Jeff,Thank god for people like you.I would like to see how to replace .png backgrounds with xaml. If that's possible.Looking forward to learning more!Thanks. BTW it's the 2nd. I don't see where the articles are.
I would like to hear about the use of Silverlight with WCF Duplex services
i will be watching to see if you can keep that pace. It is a good goal.
Looking for an overview of working with XAML and Expression Blend. How about a simple Address form?
Best Wishes.. Looking forward for the Best Show from you as always !!!Best Practices is what I am most interested in !!! Lets Ring In Today !!!
how can I download the 31 days of Silverlight articles all at once?
I'd like to hear about visual state managers, styling, and themes.
Can't wait to see it. Very much in the same spirit as the 31 days of Resharper which is a great idea. Hope you have some blog posts already written though…otherwise that will be a really tough pace to keep.
I am still interested in best practices for: 1) dynamically loading secondary .xap/.dlls2) font-embedding and whole-app styling3) full-duplex WCF for real-time data4) app-to-app communication5) SOA and smart URLs
It would be good to see a webservice integration one.
All the links to the tutorial is dead! Can you fix it?
Thanks!
I just moved to a new blogging engine, and I’m working through fixing all of the links, but it’s taking me some time. If you use the search on the site, you should still be able to find the articles (at least until I catch up.) Sorry for the inconvenience…it will be corrected by the end of the month at the latest.
I can not access the articles links, is returning “timeout” after a few minutes trying to load, I have been trying for about 5 days … there is any problem with the site? Thanks!
