Silverlight Navigation Part 2 - John Papa

published 1020 days, 15 hours, 45 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1021 days, 16 hours, 1 minute ago

In the second of two navigation videos we filmed for Silverlight TV, Karl Shifflett joins John Papa to demonstrate how he made some simple extensions to the navigation API in Silverlight in order to solve very common business problems. 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)

Why didn't I think of that in the first place? Windows Phone 7 Charting example updated to include reusable, platform-consistent Style and Templates - David Anson

jantu 1022 days, 15 hours, 48 minutes ago

I've previously blogged about how to get the Data Visualization assembly from the Silverlight Toolkit/WPF Toolkit working on Windows Phone. It's quite simple with my Data Visualization Development Release 4 and the Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta because it's now as easy as adding a reference to two assemblies and then creating some charts! However, those charts start out with visuals meant for use with Silverlight running in the web browser (white background, etc.), not Silverlight running on Window... (more)

jantu 1022 days, 15 hours, 50 minutes ago

I’ve also made some screencast videos around the Managed Extensibility Framework in Silverlight. Not so long ago, the PRISM folks announced that they would be integrating MEF into PRISM with the forthcoming V4 and so I thought it would be good to take a look at what’s going on with PRISM 4 by taking the latest drop from CodePlex ( the August drop ).I also noticed that John had recently done ...

jantu 1023 days, 11 hours, 47 minutes ago

I am so excited to be able to finally talk about this product! It’s great to be part of a team that works on so many Visual Studio tools (like our Office and SharePoint tools) but LightSwitch is definitely near and dear to my heart because of the types of applications you build with it – data-centric business applications. In the 15 years prior to joining Microsoft, I’ve built a variety of business applications and application frameworks so I’m really excited to be working with this part of our team and ... (more)

Using EF “Code First” with an Existing Database - Scott Guthrie

published 1020 days, 15 hours, 45 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1023 days, 11 hours, 58 minutes ago

Last month I blogged about the new Entity Framework 4 “code first” development option. EF “code-first” enables a pretty sweet code-centric development workflow for working with data. It enables you to:Work with data without ever having to open a designer or define an XML mapping file Define model objects by simply writing “plain old classes” with no base classes required Use a “convention over configuration” approach that enables database persistence without explicitly configuring anything In my init...

Using A-Star Algorithm in Silverlight 4 Based 2D Game

published 1021 days, 18 hours, 24 minutes ago posted by

sonukapoor 1023 days, 16 hours, 13 minutes ago

In this article, we will first say a few more words about the A* algorithm. After that, we’ll explore how to introduce the A* algorithm into a Silverlight 4 based 2D game scenario, in which we’ll draw a game map with a sprite and some obstacles upon it and try to find the shortest path for the sprite to walks along using the A* algorithm.

A new version of Visual Studio called “LightSwitch” was announced at the VS Live conference today by Jason Zander.At the moment, I don’t have any deep details to write about here but the essence is around a productive tool for building business applications with Silverlight for both the browser and the desktop which takes in cloud options as well.It’s not necessarily targeted at every developer who’s building applications with .NET or Silverlight and undoubtedly there’s bound to be trade-offs that yo...

Learn how to easily navigate between pages in a Windows Phone application.While the concept of navigating between pages sort of exists in desktop applications, it is really something most of us are more familiar with when it comes to web sites. Clicking on a link and going from one page to another is pretty much the expected behavior. (more)

Localized Online Samples Available for Visual Studio 2010 - Beth Massi

published 1022 days, 20 hours, 39 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1024 days, 18 hours, 54 minutes ago

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)

I'm pleased to announce the July release of the Microsoft Ribbon for WPF! This is the RTW release of the Ribbon control! The new ribbon control is compatible with WPF 3.5sp1 and WPF 4. This is a 100% WPF implementation, not a wrapper around native code. That means you get all the great WPF styling capabilities for the new control.

Async Data Validation - Jesse Liberty

published 1023 days, 18 hours, 37 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1024 days, 19 hours, 2 minutes ago

In this posting I’ll extend the data validation mechanism we’ve been examining to support asynchronous data validation.Silverlight is all about client-side code, and client-side validation is often exactly what you want; however there are times that you do not want to expose your validation algorithm in the client or in which you need to do a dynamic database lookup (credit ratings come to mind). In that case, you’ll want your Silverlight application to be able to validate against a web service, but to ... (more)

I suspect I’m eventually going to get bored with posting about the doc updates every month :) But, I think it’s really cool that the doc team is now updating the online docs every month. I’ve gotten a number of very positive customer comments on how much they appreciate the new vigor with which new content is coming out. If you have thoughts (either on what you’ve seen or on what you’d like to see), I’d love to hear them too. (more)

A high performance ProgressBar for Windows Phone - Jeff Wilcox

The ProgressBar template for Silverlight that is built into the Windows Phone today looks beautiful but comes at a cost to performance in indeterminate mode (the animating dots that often indicate loading during an operation of unknown time). Here I offer a workaround which is identical in looks, but with excellent performance. It uses the render thread exclusively for animation, instead of th... (more)

jantu 1028 days, 17 hours, 8 minutes ago

In every era in recent times there has been one profession that for a short while you could enter without formal training. Autodidacts in the 19th century could read the law without recourse to formal education (see Abe Lincoln). In the early 20th century it was aviation. For a short while in the 1980s and early 1990s, it was computing, thanks to the release of the Apple IIe, the IBM PC and the Mac. (more)
