Jesse Liberty announced The Great Silverlight Competency Test – #4

Dan Wahlin is going to be giving a virtual presentation on Wednesday: LIDNUG: Building Silverlight Applications using the MVVM Pattern - Dan Wahlin... dang, I'm going to be in transit at that time:(


From:

Titan fought his way through and figured out how to clear out cookies in WP7... read his post to see what this has to do with Facebook:)

Brad Tutterow has a post up that sort of begins where mine ended and fully explains the Content vs Resource indicator for images in WP7

Responding to a Forum question, Paul Patterson put together another of his Lightswitch tutorials, this one sending email from Lightswitch!

Ryan Alford has a very nice Blend tutorial up on Animation using VSM and Behaviors... definitely worth the time to go through it.

James Ashley has part 3 of his "Patterns of Windows Phone Architecture" series up, and is talking about the Satellite ViewModel

This post by priozersk is a discussion about the need for a combobox in WP7... check it out and see if you agree.

priozersk's second post is a follow-on to the previous one about comboboxes on WP7 and a possible altenative: Picker Boxes... grab the code and try it out.

Jay Kimble has a post up describing a T4 Template he wrote that auto-builds your ViewModelLocator class. Be sure to read the entire post to understand how to use it.

Rishi has an nRoute post up elaborating on his SiteMaps with which he can "dynamically assemble parts of the application and compose the application UI at runtime".

Harry Fairhead has a 3-pager up on the classic snakes game on WP7... surprised I haven't seen one of these yet... looks good, so grab the source and give it a dance.

It's been a while since Dave Campbell's name appeared in here, but if you're having trouble getting your ApplicationBar icons to appear, this post will show you the error of your ways:) [or the error of the document's ways in my case]

Chris Rouw investigates why he had problems getting his login textbox to get the focus when his Silverlight LOB app started, and wrote up his conclusions for all of us.

Jesse Liberty has his next tutorial up in the series of iPhone to WP7. This one is on lists and details and don't let the iPhone part of this confuse you... good solid WP7 stuff here sports fans!

Stay in the 'Light!
