Listening to DependencyProperty changes in Silverlight « Kiener's Blog

The dependency property system is a pretty nice concept. Receiving notifications for dependency property changes on an existing object is a very common scenario in order to update my view model or the UI. This is quite easy in WPF, but Silverlight has a limited set of meta-data functionality around the dependency property system, because the DependencyPropertyDescriptor does exist in Silverlight. In order to get a workaround I found a solution in which I get notified with help of the binding system... (more)

In this article I’m going to show how you can use self tracking entities (which are new in the Entity Framework V4) in combination with Silverlight 4. I’m also going to show how to optimize self tracking entities by making an adjustment to the self tracking entities T4 template, which doesn’t only benefit Silverlight clients, but all .Net clients that make use of self tracking entities.

I ran into some issues installing the Windows Phone 7 developer tools beta this weekend on my PC. I had been cleaning up my hard drive of old installs so I likely had a bit of a mess. I had just installed a fresh copy of Expression Suite 4 Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and the Silverlight 4 Tools. I tested those and everything worked great … so far so good. (more)

MEF is a framework to extend your application and was introduced in .Net Framework 4.0 and Silverlight 4.0. Recently I got a chance to look around the MEF with Silverlight. I found it useful in various scenarios and thus thought to do something with MEF in Silverlight.   In this article I will first discuss little about the MEF framework to give you some basic knowledge on it and then will show you how to create a small HelloMEFWorld console application step-by-step. In the next article I will use it i... (more)

This blog post describes an update to the Silverlight 4 MultiBinding technique I blogged about a couple of months ago to add support for ElementName binding and TwoWay binding. A few months ago I posted an update to my MultiBinding solution for Silverlight 4. This technique allows you to perform the same kind of multibindings which are possible in WPF, where a property value is bound to multiple sources via a special value converter that implements the IMultiValueConverter interface, which describes how...

To XAML, with love an experiment with XAML Serialization in Silverlight - David Eitan

Tuesday, July 27, 2010 9:52:03 AM GMT Monday, July 26, 2010 9:44:47 AM GMT
I’m a big fan of XAML.  It provides a nice, declarative, toolable way of defining UI, encourages separation of UI logic and application logic, and is flexible enough to allow an impressive amount of expressiveness.  In addition to being a way to describe a user interface, XAML can be used as a serialization format for arbitrary CLR objects.  A little over a month ago, as I was building out a prototype of an idea I had for a blog post for another time, I found myself looking for a way to quickly and easil...

Have you ever heard of Text to Speech engine? “Yes” I think. Yes, it is not a new thing in the Computer World. It was available since Windows 98 (as much as I can recall) but it is completely new in Silverlight. You can now use the Silverlight application to give an API call to the SAPI Engine which will convert the text to voice. Sounds Good? This is achievable using the COM APIs only. Here I will describe you how to use COM API to give a TTS call to the SAPI Engine. After reading this topic here, you ... (more)

Microsoft released Windows 7 last year which has lots of functionalities including a nice UI. Among those features one of the most user friendly feature is Pin/Unpin application to Taskbar. You can develop WPF or Windows Forms applications in which you can implement this feature. But do you know that this is also possible in Silverlight? Yes, Silverlight 4 has the power to talk with any other application using the COM API. You can read one of my earlier article [Silverlight 4: Interoperability with Excel... (more)
