My Latest Silverlight Articles

Over the past few months I've been writing articles for the .NET Insight insight newsletter covering various ASP.NET AJAX concepts.  You can read those article here.  I've wrapped up that series and have started writing about Silverlight 1.0 and 2.  Each week (or so) a new article will be published and I'll update them here so check back.  The articles are designed to be focused and concise and get straight to the topic without a lot of fluff. 

If you're interested in learning more about Silverlight 2.0 you can view 8 video tutorials that I put together here.

A video of a talk I gave on integrating Silverlight 1.0 with ASP.NET AJAX and Web Services can be viewed here for those who are interested.

Dan,

I have been following your article "Using Microsoft's Sivlerlight Control in a Web Site".  So far everything seems straight foreward and I am able to get your example to show up on a ASP.NEt web page.  I am using VS2005 and whenever I open up the XAML file I need an assembly reference so that it know what a Canvas is etc...  

Thanks,  Sam

Please, direct me to a carousel sample that doesn't require a web service as I'm behind a locked down network.

Thanks,

David Larew

I don't have any code available that doesn't call the Amazon Web Service, however, since all of the source code is downloadable you can certainly tweak it do hit a database or XML file instead if interested.

Regarding the doctype issue when using "inline XAML" - this should no longer be an issue after you get the latest service release (blogs.msdn.com/.../first-silverlight-v1-0-service-release-is-live.aspx).

Thanks Garbin...I'm going to add a little about the service release update to the article.  Some people may have auto-updates turned off so it's good to know about still so developers don't waste time thinking it's something they did wrong.

Request:

I see much of Silverlight and demo's of 'drawing' on a canvas.  I'd like to see more examples of using Silverlight to use with 'forms'

ie. a form with a dropdown populated from the database, user fills it out with validation, sees each 'submit' filling a grid (ie think shopping cart), doing all that with Silverlight.

Thanks for the articles

Thanks for the suggestion Steve.  There aren't any built-in controls for doing a DropDownList or grid in Silverlight 1.0 so you'd have to overlay HTML controls on top of a canvas using CSS (although grid-like output could certainly be created).  However, Silverlight 2.0 will have the controls you mention and will allow grids and other types of things to be used without writing a lot of code to do it.  Once a new release is out of 2.0 I'll more than likely start writing about that as well since it's going to offer some very cool features.

Hey Dan,

Some wiseguy put in  a comment with a very long title at your Visual Studio Magazine SL article and it's throwing the article text way down to the bottom of the page.

Hi,

I was going through your article weblogs.asp.net/.../pushing-data-to-a-silverlight-client-with-sockets-part-i.aspx

I had a question. Here you demonstrate how a single server can serve the same data to multiple clients. What if I have to server multiple data from the same server to multiple clients?
