Should I use HTML5 or Silverlight? One man's opinion. - Scott Hanselman

published 742 days, 2 hours, 18 minutes ago posted by

Steves 746 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes ago

I was in Belgium and The Netherlands this last week presenting and talking to folks in the community. After I presented on ASP.NET MVC 3, HTML5 and jQuery, one fellow came up after and said, "Should I use Silverlight or HTML5. I don't understand what Microsoft's strategy is or what to use in my app." Since I work for the Web Platform and Tools team (ASP.NET, IIS, etc) I spend a lot of time working, coding, and thinking about the web. However, I'm not an official strategist, or marketing guy. But I do h... (more)

Silverlight 5 Beta Rough Notes–Hardware Decoded H.264 - Mike Taulty's Blog

published 748 days, 14 hours, 31 minutes ago posted by

Steves 749 days, 12 hours, 27 minutes ago

Note: these are early notes based on some initial experiments with the Silverlight 5 beta, apply a pinch of salt to what you read. This is a simple one – I’d read that Silverlight 5 could now do hardware decoding of H.264 encoded video on Windows so I thought I’d give that a try. I wanted a 1080p video so I did a quick search and came up with http://www.h264info.com/clips.html (I’ve no idea of the legality of these video clips by the way) and I downloaded the trailer for “The Bourne Ultimatum”).

IMage: Dynamic Types to Simplify Property Change Notification in Silverlight 4 and 5 - Jeremy Likness

published 751 days, 5 hours, 42 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 752 days, 22 hours, 36 minutes ago

The biggest problem with data-binding is the requirement to implement the INotifyPropertyChange interface. There are dozens of solutions out there that try to simplify the process with techniques ranging from parsing lambda expressions and walking the stack frame to using IL weaving to modify classes at compile time. The most popular approach is to derive from a base class and call a base method to handle the event. The frustration often comes from mapping data objects that don't implement the interf... (more)

Binding to Dynamic Properties with ICustomTypeProvider (Silverlight 5 Beta) - Silverlight SDK - Alexandra Rusina

published 754 days, 17 hours, 53 minutes ago posted by

Nickolay 755 days, 19 hours, 27 minutes ago

Silverlight 5 Beta introduces a new ICustomTypeProvider interface that enables data binding to objects the structure of which cannot be known until runtime. This is a common problem when you work with data in any format from databases to metadata or XML files to JSON objects. New attributes or new columns can be added over time and prior to Silverlight 5 you needed to update and recompile your source code if you wanted to show this new data through data binding in a Silverlight application. With ICustom... (more)

Implicit Data Templates (Silverlight 5) - Jesse Liberty

published 759 days, 12 hours, 29 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 760 days, 9 hours, 38 minutes ago

A new feature in Silverlight 5 is the Implicit Data Template, which allows you to target a data template for a specific data type. Thus, you might create a class hierarchy of Messages, Direct Messages and Replies (with the latter two derived from the first) and then modify how they are displayed in, e.g., a list box, based on the type of the message.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." [WebBrowserExtensions.StringSource attached dependency property makes Silverlight/Windows Phone/WPF's WebBrowser control more XAML- and binding-friendly] - David Anson

Alex 765 days, 12 hours, 52 minutes ago

The WebBrowser control is available in Silverlight 4, Windows Phone 7, and all versions of WPF. It's mostly the same everywhere, though there are some specific differences to keep in mind when using it on Silverlight-based platforms. WebBrowser offers two ways to provide its content: by passing a URI or by passing a string with HTML text: If you have a URI, you can set the Source (dependency) property in code or XAML or you can call the Navigate(Uri) method from code...

Working with User Names and Roles in Silverlight Applications - Dan Wahlin

Alex 765 days, 14 hours, 36 minutes ago

Security is a key component of applications and something that developers often struggle with to get right. How do you authenticate a user? How do you integrate roles and use them to show or hide different parts of a screen? These and other questions commonly come up as I talk with developers working on ASP.NET and Silverlight applications. I was recently presenting a workshop on Silverlight at the DevConnections conference in Orlando and had a question from the audience on how I handle security roles ... (more)

Four months ago, in December 2010, we held the Silverlight Firestarter in Redmond - an entire event dedicated just to Silverlight, with great speakers from inside Microsoft and from the Silverlight community. In that event's keynote, Scott Guthrie showed off some of the plans we have for Silverlight 5 (as well as the secret location of his tattoo). In today's keynote at MIX11, Scott Guthrie expanded on that. I'm proud to announce that today we have shipped Silverlight 5 Beta... (more)

At the MIX11 conference Scott Guthrie announced the availability of Silverlight 5 Beta. I suppose this doesn’t come at a surprise to most as this is now a regular annual occurrence. In fact it is almost exactly a year ago when Silverlight 4 was released. The team has been working very hard to deliver on the features we discussed at the Silverlight Firestarter event last December 2010. That was a flurry of revealing that happened in December showing the world what the Silverlight team has been working... (more)

Creating a Markup Extension for MEF with Silverlight 5 - Jeremy Likness

published 765 days, 15 hours, 20 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 766 days, 8 hours, 12 minutes ago

One exciting new feature of Silverlight 5 is the ability to create custom markup extensions. Markup extensions are a part of XAML. Whenever you see a notation that starts and ends with a brace, you are viewing a markup extension. Markup extensions exist to pass information to properties in the XAML that the XAML parser can use when generating the object graph. A commonly used example of markup extensions is the data-binding syntax. In the following XAML snippet, the data-binding uses a markup extensi... (more)

Silverlight, HttpWebRequest, HTTP Stacks and the UI Thread - Mike Taulty's Blog

published 783 days, 6 hours, 18 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 783 days, 14 hours, 4 minutes ago

This one comes from a customer who thought that they were seeing an issue in using the browser HTTP stack in Silverlight to make lots of HTTP requests. The issue seemed to be that the stack was blocking the UI thread and causing the UI to stutter. The suspicion was that the blocking was occurring while data was being read from the stream that is handed back to you when you’re reading an HTTP response. I thought I’d see if I could reproduce this behaviour myself and so I set out to put something togethe... (more)

Over the last week there has been a lot of confusion/concern about Silverlight that occurred from an interview given at the PDC conference last week.

You can read his post here. Three of the things that he explicitly said in the interview (and which were reported in the article - but unfortunately lost in t... (more)
