Silverlight and Visual Studio 2010

The Visual Studio tools are amazing, except when they don't work. Then they cause limitless frustration and waste countless hours. It is during these times of frustration that I find myself swearing at my favorite tool. But a few days later, when someone asks me about the problems I had, I only recall...

SL/RIA/POCO: Field Ordering

The prior post here detailed how to build a Silverlight application using WCF RIA Services and your own plain old CLR objects (POCOs).

Silverlight: Centering a RadioButton

Depending on how you code the XAML for a RadioButton in Silverlight, you may not be able to get it to center. If you have simple RadioButton text, this issue is not noticeable. But if you include controls like a NumericUpDown as part of the RadioButton, it is very noticeable. I would assume that this...

Silverlight: Building a Grid and StackPanel in Code

Many Silverlight examples show how to build controls with XAML. But XAML does not support programming logic. So sometimes you need to build the controls with real code in C# or VB.

Silverlight: No More Boxy UIs

As WinForms and WebForms developers, we are used to building user interfaces (UIs) that look like this: Notice the rectangular header area and the rectangular link area and the rectangular data entry area.

Silverlight and RIA: Enum Properties

I mentioned in this prior post that RIA Services did not know how to handle properties that have an Enum data type. The problem is not really that RIA Services does not know how to handle the properties; rather it does not have any knowledge of the Enum itself. Take this example. In C#: public enum CustomerTypeOption...
