Silverlight has since its birth about 3 years ago grown substantially. It's now a enterprise-ready platform. Just like the full .NET framework, there's a lot to be discovered. In this session, Gill Cleeren makes this daunting task a bit easier, by showing you 10 things you didn't know in Silverlight! Main topics to be covered: Not announced :) Gill will keep the agenda a secret, but is sure all attendees will learn new stuff! There will be something for every Silverlight developer in this session!
About the speaker: Gill Cleeren is Microsoft Regional Director (www.theregion.com), MVP ASP.NET, INETA speaker bureau member and Silverlight Insider.
He lives in Belgium where he works as .NET architect at Ordina. Passionate about .NET, he’s always playing with the newest bits. In his role as Regional Director, Gill has given many sessions, webcasts and trainings on new as well as existing technologies, such as Silverlight, ASP.NET and WPF at conferences including TechDays Belgium, DevDays Netherlands, NDC Norway, SQL Server Saturday Switzerland, Spring Conference UK, etc. He’s also the author of many articles in various developer magazines and organizes the yearly Community Day event in Belgium.

MEF (aka Managed Extensibility Framework) allows building dynamic applications. An implementation of MEF is available for Silverlight developers. MEF allows us to build loosely coupled applications that are composed at runtime. Also, MEF is a great way to add extra functionality to an application on the fly by downloading components as they are needed. In this webinar, we'll look at how MEF works and how we can put it to our use. Main topics to be covered:
Who is this webinar appropriate for: Developers wanting to build dynamic applications Developers that build larger Silverlight applications that benefit from a download-on-demand scenario Silverlight developers willing to learn more about MEF within Silverlight
Duration: 60 minutes, including Q&A
The Telerik Legal Dashboard demo application provides rich and interactive data display. This application shows how you can slice and dice data with RadDataFilter and get instant results in both RadGridView and RadChart.

In this first post, I'll be demonstrating the use of the LowProfileImageLoader class. (A future post will explore the DeferredLoadListBox class which is also part of the sample download - but for now I don't want to get into what that's all about.) LowProfileImageLoader is meant to address a very specific scenario: loading lots of images from the web at the same time. This turns out to be more common than you might expect - just think about all the social media scenarios where every user has a little picture alongside their content.

The purpose of this quick start is to familiarize you with the Managed Extensibility Framework by composing a "part" in Silverlight. Getting started with MEF is easy, once you understand the concept of parts. Because the purpose of this quick star is to get you up and running quickly, we'll start with a brief explanation and dive deeper in other tutorials. A part contains a contract, imports, and exports. One way to think of this is as an item in a store.

I can use styles from MyResourceDictionary.xaml, but Blend generates an error for me – it cannot find my resources. Here is an easy way to overcome this issue. You have to add the same dictionary into the resources of each screen: In the example below I am showing resources area for a user control called MySampleView from MyApp module.

He explores the roles that the storyboards, visual states, behaviors, keyframes, transforms, and easings play in animations. This is a great demonstration of how to add a realistic and natural feel to animations.

WCF RIA Services simplifies the development of n-tier solutions for Silverlight applications by enabling you to coordinate application logic between the server project and the client project. RIA Services provides framework components, tools, and services that make the application logic on the server available to the client without requiring you to manually duplicate that programming logic. This QuickStart shows you how to add a domain service to the server project and read from that service in the Silverlight client. Next, it shows how to restrict data modifications to authenticated users. Finally, it shows how to add validation logic in the server project that is automatically enforced in the client application.

In my previous article WPF DataGrid Control - Performing Update and Delete Operations, I explained Update and Delete operations in a WPF DataGrid control. In this article I will explain how to perform an Insert operation in WPF with DataGrid control. In this article I have used following events of the WPF DataGrid: · CellEditEnding. · SelectionChanged. · RowEditEnding.
