I presented the first of a new series of live web casts today in which a number of resources were mentioned. As promised, here are links to all of them Silverlight.net Getting Started Page Learn Page Silverlight Microblog Scott Guthries’s blog entry on...
This schedule was modified on July 4. The schedule will be kept up to date by a notice in the side bar under presentations which will link to a dedicated page outside the blog . I am pleased to announce a new series, blending Conference-quality presentations...
Before I leave, I want to squeeze in one quick note about a problem a lot of folks are running into as they upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2. I’ll come back to this in more detail when I get back, but here it is in a nutshell. A breaking change in the Beta...
Beta 2 includes a wealth of new controls including the Popup (that is new, right? It’s not that I just didn’t notice it before?). I received an email today asking if I’d do a short How Do I video on creating a Popup and I certainly will, but here is a...

Just to tie the previous two blog posts together, I copied the C# into Instant VB and here is what it spit out (line break added to fit) Private Sub AnyPropertyCheckBox_Click( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Dim isVisible As Nullable...
From now until the summer I'll be working on videos , tutorials , presentations and blogging, but I'll also be writing Programming Silverlight 2 with Tim Heuer . Rather than convincing you that I'm continually hawking my book, I'd rather...
Aha! Okay, I may not fully understand all the requirements, but the following demo will show how to dynamically create a user control and then have that user control close itself, remove itself from the containing page and fire an event to the page so...
Ben H. asked a question within a comment to a previous blog post. Suppose, there is a button on the main form and when the user clicks on the button, a new container gets instantiated and the new container appears on the top of the main form. However...
