have to run a Server OS.

A question came up in
the Silverlight Forums about how to timeout a user when using .NET

approach I used. There might be ...

As a Silverlight developer, when you want to add functionality to an existing control, you have two main options as I see it (if you want to get reuse from your code). You can either subclass the cont...
This is another nugget of gold gleaned from the Climbing Mt Avalon workshop, although I believe this one came from Jonathan Russ. He was talking about a bunch of threading tricks in WPF and showed how...
In my last post I blogged about using Attached Properties to get around the limitation that only Dependency Properties can be animated. One astute commented noted that he was guessing this could be ap...
I need to find the forum post where this question was asked, but I’ll have to do that later since I’m at MIX09 and searching the forums is low on my list. But I wanted to share a cool hack...
Yesterday I was working through another question in the Silverlight Forums about how to upload video to Silverlight Streaming via code. At first I tried to reference the Video.Show application, but th...
This question has come up in the forums a few times so I thought it would be worth a blog post. Most people are pretty familiar with debugging a Silverlight application running locally during developm...
You may have noticed the new look for the Twilight Twitter Badge on my blog a few weeks ago. I wanted to add a few new looks for the badge and got one of them done but then decided I need to spend som...
One of the things Ive been trying to getting a better understanding of is how to make the Silverlight projects I work on more blendable: In general, WPF and Silverlight controls should be "bl...
This post is actually about cycling more than coding, but as I thought about it I realized that being a Software Developer is often much like mountain climbing. Each time I get to what I think is the ...
I just pushed a minor update to Twilight that you can now download on the codeplex site (version 1.1). I really wanted to allow the xap file to be hosted on other servers since many bloggers don&rsquo...
This afternoon I put the Twilight source code up on CodePlex. Twilight is the Silverlight Twitter Badge that I created from my AgFeedReader Mix 10k contest entry. You can download the source and I als...
When Twitter first came out I signed up but never really caught on until recently. I finally figured out that you really need to follow some people first to get the hang of it. Now I enjoy using Twitt...
qingquan126778 asked the question in the Silverlight forums about how to switch between pages in Silverlight if the pages are in different xap files. First I pointed to Jesse Liberty’s post...

This is something that wasnt clear to me so I decided to blog about so that I could fully understand it. Both IValueConverters and TypeConverters are used to do conversions (imagine that!), but they a...
About six months ago I decided to take a break from blogging without feeling bad about it. It was a nice break, but really my lack of blogging was mostly due to the type of work I was doing. I was wor...

Ok, so in my first post on Integrating MVC with Silverlight I didn't actually get to the Silverlight part. I only laid out the navigation and set it up so that it would work with Silverlight when I di...
Ok, so before I go any farther I want to spell out a couple of things. First, my sample code doesn't have any Silverlight in it yet. Since I didn't have a whole lot of time and beta 2 is only a day or...
Ok, I'm not totally sure why all my posts lately have had a slightly negative tone to them, perhaps I'm becoming a slightly disgruntled Microsoft developer. Anyhow, here goes another slightly disgrunt...
Gerry just posted some information about the new ADO.NET 3.5 Exam and the new ASP.NET 3.5 Exam, but didn't post the dates or the promo codes. I just signed up for both exams via the Prometric site and...

I've been working on a few BizTalk projects lately and been making use of Scott Colestock's Deployment Framework for BizTalk 2006. The framework is great and handles about 95% of what I need to d...

Donald Burnett has an interesting piece call Poor, maligned, and misunderstood by many: WPF/E which I found to be an interesting read. He brings up two myths about WPF/E that (1) it doesn't suppo...
