In this post, I want to look back and reflect. We've run into some issues with our project, so it seems like a good moment to learn some stuff from what we have and have not done.
In this post, we look at an issue we had while implementing a specific form of data entry for our application. Basically there was an oversight in our reasoning about CRUD operations that needed fixing. It also shows the power of GUIDs.
Here, I am consolidating all the Silverlight Articles that I posted in my Blog and CodeProject for your further reference. It includes articles of last six months.
There are two things I wanted to look at. Firstly, I wanted to allow a web service to be called after the Silverlight application’s Exit event is raised. Secondly, I wanted to provide the Silverlight application with the opportunity to cancel, or at least interrupt the close window process.
Databinding is a fundamental part of the WPF, Silverlight, and the Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 frameworks. It is a powerful concept that once mastered allows you to write concise and elegant code.

I found various people in different forums asking for the logic on the implementation part for passing value to Silverlight application from ASP.NET application. In this post, I will describe it.
A lightweight task scheduling library that allows you to easily schedule the invocation of callback methods at specified times or intervals. Supports .NET 3.5 and Silverlight.
Data validation is very very important for all sort of data driven applications and websites. It is a purifying process where it ensures only valid data is being saved into the database. So, today I am going to talk about Data Validation in Silverlight. By default silverlight doesn't give any visu

Silverlight 4 now has support for Mouse Wheel. From now onwards, you can use mouse wheel event to trigger on mouse wheel rotation. Until the release of Silverlight 4 Beta 1 you had to write JavaScript code & a huge lines of code in C#. Now just forget about those lines. Your code will be clean.
Today, we'll look at the TriggerAction that is also available in System.Windows.Interactivity (either as a part of Expression Blend, or available through the Blend SDK).
One of the most powerful benefits of Silverlight is that it uses the DependencyProperty model. Using this model, you can have great attached properties to describe reusable behaviors and attach those behaviors to certain elements.
The TextBox control is popular in Silverlight, but comes with a few nuances. Learn how to filter textboxes and force databinding with attached behaviors.
Silverlight, with its powerful text and graphics manipulation capabilities and strong interaction with the scripting DOM, seems to be the perfect engine for a Captcha challenge.
One known issue with Silverlight is that the DataContext bound to a control may change, but there is no readily available change event. Unlike WPF, you don't have an explicit event to register with in order to track changes.
In this post, I will build a simple slideshow application to demonstrate some of the capabilities of the Native Extensions for Microsoft Silverlight library.

UpdateControls not only keeps your GUI up-to-date, but it also separates the GUI from the rest of the code better than any framework I have seen before.
I needed to check the available style keys in our main app.xaml file and see which ones are no longer needed. As there are currently 66 style keys in that file and it's growing, I didn't feel much for taking each key and searching through our source code to find out. Time to build a small tool.
Some time ago, I wrote a popular article on how to create a scrolling Silverlight 1.x Playlist using Microsoft Expression Encoder output. Well, I finally found some time to revisit that application to see how I might upgrade it to Silverlight 2.
Are you aware of the Line Stacking Strategy of Silverlight TextBlock control? If not, this post will help you to understand it and after that you will be able to use it whenever required.
