Xaml and Media controls: giving them a new chance
Tue, Nov 20 2007 21:35
A long (long) time ago I've downloaded one of the ASP.NET future CTPS and was really annoyed with the Xaml and Media controls. Why? simple: they injected object tags on the page instead of generating JS code to perform those operations. The problem: you got one of those nasty "click to activate" messages when the page was hosted on IE. Now that... Read More...

Silverlight pages and VS integration
Tue, Sep 25 2007 23:01
Have you noticed that you can navigate from the "code-behind" file (cs file) to the designer by right clicking the page and choosing "View designer" (from the context menu that is shown when you perform right click), but there's isn't any option for going from the xaml page to the cs code file associated with it? am I blind?

How to share code between Silverlight and other kinds of applications?
Tue, Sep 25 2007 21:47
I really haven't looked at any Silverlight code for at least 2 months. In fact, I haven't really been around the forums until today. Now that I've returned :), I've noticed that there's a lot of similar questions around sharing code between .NET and the "mini-CLR" that is used Silverlight. The first thing you should notice is that... Read More...

Silverlight: understanding namescopes
Fri, Aug 17 2007 15:37
Today i was starting to write about silverlight namescopes but then I've found this cool post which talks about most of the things i was writing about. btw, i'd just like to add that when you use the XamlReader.Load method, you can also create a new namescope by using the overloaded version that receives 2 parameters (the second parameter lets you specify...

How to test your Silverlight quickly
Fri, Aug 17 2007 15:32
When you create a Silverlight project, you'll automatically get an HTML file that you can open in the browser to run some quick tests. Unfortunately, the file is opened directly from the file system instead of being served from a web server. This means that some things don't work and you'll need to create a web site to test them (ex.: getting a video... Read More...

Silverlight: the XAML ASP.NET control and embeded XAML
Wed, Jul 25 2007 11:30
Even though the Xaml's XamlUrl porperty seems to indicate that it can only load XAML from an existing url, the truth is that you can also pass it a reference to a XAML excerpt which is embeded on the page. here's a quick example of how you can do this: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.cs"...

Silverlight: building a simple progress bar
Wed, Jul 25 2007 10:51
When you're developing a Silverlight application, you'll surelly be in a situation where you need to download stuff before starting your app. In these cases, you should play nice with the user and give them some indications regarding what's going on. The most common thing to do in these scenarios is to show a progress bar. Building a progress bar... Read More...

Silverlight: the AG_E_RUNTIME_MANAGED_ASSEMBLY_DOWNLOAD error
Mon, Jul 23 2007 22:34
Quick tip: if you have this error, then you've got the wrong name for your assembly in the xmlns namespace introduced on the xaml file. Quick example: xmlns:la="clr-namespace:Silverlight.Controls;assembly= ClentBin /SilverlightProgressBar.dll" Notice the ClentBin (instead of ClientBin) typo... Read More...

Silverlight: compensating movement changes on animations
Wed, Jul 18 2007 12:10
Another experience I've run today was related with compensating direction changes on animations. Here's the scenario: suppose you've got a rectangle and you want it to move from x to y when something happens and then from y to x when another thing happens. The main problem is that the change in direction might happen before the previous running animations... Read More...

Silverlight: the parenthesis () do matter!
Wed, Jul 18 2007 10:58
Today I needed to animate a Rectangle so that it moved from left to right. Like all sane people, I've right clicked the xaml file and chose open in blend. Building the animation was really a complex operation: I only needed a pair of clicks and the rectangle was moving :) . Unfortunately, the code blend generates sucks a lot. In order to build the animation... Read More...

We need a new release of Siverlight right now!
Mon, Jul 16 2007 12:13
And one where cross-domain calls do work! I'm not a game programmer. I'm not even a designer. so, many of the features available are of no good to me. Cross-domain calls are off, which means that I cannot build components which agregate info from different domains. It really sucks! Please, help ups and release a new version with cross-domain support!... Read More...
