In this article Braulio Diez gives the answer to one usual question for a lot of new Silverlight developers - "The XAP file takes about 5 Mb, will that be a problem once the app (an internet facing one) is on production?". (more)

ViewModel Pattern for Silverlight - Options for Hooking a View to its Model - Nikhil Kothari

published 889 days, 10 hours, 49 minutes ago posted by jantujantu 891 days, 16 hours, 37 minutes ago
Monday, December 14, 2009 3:52:23 PM GMT Saturday, December 12, 2009 10:04:09 AM GMT
There are multiple ways to associate a View to its Model - for example, using a ViewModelLocator, or perhaps a convention-based approach I am thinking of implementing. What are your thoughts and opinions? I'm looking for feedback to improve Silverlight.FX, and potentially make suggestions to Blend/Cider teams for future ViewModel support... (more)

This part of of the series explaining how BugCamSmash was made is truly the quiet before the storm.  The tipping point before the big finale.  In part 1, we created a bug we could smash with a rock.  In part 2, we gave the bug the ability to crawl towards a location specified by a mouse click (to be then smashed with a rock). In this part, we will cover giving the bugs their own will to move and making sure they are not too coordinated in their movements.Giving the Bugs some direction Now that the bugs ... (more)

Monday, December 14, 2009 3:52:23 PM GMT Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:16:17 PM GMT
A customer contacted me a few days ago asking whether there was an easy way to make the Silverlight/WPF WrapPanel use all available space to spread its children out evenly instead of bunching them up against each other as it usually does. Instead of trying to explain what I mean by that, please have a look at the top half of the following screen shot:The default WrapPanel behavior fills each horiz... (more)

Opening up Silverlight 4 Navigation: Event-based and Error-Handling INavigationContentLoaders - David Poll

Monday, December 14, 2009 3:52:23 PM GMT Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:29:06 PM GMT
Last week, I gave an introduction to INavigationContentLoader, a Silverlight 4 Beta SDK extensibility point that allows you to load arbitrary content in conjunction with the Silverlight navigation feature, and walked you through building a Typename-based content loader.  That’s all well and good, but it’s an awful lot of work to go to in order to build a simple INavigationContentLoader (following the async pattern, fully implementing the interface, etc.).  Sometimes, all you really want to do is handle a...

Field Level Access with RIA Services - Brad Abrams

There are lots of reason you may need to customize the access to given fields within an entity.  For example, HIPPA compliance requires that some data not be exposed to only employees with a need to know.   It is often not sufficient to just NOT show the data in the Silverlight client, you need to not even send it over the wire.This example works with Silverlight 4\RIA Services Beta and Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 I built a very simple RIA Services + Silverlight 4 ...

The WPF text team has seen some people get confused about what units WPF uses when measuring text. Samer, a developer on the WPF text team, and I have created this post to try and shed some light on this subject. The first part of this post is very straight forward, whereas the end will only be useful for those of you who are extensively using WPF text APIs. (more)

Localization with RIA Services and Silverlight

Hopefully there will be an easier way of getting localization to work with RIA services soon, but at least it can be done. Here's what you need to do: In your server side project (the web project) add a resource file in a folder called resources.   In your client-side (silverlight) project you will also need to add a folder called resources. Right click the new folder and select "Add existing item". Navigate to your web project folder and select both the "Resources.resx" and "Resources.Designer.cs"... (more)

Does Silverlight 4 really use .Net 4 assemblies?

published 893 days, 12 hours, 1 minute ago posted by http://vistadb.myopenid.com/http://vistadb.myopenid.com/ 895 days, 3 hours, 48 minutes ago

I have gotten a lot of questions from Silverlight users wanting to know if VistaDB will be able to load in Silverlight 4.  This would be a great thing if you could actually have a client side database in a Silverlight app.  I still am not 100% convinced this is a good idea in most circumstances, but for offline Silverlight apps this would definitely make sense.  It would allow you to store data locally in isolated storage on the users machine, and then send it to the server when they next are online.

Will Silverlight 4 ICommand support simplify using commands in Prism?

Tuesday, December 08, 2009 5:32:38 PM GMT Monday, December 07, 2009 2:54:20 PM GMT
As I thought this is a question that could interest many people, instead of answering this question directly in the Prism codeplex forum I decided to create a short blog post and answer it here.The answer is “kind of”. Silverlight 4 Beta, so far, only supports binding commands to controls that inherit from ButtonBase (Button and HyperlinkButton), as you can read in Tim’s and Mike’s posts.Therefore, if you are using Prism, these are the things that you will not need any more, and those that you will:No l...
