I have begun new series of screencasts on SilverlightShow.net. Here is the expert: “As I promised earlier on Silverlight Show, this screencast series will show how to create the showcase application shown on www.response.hu (you may want to read the interview to get some background information on the project). The screencast series shows a real life example of how designers can add value to a project, and how a developer can support this effort by creating small, reusable behaviors that allow ...

SilverlightShow recently published an interview with me. They asked about how the showcase app at www.response.hu came to be, and asked me to talk about two of my company’s award winning projects: The Muvesz WPF application (Architecture Journal article is here), and Zoomery, our Silverlight deep zoom framework. In the interview, I also revealed that I will be doing a series of articles / screencasts on how the www.response.hu showcase app was built. The focus will be on using Blend with tips ...

John Papa asked me (and other Silverlight MVPs) what was the one BIG thing we did around Silverlight in 2009. Here is what I had to say: As a few of you may know, although I have technical background, I am really in love with Silverlight (and WPF) for the user experience it makes possible. I think my BIG thing was that I spread the love on tons of Silverlight and related topics during 2009. I had a 4 hour talk about UX, sketching and Sketchflow at the Architecture Forum; 4 hour talk about Silve ...

An old problem with Silverlight TextBox is that it only updates its binding when the TextBox loses focus. This can cause a lot of problems, especially for LOB applications. Following a short discussion on Twitter with Rob Eisenberg (@EisenbergEffect), I tried to create a proof-of-concept behavior that can help ease this pain, at least until Silverlight gets an UpdateSourceTrigger that can handle the PropertyChanged value. (You can read more about the problem Rob had on Connect). The behavior its ...

Today, at the PDC in Los Angeles, Scott Guthrie revealed Silverlight 4 in his keynote. The painful silence enforced by the NDA is now over, and I can talk about all the cool new stuff on Silverlight 4! To me, the most amazing thing is how much the Silverlight team has been listening to the community. Just take a look at the Top 10 most requested SL4 features at: http://silverlight.uservoice.com/pages/4325-feature-suggestions, and compare it with the whatsnew document - 8 out of the top 10 ...

Maybe some of you know, that originally Silverlight was called WPF/E, or WPF Everywhere. This meant that it would be a cross-platform, cross-device little brother of WPF. You could see a few videos years ago on Channel9, showing off some working Silverlight Mobile applications (they were pretty slow though). But no questions regarding when this would be available was answered – until now. During the Silverlight Firestarter event, we could hear Brad Abrams say that Microsoft’s goal was to get Si ...

In July, I gave a talk about Silverlight 3, and even though the entire session was 3 hours (and two bottles of mineral water) long, I only had 5 minutes for RIA Services. So, my only goal was to shed some light on the topic, and scratch the surface of the surface… Let me sum that part up here. Disclaimer: this is just a quick blog post answering a forum question, by no way a proper RIA Services intro. The official “What is .Net RIA Services” summary from the download page: “Microsoft .NET RIA ...

As you probably know, Silverlight 3 was released exactly a month ago. So, is it safe now to work with the new Silverlight 3 features or should you stay with Silverlight 2 for a while to make sure that people with Silverlight installed can view your site without having to upgrade first to SL3? There is one website that I know of that provides independent data on Flash, Java and Silverlight plugin penetration – it is www.riastats.com. I know it is objective or at least definitely not pro-Microsof ...

The next part of my Discovering Silverlight 3 series is up on Dotnetslackers: Discovering Silverlight 3 – Deep Dive into GPU Acceleration “GPU Acceleration in Silverlight 3 is one of its most touted features – but it only helps in certain situations.
