From:

Shawn Wildermuth tries to help us out with the version naming for WP Mango... I've been using WP7.1 to denote the tooling rather than the marketing name

Beth Massi's latest post is again on Auto-Complete boxes (as was her previous)... in this case, she's showing how to allow the user to add new entries to the Auto-Complete box.

Ryan Alford has a post up about using ISO in WP7... writing to it directly not using an ISO manager of any sort

WindowsPhoneGeek has a great tutorial up on creating a WP7.1 application theme... from 'create new application' on out... great information as always

WindowsPhoneGeek's latest is about application themes also... converting your WP7 theme to WP7.1... again.. a great information-packed tutorial.

Jeremy Likness has a Silverlight 5 Beta post up about some differences you need to be careful of when you get complacent with your Silverlight 5 Beta coding and then switch back to SL4

John Papa is joined by Dave Crawford and Tom Eddings in this Silverlight TV edition to continue the discussions he has had on Design Tips

in his latest Silverlight TV, John Papa is joined by Sundara Kumar and Mark Harper to discuss the Silverlight 5 Custom Markup Extensions

Jeff Wilcox posted about the release of the latest Windows Phone Toolkit, and listed out the highlights in this release

Mike Ormond provides a link to a great post on updating your app to WP7.1 in the marketplace and then details some points that he considers the most important

Ollie Riches announces the addition of IsCachable to the ICacheProvider in WP7Contrib with the expectation of it finding more use during the testing phase.

Ollie Riches also has a post up discussing manipulating the web browser scroll position on WP7, and along the way has some good info about JS on the WP7

Mijail Cisneros provides a HorizontalLoopingSelector to go along with the Vertical one in the toolkit... looks good, and has a snippet for using it, and the code is there to download.

Stay in the 'Light!
