Michael Washington's latest is up


From:

Michael Washington's latest LightSwitch tutorial is up and is almost like a back to the basics tutorial on lashing up to your database with LightSwitch

Tony Champion's got another Silverlight 5 RC/PivotViewer post up talking about some controls he found exposed in the tools and how we could go about using them.

Ollie Riches' latest is a tour de force of displaying currency correctly in every language supported by WP7.1, and along the way, how he figured out what was supported.

Gill Cleeren has Part 5 of his LightSwitch tutorial series up at SilverlightShow... tackling Security and Deployment topics

Koen Zwikstra posts about the Silverlight 5 RC release and goes everyone better with lists of differences between versions

Koen Zwikstra also announced the release of a September 2011 update to Silverlight Spy that adds support for WP7.1 and Silverlight 5 RC.

Peter Kuhn announced a WP7 on-demand training site he opened today... and the first 2 sessions not only won't cost you anything, but you don't even need a login!

Xianzhong Zhu has posted the 4th part to the 'PushBox' WP7 game... supposedly a migration from Andriod to WP7, but excellent write-up on WP7 all on its own. This time really getting into the Silverlight part

Mike Taulty is jumping into the SL5 RC blogpost arena starting with this one on Platform Invocation... and he's not beeping the speaker either... how about a list of running processes... with code

Pete Brown's latest is on Tasks in Silverlight 5 and how they help simplify the Async problems we all have

Sumit Dutta's Part 7 in his WP7 series is this one on passing data between pages using OnNavigatedTo

Sumit Dutta's Part 8 is also on passing data between WP7 pages, but this one is done OnNavigatedFrom

Asim Sajjad continues with his last post about data pagers with this one on binding inside CellTemplate of a DataGrid to give the user some feedback

Dhananjay Kumar has a short post up on setting the start page of a WP7 app dynamically

Dhananjay Kumar's latest has to do with WP7 pages as well, but this one is on getting the url of the page on which content is currently displayed.

Stay in the 'Light!
