Programming Silverlight 2 – Jesse Liberty & Tim Heuer

I do not pre-announce books. That said, this book is likely to be of significant interest to this community, and so, now that it is officially listed on Amazon , I thought it reasonable to mention that it is on the way, and that Tim and I are exceedingly proud of it. Our goal in Programming Silverlight...

One Man’s Guide To Silverlight Nirvana

Every day (honest) I am asked for a path through the learning material, even though the Getting Started page offers an explicit path. And that is not surprising. We all have our own way of learning. Here is the path that I personally tend to suggest to most Silverlight neophytes. Path of quick learning...

Who Ate My Mouse Down Event??

Before I leave, I want to squeeze in one quick note about a problem a lot of folks are running into as they upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2. I’ll come back to this in more detail when I get back, but here it is in a nutshell. A breaking change in the Beta 2 upgrade is that all the controls now handle MouseLeftButtonDown...

Boston .NET Users Group Meeting

Last night I had the opportunity to talk to a packed room at the Boston .NET User’s Group; an incredibly welcoming and most friendly group of some 150,000 screaming fans of all things Microsoft. I promised at the time to provide a few links; including of course the single most important; the link to...

What is coming soon?

You have noticed, I’m sure, that there has been a flurry of blogging, videos and more since the release of Beta 2. That is all goodness, though it can be hard to know where to start; and the road map will differ depending on where you are in your experience with Silverlight. This is a rapidly changing...

Popup Control

Beta 2 includes a wealth of new controls including the Popup (that is new, right? It’s not that I just didn’t notice it before?). I received an email today asking if I’d do a short How Do I video on creating a Popup and I certainly will, but here is a wicked fast tutorial for those of you who can’t wait...

Beta 2 Month

Beta 2 has been announced, and as you know from Tim’s post and Karen Corby’s , one of the big and wonderful additions to Beta 2 is a new model for skinning Silverlight controls. This is so exciting, and so important, that my plan is to make it a central (but not quite exclusive) focus for the month of...

Beta 2 Event Bubbling

There are many great changes in Beta 2, and some are designed to make Silverlight more like WPF. One side effect of this is that event bubbling has changed just a bit and that bit breaks some of the examples I love to use. In Beta 1, the distinction was that all the controls handled their own click events...

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). A reader wrote asking how to create a project and it is a more than fair question as the answer...
