Creating a Project from xaml and xaml.cs files

I posted the code for the PageSwitcher app described in a previous blog post , but to save space and to make the download faster, I didn't include anything but the code (no solution or project files).

Binding Data How Do I Video Posted

I'm pleased to say that we've posted a new How Do I Video on Binding Data to Silverlight 2 Controls. In the very beginning of this video I say it is about "wiring up events" but I'm confused and befuddled -- it is, of course, about binding UI objects to business objects. This is...
