Shoutouts:
My friends at SilverlightShow made their top 5 from last week available:
From:
Tony Champion added a new lesson to his "PivotViewer Lessons" on Codeplex... this one is on how to change the font in the filter pane... responding to a question he gets from readers.
Oren Gal beefed up his previous mapping demo with this one using 'reverse geocoding'... in other words, calculates the latitude/longitude of a point from the current projection and sends the info to a locator task, then updating an address on the page... great stuff, Oren!
David Catuhe sent me a link to his blog... looks like he's cranking some good stuff up over there... first up (for me) is this one on Silverlight 5 Beta's Dynamic properties, and backs it up with somee good code samples.
Anuj Seth sent me this link... you gotta check out the images he has posted... then read the post as to how they tracked this down... pretty interesting stuff, and if you've got a solution, let him know! and while you're at it, check out their "GraphiteCharts" home page... those charts look pretty good!... and if you can live with a watermark, you can score a license.
In case you missed it, during MIX11, Shawn Wildermuth released his PhoneyTools V1.0 for WP7. Since then there has been some maintenance releases and it's now up to 1.03 and it's on NuGet... Check out his post for all the features.
Jeff Prosise continues his Silverlight 5 Beta posts with this one on the RichTextBoxOverflow... which makes it easy to do newspaper-style layouts with Rich Text... letting text spill from one control into another.
Jeff Prosise's next post is on the Silverlight 5 Beta's Style Data Binding... allowing you to use data binding expresions to assign values to style setters.
WindowsPhoneGeek tackles the Coding4Fun Message Prompt this time out... in the manner to which we've become accustomed: great detail, pictures, code snippets, and a sample project to download.
WindowsPhoneGeek kicks his WP7 CheckedListBox post off with a video of what he intends to build then goes about doing so using 2 separate techniques... and gives us the code.
Jesse Liberty continues with his Silverlight 5 investigation with this post on RichTextBoxOverflow... seriously, one RTB can overflow into another... think multi-columns, or around pictures... cool stuff.
Jesse Liberty's next post is on Silverlight 5 Beta's Implicit Data Types... he has a 'mini tutorial' on it... code sample, explanation and external links... all good stuff.
Stay in the 'Light!
