Let’s Begin with Low-Latency Sound using XNA SoundEffect A new addition to Silverlight 5 is the ability to play low-latency sounds using the XNA SoundEffect class. This is very useful for kiosk or even games that need to play a certain sound over and over. In Silverlight 5, this is much easier than before (where people used various MediaElement hacks). You can now simply borrow the SoundEffect / SoundEffectInstance class from XNA. (more)

Silverlight 5 Beta Rough Notes: Low Latency Sound Effects - Mike Taulty's Blog

iftekharahmedamit 743 days, 18 hours, 35 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. As you’d expect, Silverlight can already play audio and has been able to since day one via the MediaElement class which doubles up for also playing video. If I remember rightly, audio support is for mp3, WMA7, 8 and 9 and also for AAC but does not include WAV files. MediaElement is pretty easy to use but if you’ve got requirements like;Multiple media elements playing back ... (more)

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

Steves 750 days, 15 hours, 50 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 752 days, 9 hours, 6 minutes ago posted by

iftekharahmedamit 754 days, 2 hours ago

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

Nickolay 756 days, 22 hours, 51 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)
