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 control or, as of Silverlight 3, you can write a behavior for it. For example, one of the requests...

The current Silverlight application that I’m building has a Login view. One of the things that bugged me when I started using the application is that you would have to click the Login button after typing your password. I wanted to duplicate the default button behavior of HTML forms where when you...

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...

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...

Here is the code from my presentation at SoCal Code Camp on Bridging the Desktop/Web Divide with WPF and Silverlight. The code is for demonstration purposed only.
