From:

András Velvárt has an Expression Blend/WP7 post up discussing WP7 orientation changes and handling them via Visual States... see an example from his SurfCube app, and a behavior to handle the control... with source.

WIndowsPhoneGeek has a post up discussing the WP7 Performance bar from the Windows Phone Toolkit. This is an update on the Toolkit based on the Feb 2011 release. Great explanation of the PerformanceProgressBar, external links, and sample code.

Next WindowsPhoneGeek has a post up about the PhoneHelper in the Coding4Fun TOolkit, and using it to get data out of the WMAppManifest easily. Good discussion, Links, and code as always

In Jesse Liberty's "Windows Phone From Scratch" number 41, he's discussing Unit Testing for WP7... he gives some good external links and some good examples.

Jesse Liberty's next post is his "Yet Another Podcast" number 27, and an interview with Paul Betts, the creator of Reactive UI... check out the podcast and also the good links listed.

Victor Gaudioso has a new video tutorial up on using the Fluid Move Behavior... making a selected item animate from a ListBox to a Master Details Grid.

Kunal Chowdhury takes a break from SilverlightZone long enough to write a post about Application Library Caching... for example on-demand loading of a 3rd-party XAP.

Jeremy Likness has his 13th post of a series in understanding his Jounce MVVM framework up. This episode surrounds a new release and what it contains, the primary focus being navigation parameters... that is you can raise a navigation event with a payload.

Michael Crump digs into the performance wizard for Silverlight that we get with VS2010 SP1. He shows how to get and read a profile... great intro to a new tool.

Dhananjay Kumar demonstrates reading an XML file using LINQ to XML and binding the result to a Silverlight DataGrid

Stay in the 'Light!
