http://firstfloorsoftware.com/blog/declarative-tweening (Series Link: Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 , Part 4 ) Since I started working on the next version of my Slideshow application , I have this fascination with Tweening . Tweening is the process of creating a (complex) animation based on a start frame and end frame. Silverlight supports animations out of the box in the form of Linear, Discrete and Splined animations for doubles, points and colors.

Expression Blend and Design : 2.5D UserControl for Silverlight 2

2.5D (two-and-a-half D) is a way of using 2D objects to give a very convincing illusion of 3D. I’ve provided an implementation that has no lighting, materials, lines or polygons. But it does enable you to locate 2D (that is, flat) objects at x,y,z coordinates and place the camera where you want it. The implementation then projects the objects onto the camera, scaling and translating them appropriately, and handles mouse input to move the camera. You can see a small example demonstrating this below: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/expression/archive/2008/11/17/2-5d-usercontrol-for-silverlight-2.aspx

Silverlight Unit Test Framework source code released - Jeff Wilc

A week ago, we gave the world the first release of the Silverlight Toolkit . Shawn Burke told you that we’re agile, and that we have a neat release model . The fun continues! Today, the source code to the Silverlight Unit Test Framework is available with the same open source license. It is checked in to the source control for the toolkit on CodePlex.
I’ve just finished updating my modification of Joel ’s original concept. Joel had a really great base for me to build off of and used styling and templates to create simple controls for a standard Silverlight media player that could be embedded. I took his sample and made some minor adjustments to accommodate automatic sizing as well as make it a bit more parameter-driven. The end result was (what I think at least) a fairly nice player that could be flexible if needed: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/06/10/updating-skinnable-media-player-using-visualstatemanager.aspx

Tip of the Day #31: How to Detect Alt, Shift, Control, Windows a

So I'm working on a little application at the moment, where I want to store some stuff in Isolated Storage. The main issue i have is that I don't particularly want to leave the data in the clear, I really want to encrypt this data. The test is simple, all i do is enter some text to encrypt, click on the encrypt button, and we get the encrypted data.

http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/09/09/silverlight-effects-libraries.aspx While you can do a lot within Silverlight with effects, as demonstrated by techniques used like seen in Shine Draw , you may also want some helping hands to implement these. It’s not always fun to write some code for when you just want to be able to drop in an effect on your application. You want to concentrate on your application logic and get assistance in creating some of the visual effects. If you didn’t know, there are some libraries out there that can help.

IsolatedStorage as a Silverlight object cache

Someone posed this question ( “Can you use IsolatedStorage in Silverlight as a more reliable browser caching technique?” ) to me and I answered with my usual optimistic “in theory, yes” answer. Of course I had never tried it which is horrible to answer that to someone without trying it. In working on creating some Silverlight business application samples, I figured I should probably look at this scenario to see if a) it would work and b) it makes sense. I’ll at least try to answer “a” here. http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/09/24/silverlight-isolated-storage-caching.aspx

Tip: Asynchronous Silverlight - Execute on the UI thread

This article is compatible with the latest version of Silverlight. I've been playing with some timers and Web Services and I got stuck in a case where the background thread was trying to update the UI. Well, that's never going to happen.
Tuesday, July 01, 2008 12:56 PM Tamir Khason After my session yesterday , I got number of email from people, who have a problem to access HTML DOM from Silverlight and vice verse. I want to answer to all of you by this post. Access HTML from Silverlight You have not do anything special in Silverlight to access it. http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tamir/archive/2008/07/01/quick-silverlight-tip-how-to-access-html-dom-from-silverlight-and-silverlight-managed-objects-from-html.aspx

Nikhil Kothari's Weblog : Search for Rich Internet Applicat

If you're developing a web site, especially a public facing site, search and indexability are probably high on your list of requirements and priorities. Yesterday, searchability of rich internet applications got extra attention with Adobe's announcement that it is providing technology to search engines to improve indexability of swf/flash-based applications. This is particularly interesting to me as I think getting the right SEO behavior for RIAs is based on looking at end-to-end solutions that involve complementary server-side techniques (guess that is not totally unexpected from someone like me who has been working on asp.net). I've also been presenting on Search and RIA and enabling indexability for Silverlight and Ajax apps for a couple of years at various conferences... links to those below. There has always been a question mark around indexability of RIAs, whether they're built in Flash, or Silverlight, or even Ajax.

Silverlight Hack - Silverlight 2.0 - Concepts to become a master

Intro Silverlight is THE next generation rich web technology to learn if you are a programmer focusing on delivering web content. There are many articles out there on how to get started or how to write your first Silverlight program. However, many of these articles fail to address the specific knowledge you need to master to be a truly effective Silverlight programmer. Silverlight, just like any technology, has a concrete matrix of concepts a programmer should focus on in order to be able to call himself a master of the technology. Fifteen to twenty years ago (before the web, before mobile technology, before networks were prevalant, etc.), you could have an almost complete grasp of software engineering by focusing just on a few skills.
