From:

Kunal Chowdhury explains using a ValueConverter to set the Visibility of another control... good tutorial, lots of yummy code:)

John Papa gets together with Scott Guthrie in this week's Silverlight TV and talks about the upcoming Firestarter... not just what's going on there, but what's online as well.

Jesse Liberty has his latest "Full Stack" video up with him and Jon Galloway doing their MVC3 ASP.NET, Silverlight, and WP7 app.

Jesse Liberty also has his latest WP7 from Scratch number 7 up, adding a slider and text block to the previous version of the app.

Den Delimarsky's latest is merging his photography hobby with WP7 and is discussing his work on a FlickrUploader for WP7... and has the source for all of us!

Paul Sheriff has a post up that addresses a problem I've seen with apps from the WP7 Marketplace: dealing with orientation changes gracefully.

When Charles Petzold speaks(or writes), I make it a point to listen... and he's got a post up about playing MP3 or WMA files that you have access to over the airwaves... how cool is that?

Brad Tutterow has a couple posts up, both associated with detecting connectivity on a WP7 device... this first one is on using the NetworkInterface class to know if you've got internet access.

Brad Tutterow's latest follows the connectivity path and is about detecting changes using the NetworkAddressChanged event.

Alexander Viken posts about another awesome set of Metro Icons produced by yankoa... 209 icons*3 colors... too cool... get 'em while they're hot!

Stay in the 'Light!
