Hi Folks, One of the most important tenants of Silverlight Controls development we picked up in Microsoft is WPF Compatibility. That means, that if we end up building FooControl in Silverlight and FooControl exists in WPF we’ll end up with the same API and behaviour. Why is that good for you? It allows you to reuse to code from Silverlight in WPF. If we spin up new API or have differentiating behaviours you really won’t be able to to reuse your XAML and Code in WPF. ...

Hi Folks, As most of you who’re familiar with my work know – I’m a huge supporter of the open source community. I also hold firm to a belief that the Microsoft .Net ecosystem is truly great due to community and vendors innovation. During this article I’d like for us to go over 4 open source initiatives: The Microsoft’s Silverlight Unit Testing framework, RhinoMocks , Microsoft Unity and the Silverlight unit testing plug-in for Resharper. Here are some links to ...

I’m a huge supporter of open source software development and I'd like to take this opportunity to go over the Silverlight Contrib O/S project. Fair disclosure first though, my current role is Program Manager for the Silverlight Toolkit team which ships on codeplex (at http://www.codeplex.com/Silverlight). I’ve got a very high quality bar and I expect nothing less from any O/S project that I ask customers to put into their technology stack. Standard Microsoft disclaimer: KGB Assa ...

I’m a dinosaur and it’s possible I’m the only who didn’t know this – But you can use Silverlight DLLs on the full .Net desktop CLR. See, I’ve been working with Silverlight since Mix07 (March 2007) when we were all excited about Silverlight 1.0 and Silverlight 1.1. First I was working as a senior .Net consultant on a variety of projects, and for the last 6 months I’ve been working on the Silverlight Toolkit for the evil empire Microsoft. So believe me when I say – I’m an agi ...

Hi Folks I’ve been getting some questions through the usual backchannels (Twitter, my J@JustinAngel.Net email and mail pigeons) about creating custom VSM managers. If you’re unfamiliar with VSM I strongly suggest you take 30 minutes and watch Steve White talking in his ‘ohhh-so-British' voice about it: Watch these 4 videos on the Blend 2.5 website which should provide you with deep technical insight into the inner workings of Templating Parts & VSM States from Bl ...

Hi Folks, Whenever someone speaks about developers & designers working together on Silverlight/WPF they talk about the mythical “Designer-Developer workflow”. Even if you’re your own designer, that workflow is always ever present when you switch between “designer” and “developer” hats. I’m a huge supporter of using Tools in order to build your UI. HUGE. I can’t for the life of me understand why someone would choose to be non-productive and XAML things manual ...

Hi Folks, It’s very common to find ourselves creating a UI that is composed of a “Header” part and “something else”. In order to better encapsulate that logic and allow more flexability when reusing it, WPF and the Silverlight Toolkit (codeplex.com/Silverlight) introduce two classes: HeaderedContentControl and HeaderedItemsControl. Let’s deep dive into these controls and see how we can use them to create a more streamlined UI. Setup 1. ...
