The Silverlight Tutorials & Book & More

In what may be a first (at least for me) I've secured agreement with the very generous folks I work for here and at O'Reilly to loosely join the tutorials and the chapters of our forthcoming book Programming Silverlight (co-authored by Tim Heuer, O'Reilly 2008) to create an enhanced ...

In my new video I demonstrate how you can create controls dynamically at run time. The technique is very straight forward, everything you can create declaratively in XAML you can also create dynamically in C#. xaml <Button x:Name="Button1" Width="50" Height="30" Content...
