Updates to custom routing using the Uri Mapper in Silverlight 3

by stefan.nospam@nospam.olsonsoft.com (StefanOlson) via Stefan Olson's Blog on 6/18/2009 2:14:59 PM

In my previous post regarding custom URI routing using the URI mapper in Silverlight 3, I described a problem where if you wish to cancel the navigation, to display a dialog for example, returning null from the UriMapper can in some scenarios cause an exception.  After some discussions with Austin Lamb, a developer on the Silverlight team, it was clear that the solution I had chosen to cancel navigation was not going to work. So I re-thought the way I was handling this and have come up wit ...

Check your Silverlight 2 apps for compatibility with Silverlight 3

by Tim Heuer via Method ~ of ~ failed by Tim Heuer on 6/5/2009 10:15:27 PM

One of the goals of new versions of Silverlight is to be be backward compatible with previous versions.  We make this a priority goal so that people can keep their previous applications deployed while not worrying that people with newer Silverlight will have a broken experience. Silverlight 3 has been out in beta form since March 2009 and hopefully if you are a Silverlight developer you’ve had a chance to work with the new features and tools.  If you have existing Silverlight 2 applications tha ...

Silverlight Validation in Detail

by jesseliberty via Jesse Liberty - Silverlight Geek on 6/5/2009 4:21:18 AM

  In a previous post I mentioned that Silverlight 3 has enhanced support for data entry validation. In this first of two mini-tutorials on the topic,  I will take you through the process of implementing validation in some detail. The key to understanding Silverlight validation is the division of logic from UI. In this case, the logic is delegated to the business object that the input control is bound to, and the UI is owned by the the input control (and the associated controls f ...

Issues with the Silverlight Navigation architecture

by stefan.nospam@nospam.olsonsoft.com (StefanOlson) via Stefan Olson's Blog on 6/3/2009 3:56:40 PM

In my last post, I described some of the ways I was able to use the Silverlight URI mapping architecture to provide more customized routing. However, there are a few problems with the navigation/URI mapping architecture that I haven't been able to find ways to work around. Setting a title One of the major problems I've encountered is getting the title (in the browser's title bar) to be set. There is a field in the Page class called title. So you would think would be relatively simple. It appe ...

Custom routing using the Uri Mapper in Silverlight 3

by stefan.nospam@nospam.olsonsoft.com (StefanOlson) via Stefan Olson's Blog on 6/3/2009 3:34:25 PM

Update: see the latest version of this code here. The new navigation architecture in Silverlight 3 is very exciting as it substantially improves the viability of Silverlight for use replacing html websites (except for the lack of a hyperlink class, which I can't understand not being included in Silverlight 2). I'm currently developing a website which will be running Silverlight 3 and have discovered some interesting issues with the URI mapping architecture as it currently stands in the beta. T ...

Google Wave: the sky is falling and Flash/Silverlight are dead

by Tim Heuer via Method ~ of ~ failed by Tim Heuer on 5/30/2009 9:13:29 PM

At the Google I/O conference this past week, they announced Google Wave.  Almost immediately, I started seeing Twitter replies, blog posts and various articles talking about how Google Wave is going to kill Flash/Silverlight/JavaFX.  None of these made sense to me…and at that point I’d yet to see anything about Wave anyway.  I posed a few questions on Twitter as to why people felt Wave was an RIA platform killer (that’s what I was reading into a lot of the buzz against things like Silverlight).  ...

What’s New In Silverlight 3

by jesseliberty via Jesse Liberty - Silverlight Geek on 5/29/2009 8:57:00 PM

I had the pleasure of presenting What’s New In Silverlight 3 both at TechEd this year and then again to the Redmond .NET Developer’s Association, I think the best way to make this material available is to post my slides here along with the source code, and then to point to videos and blog entries that cover this material (either existing or as I create it in coming weeks). Please note that this presentation was given using Silverlight 3 Beta. If you are reading this and we are still in Beta, ...

Silverlight DataForm helpers
