Random Walks For Windows Phone 7 - Jesse Liberty

jantu 1013 days, 13 hours, 24 minutes ago

It makes me a little crazy that every time the markets go up or down the newspapers cannot resist attributing a reason (though they’re not so good at predicting!). Today’s NY TimMarket Predictores: “Markets down 2% on concerns about slowing economy.” Oh Yeah? How do they know that’s the reason? Maybe it is the cost of oil, the situation in the middle east, unemployment, gamma waves… So I decided to try an experiment: let’s predict up or down randomly, and give reasons, and we’ll see how well we do.

Absolutely Incredibly Essential Utility of the Month - Jesse Liberty

published 1012 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1013 days, 13 hours, 27 minutes ago

A couple months ago I wrote a column about two “Indispensible” utilities, one of which was Launchy.I had to issue something of a retraction:It has it all. Set up takes zero time. The defaults are excellent so you can just run it. If you want to tweak it, there are more options than on the space shuttle. And it is wicked fast, and does a lot more than finding your applications, but it does that incredibly well. (more)

jantu 1014 days, 12 hours, 24 minutes ago

In this interview with Joe Binder, a Program Manager on the LightSwitch team, we discuss the LightSwitch application framework architecture and how a LightSwitch application is built on top of well-known technologies like Silverlight, MVVM, RIA Services, and Entity Framework. Joe shows us how to modify the behavior of a screen and how it exposes the commanding pattern in an easy-to-use way. He also shows us how to extend the UI with our own custom Silverlight controls, as well as how to connect our own d... (more)

Last week we announced LightSwitch, a new tool for developers to make it easier to build line of business applications. You gave us a lot of great feedback, thank you for all of the comments and questions! One of the key requests was to provide more information about the architecture of the applications that are built with LightSwitch. The team has been working hard to publish a set of material on this which I wanted to share with you, including the top level architecture topology. (more)

StringFormat and CurrentCulture in Silverlight - Tim Heuer

published 1012 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1014 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes ago

I recently got a note about a nagging issue in using StringFormat in XAML binding expressions and how it doesn’t honor the current user’s culture settings. This is true that there is an issue in that it doesn’t in WPF or Silverlight. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Silverlight introduced the ability to use StringFormat in data binding expressions (WPF has had this since 3.5 SP1) so you could do some formatting in-line in your binding. Like this. (more)

In May I wrote a sample Windows Phone 7 application using the CTP tools. I’ve just updated the sample to work against the Beta tools In this version I’ve updated the formatting of the main page to use styles to help clean up the markup.I also fixed up several of the markup items to allow more natural layout to occur.

TiltContentControl for Windows PhonePosted August 07th 2010 to Silverlight,Windows Phone An enjoyable feature found in Windows Phone is a neat interactive effect that our designers have dubbed “tilt”. Tilt gives a little motion to standard controls during manipulations (when they’re being touched).Although the operating system’s menus and core applications use this effect in many places, applications built for the platform by default don’t pick up any tilt effects. It’s a pretty complex problem to try... (more)

Karl demonstrates how to navigate away from a screen and leave markers indicating that the screen is still active even though it is hidden. He also demonstrates how to manage state while navigating between different pages.This episode is jam packed with a ton of great... (more)

I've previously blogged about how to get the Data Visualization assembly from the Silverlight Toolkit/WPF Toolkit working on Windows Phone.

Product teams have been releasing samples online on Code Gallery since Visual Studio has been released. This allows us to get samples out the door outside of the normal VS ship-cycle. So what you see “in-box” (a.k.a on the install disk) is only a subset of samples that we release. If you have an internet connection (which you probably do if you are reading this ;-)) then you can access additional online samples from the Help -> Samples menu in Visual Studio 2010 (more)
