Shoutouts:
Karl Shifflett announced that he and Josh Smith have heard the developers and released a demo:
This is a somewhat older post, but the material is good and I was reminded of it while talking to Josh Smith at the MVP summit last week: Advanced MVVM... money well-spent
From:
Dennis Doomen unveils a Codeplex site "containing a Silverlight 4 app that includes most of the complexities you might run into"... I'm tagging this in my WynApse outlookbar... great stuff, Dennis!
Peter Kuhn took on a task in response to a forum query and created a highlighting AutoCompleteBox, and is giving it to us... this really looks cool, Peter, and great explanation.
Michael Crump takes a good look at the Mindscape Phone Elements for WP7... and if you read closely you might still be able to get a free license!
Joe McBride explains a way out of an issue that many should be seeing as we repave or replace machines... how to get our device recognized on the updated machine... without giving cryptic messages.
Martin Krüger continues his journey in starting storyboards and tackles the condition that the application is completely in the browser window prior to the storyboard starting.
Jeremy Likness came up with a great idea for numeric input for WP7... you'll smile when you see it, but what a great idea... and a NumericTextBox to go along with it.
Manas Patnaik has a post up that breaks the normal blog post or demo mold by having two tables with a relational constraint and doing CRUD operations on them. Plenty of diagrams and good information.
Select Many: Reactive Extensions’ Mother Of All Operators [Chaining]
Jesse Liberty has part 9 in his Rx series up, and is looking at SelectMany this time, and chaining calls. He's using WPF for the sample, but the goodness is all there for us Silverlight guys too.
Jesse Liberty and Jon Galloway have part 8 of their Full Stack series up... this is the MVC3, ASP.NET, Silverlight, and WP7 app development series... this time out they're putting Search in the Phone client.
WindowsPhoneGeek is discussing ResourceDictionaries in this post... beginning with What is a ResourceDictionary and continuing out through creating and using one, plus a good comment on merging.
In his next post, WindowsPhoneGeek walks us through the creation of a WatermarkedTextBox for WP7 right from the derivation from TextBox... very nice tutorial and lots of code/examples.
Stay in the 'Light!
