WindowsPhoneGeek's latest is on using the LongListSelector from the Toolkit and dynamically updating it with data... detailed guidelines and plenty of pictures and code as always.

John Papa has Silverlight TV number 77 up and is chatting with Aaron Oneal, program manager of the Silverlight 3D efforts... too cool.

Mike Taulty wrote this post in Silverlight 5 Beta, but says it should be fine in 4... a continuation of his HTML Content display using the WebBrowser control while offline

Erno de Weerd discusses the Pivot control in WP7 based on his attempts to use it in an app.

Stephen Price has a new post at XAML Source... first is this one on setting the required attribute and the troubles you can get into if it's not set correctly

Chris Rouw has Part 3 of his series on Storing files in SQL Server using FILESTREAM Storage in SQL Server 2008 and Silverlight... this time he's viewing files stored in the FILESTREAM from the LOB app.

Peter Kuhn has Part 4 of his series on getting ready for the WP7 exam up at SilverlightShow... the date is coming up soon... are you ready?

Damian Schenkelman has a Silverlight 5 Beta post up... digging into the XAML Markup Extensions and popping out a RootBindingExtensionthat helps bind to a property in a view model from a DataTemplate.

Michael Washington has a cool tutorial up on his new LightSwitch Help Website... File Upload to a server file system using LightSwitch, plus a project to download... good stuff!

Manas Patnaik's latest post is about the Media Player Project... some of the history of media with Silvelight and how to go about using the Media Player Project bits

Stay in the 'Light!
