So, who is using Silverlight 2.0?

DavidSilverlight — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 14:23:32 GMT

I was wondering how many people have had a chance to build an application in Silverlight 2.0 and if anybody has any public examples of it. It is mainly for my own curiousity. I, Along with Faisal Khan, just recently upgraded the Community Champions app at Ineta.org using Silverlight 2.0 and it solved a number of problems pretty nicely, IMHO. Nothing super fancy, really, but nice improvement to the prior functionality. You will also see Silverlight 2.0 coming to Community Credit in the next month.

So, what are other folks up to in Silverlight these days?

VectorLight is looking for Beta Testers

DavidSilverlight — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 02:34:06 GMT

I was hunting down a dropdown control for a demo that I am putting together and came across VectorLight.net. After looking into some of their other controls, I was quite impressed. They have some pretty cool controls there. They are calling out for beta testers, so I certainly signed on. Has anybody here used their controls before? Any thoughts?

Can XAML be modified via LINQ?

ArdMan — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:21:11 GMT

XAML: A canvas, I have a few buttons and rectangles.

Challenge: Remove the rectangles from the Canvas using only their types, but leaving the existing buttons alone.

Thoughts: I've wondered if this is possible with LINQ, but I'm stupid green to LINQ. I have seen LINQ used to query an SQL database and XML, but I've never seen an example of it tweaking XAML objects. I'm thinking it's theorically possible.

Discoveries:

I've discovered:

1. I can loop through all of the elements in a Canvas by referencing its "Children".

2. I can use the "GetType" method to find an element's type.

3. Calling the "Remove" method of a Canvas inside of a foreach loop throws the program into an error.

Embedding Silverlight Video Player in Web Page and Code Project Articles

KarlShifflett — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:07:26 GMT

I’ve been up all night trying to figure out how to properly display embedded videos in Code Project articles. I finally solved the issue. (I had to learn how the Silverlight 1.0 actually works so I could make the necessary changes. David, no fair laughing at poor Karl. LOL.)

I’ve update the article, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapbook/HowToCreateArticleVideos.aspx

It has some additional code in the download, I’ve added an embedded video to teach folks how to do this and I added a new section to the article, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapbook/HowToCreateArticleVideos.aspx#CPVIDEOS that goes into everything and why we need to fully understand what happens when you embed a video.

The bottom line issue was, we don’t want the embedded videos to start playing OR start downloading until the visitor clicks a button. I figured it out, and updated the article download to allow this to happen.

David, I tried embedding the Silverlight video here in an Iframe, I could see it while editing this post, but the Iframe was removed by the system. Is there another wan to embed Silverlight videos here at Community Credit?

I need some Java (Startbucks!!)
