alexb 602 days, 11 hours, 4 minutes ago

With all the Windows 8/Metro/WinRT hype on the internet today, I decided it was time for a quick tip concerning the XAML escape sequence and the good old navigation framework present in Silverlight 4 and Silverlight 5. I only learned about the XAML escape sequence until recently and I can image that there quite a number of people out there that are still unfamiliar with it. (more)

I think that the dust has cleared after the Build Windows conference which took place two weeks ago.

The Windows 8 Developer Ecosystem

KodefuGuru 644 days, 17 hours, 52 minutes ago

Windows 8 brings a style of applications familiar to us using Windows Phone known as Metro. Although Metro Windows Phone apps were built in Silverlight, many predicted the demise of Silverlight since early previews of Windows 8 focused solely on HTML5 support. The keynote of the BUILD conference dispelled this notion by presenting us a full picture of the applications supported in Windows 8. Windows 8 supports applications that run on Windows 7. It also supports the new style of applications even usin... (more)

Taking a look at how to use and harness the power of Value Converters. A Value Converter (IValueConverter) allows for you to perform custom logic during Bind time in XAML based applications. With a value converter you can implement pretty much any type of complex logic you want (bool to visibility, changing styles, etc) at runtime and have this logic extracted away in a stand alone class.
