Apparently Radio 1's Big Weekend is a big thing in England, and to launch the festivities they've made The Big Zoomy Photo Thing a central piece of the action (as you may guess, this is Silverlight/Zoom incognito). (picture cropped to save room...
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...
In what may be a first (at least for me) I've secured agreement with the very generous folks I work for here and at O'Reilly to loosely join the tutorials and the chapters of our forthcoming book Programming Silverlight (co-authored by Tim...
In my new video I demonstrate how you can create controls dynamically at run time. The technique is very straight forward, everything you can create declaratively in XAML you can also create dynamically in C#. xaml <Button x:Name="Button1"...
In about a week, I'll be posting a video on creating a form that responds to keyboard shortcuts (as an intro to a video on user controls). This is also covered in the tutorial User Controls ) As a challenge to those of you who are already comfortable...
[The links have been fixed. Thank you for your patience, and I apologize for the inconvenience.] I very much enjoyed my double presentation at the Microsoft Health and Life Sciences Conference in Atlantic City, where I promised, as always, to post my...

A couple readers of my blog and folks eager to learn more about Silverlight 2 have written to me asking for 2 things: 1. Tutorials and Videos on the specific topics of interest to them (great, keep 'em coming) and 2. Greater transparency in my schedule...
I'm pleased to say that we've posted a new How Do I Video on Binding Data to Silverlight 2 Controls. In the very beginning of this video I say it is about "wiring up events" but I'm confused and befuddled -- it is, of course, about...
On April 9, I posted a link to my first interview on Sparkling Client . Today I'm happy to post a link to the second and final part of the interview . Also, be sure to catch their terrific interview with Dave Campbell ( Silverlight Cream ).
Today's Webcast was intended to be a smooth presentation of a topic I know cold. Not uncharacteristically, I went off on a tangent from which I never returned and ended up writing all my code spontaneously. The good news was it was "fresher"...
As of today, I will attempt to add a brief Tip of the Day to the Silverlight Microblog every day. If you would like to contribute (and I hope you will) please send your tips following the directions listed here . Thanks! -jesse
Don't panic! It's the same blog; I just changed the look to make it easier to use and easier to read. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for lots of videos and tutorials over the next fortnight. -j
