A theming system for Silverlight 2 apps... this post steps you through creating a set of theme assets, adding customizability of themes (colors and fonts in the sample), and using them in an application, including selecting a theme dynamically... complete with source code.

Thoughts on search for RIAs, along with pointers to my latest slides as well as MIX session on ensuring indexability (esp. for Silverlight and Ajax apps)...

More fun with the ViewModel or M-V-VM pattern - using the Dynamic Language Runtime in Silverlight to create a better glue between the View and its ViewModel.

This post describes the ViewModel aka M-V-VM pattern, and presents a prototype Silverlight 2 framework for implementing this pattern using Action Behaviors (which provide the equivalent of commands)

An implementation of AutoComplete functionality that you can add to your TextBoxes in XAML... ala Google Suggest and the ASP.NET AutoComplete control extender (built on top of the behavior framework).

A framework for creating reusable and attachable behaviors in Silverlight, and a sample behavior that demonstrates using and building them... along with all the code.

My thoughts on questions along the lines of Ajax vs. Silverlight, and independent of the debate, how .NET spans the gamut of application development platforms...

Slide.Show - A very nice (and open source) implementation of a photo slide show experience built using Silverlight 1.0 and script.

This post describes how you can use Google Analytics to track users browsing and visiting your site with Silverlight-enabled browsers in the interim... until Google updates its engine to natively track Silverlight versions.

Script# supports programming against Silverlight 1.0. You can start writing your RIA and associated components and controls in C# rather than in JavaScript... today! This series of posts will build a photo carousel one step at a time to illustrate this approach. Part 3 completes the series by adding data-binding and templating to the carousel and by querying Flickr using JSONP to fetch the actual photos to display in our photo viewer scenario.

Script# fully supports programming Silverlight 1.0. You can start writing your RIA and associated components and controls in C# rather than in JavaScript... today! This series of posts will build a Flickr photo viewer one step at a time to illustrate this approach. Part 2 starts building relatively more interesting functionality - specifically the carousel control.

Script# fully supports programming Silverlight 1.0. You can start writing your RIA and associated components and controls in C# rather than in JavaScript... today! This series of posts will build a photo carousel one step at a time to illustrate this approach. Part 1 builds the very basics of this scenario, and is primarily focused on introducing Script# and Silverlight working together.

Today at MIX07, Silverlight was announced along with some amazing demos showing off the media capabilities, as well as the .net/managed programming model...

Microsoft Silverlight formerly known by its code name "WPF/E" has now been announced...
