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 if you wanted to run some code after everything was initialized you could use the BeginInvoke method...
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 applied to animations as well and the answer is yet it can. However, it requires one extra step that makes...
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 there is a lot of code there and it doesn’t help if you just want to upload a bunch of videos to the same...
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 development, but what people many times don’t realize is that you can also attach your debugger to a xap file...
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 some more time on it before releasing it because I didn’t like the way the code was turning out. There...
One of the things I’ve 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 "blendable". ItemsControls need to display representative data within the design surface. The problem...
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’t have the ability to host their own xap files. After reading Scott Barnes’ post about replacing...
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 also packaged up the Xap file along with support files if you don’t want to bother with the code. I haven...
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 Twitter and read peoples tweets using Witty, a WPF Twitter client . Even though I only have a few followers...
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 on multi-page applications (qinqquan wanted different xap files, not just pages) and then Mike Snow’s...
