just what you're looking for: a detailed 3-part tutorial on the Pivot control, and he's pounding it into an app as a search page... just what I had in mind! -- this first one is getting everyone up-to-speed on what Pivot is.
In Martin Duffy's second tutorial, he's discussing producing the Pivot collection, and he's talking right to us that have large collections of data that don't necessarily have images stored with them... and you're going to need that for Pivot.
In the 3rd tutorial, Martin Duffy has the control in an app, and discusses deployment, and possible enhancements... give it a try, it works great!
Jonas Follesø presented at NDC2010, on WP7, and has not only all his material from the presentation up on this post, but other information to get you going with wp7dev.
Ofir Shemesh has a code-laden post up implementing a double-click trigger that you can use on any UIElement
Karl Shifflett is discussing and demonstrating non-linear navigation in Silverlight... you can read his references but essentially it amounts to how we all work... start something, get distracted by taking a rabbit trail here and there, but eventually get back to what you were doing before.
Sergey Barskiy had a need to implement double-clicks inside a datagrid and oops, you can't do that... so he worked it out. Yeah, it's non-standard, but I'm doing it in datagrids in webforms... it just feels right... go grab the behavior code and give it a dance.
Chris Klug has a big post up an Push Notifications in WP7... good long discussion and code included plus external links to good info.
Stay in the 'Light!
