 I want to use silver a recode my game. Does it support directx or opengl.

 Thanks.

Great to see u back in blogging. I saw mix sessions videos. Mix was great.

Hi Scott,

How can we update the GUI of a Silverlight 2 website automatically using the Linq to Sql entity classes (which implement INotifyPropertyChanged)?

Changes made to database are not reflected in the GUI immediately. Is this not correctly implemented in Linq to Sql entity classes?

It would be great to have automatic GUI update in every window the website is opened ..as in realtime data :)

Another question is related to a passwordbox control. When will it be added ? When will Silverlight 2 final release be launched?

Thanks

Hi,

Genome is an O/RM tool for .NET that already provides full LINQ support since November 2007. Integration started already in September 2006 based on the May 2006 CTP of LINQ, and was provided as side-by-side equivalent to the propriatary object-query-language used by Genome.

More information can be found at http://www.genom-e.com

Scott,

I don't know why you think you have to apologize to us for not answering our emails and blog comments.  Just the fact that you do in the first place is an honor, even if it was 3 weeks later.  I'm still surprised that you have time to answer ANY outside emails.

Thanks for everything, Scott.  We, as developers, look forward to great things coming out of your division.

Scott,

Sort of off-topic, but in your post on ASP.NET Url Rewriting you wrote: "We'll also be shipping a Microsoft supported URL-Rewriting module in the IIS7 RTM timeframe..."

Is this still happening? I've checked iis.net and didn't see anything. I'm starting a new project and am looking for a good rewriter.

Thanks for all of the great info.

Scott,

Your presentations at MIX were great.  I was very impressed with Silverlight.  There were several things presented regarding enhanced integration with click tracking etc as well as the ability to create fly out ads quickly in Silverlight.  Is there any current documentation or code samples for those features?  

Thanks again for a great job at MIX.

# re: March 14th Links: ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET MVC and .NET

Thanks sir.

  Right now i found a graphic solution and working on it ,Im sure it can do some graphic work as my game required,But right now im blocked by a simple problem. Does there have some function just like the Window SDK's gettickcount.I need it to control my game's frequency.

thank you so much.

# re: March 14th Links: ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET MVC and .NET

Please skip last posted comment by me, I have found a solution!

thanks.

# re: March 14th Links: ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET MVC and .NET

Please help me.

Right now im tring to migrate me game to silverlight. I face problem at the game frequency control part.

The previous game a have write use pure win32 api .And this is the game main logic part.

while (true)

{

  Here peek windows message;

  get system tick ;

  Run in to game main loop ;

}

But right now in the silverlight ,I could not peek windows message so this game will block in the logic process loop .

As this result ,I m think other solution is use a timer to trigger a callback function to run in to the game main logic.

But right now i even could not find the timer class or some helper class in silverlight could do that function.

Could you give me some advise about it .

If i can use a big while loop and in this loop i as could peek and process the inteface,Do not let the application dead.Just like the desktop game i have made ,That's pretty good,If this solution is not action.Then can i use a timer and make a game main loop as callback function of this timer.

Thank you so much.

By the way i hope it have solution bz i have almost finished the game logic ,and it been test work will.So i hope you could help to continue this project.

thank you so much.

Hey Scott! You forgot the Silverlight links :)

For those coming here to learn some SL tricks... here's DataGrid sorting code. I couldn't find a similar hack anywhere, so I am posting it here in plain view of search engines.

Here's how you can bind all columns of all datagrids of a page to the same Click event, and use the code from any page!

   public partial class Page : UserControl

   {

       [ ........ whatever code you have .......... ]

       private void Sort_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

       {

           (sender as Control).SortParentGrid();

       }

   }

   public static class DataGridSortExtension

   {

       private static Dictionary<Control, bool> gridsort = new Dictionary<Control, bool>();

       public static void SortParentGrid(this Control control)

       {

           if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(control.Tag as string)) return;

           var fe = control.Parent as FrameworkElement;

           while (fe != null && fe.GetType() != typeof(DataGrid)) fe = fe.Parent as FrameworkElement;

           if (fe == null) return;

           var datagrid = fe as DataGrid;

           if (datagrid.ItemsSource == null) return;

           var list = datagrid.ItemsSource.AsQueryable();

           gridsort[control] = gridsort.ContainsKey(control) ? !gridsort[control] : false;

           var query = list.OrderBy((control.Tag as string) + (gridsort[control] ? " desc" : " asc"));

           var selection = datagrid.SelectedItem;

           datagrid.ItemsSource = query;

           if (selection != null) datagrid.SelectedItem = selection;

       }

   }

And the XAML (as you see, binding supports object hierarchy):

                       [SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Membership.Email}"]

                           [SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn.Header]

                               [HyperlinkButton Content="E-Mail" Tag="Membership.Email" Click="Sort_Click" /]

                           [/SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn.Header]

                       [/SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn]

                       [SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding User.FirstName}"]

                           [SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn.Header]

                               [HyperlinkButton Content="First Name" Tag="User.FirstName" Click="Sort_Click" /]

                           [/SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn.Header]

                       [/SWC:DataGridTextBoxColumn]

You will need the Dynamic LINQ library from:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../bb894665.aspx

Copy and include Dynamic.cs into your Silverlight project and comment out ReaderWriterLock lines (228, 245, 249, 260, 265, 288) since System.Threading does not seem to include that in Silverlight.

Next, I tried to use DisplayMemberBinding to infer the sort property without needing Tag in the XAML, but I got some nasty surprises. The Binding object hides it in _path as a private variable! So I tried to use reflection:

       var column = datagrid.Columns.First(p => p.Header == control) as DataGridBoundColumnBase;

       var dmb = column.DisplayMemberBinding;

       object bp = dmb.GetType().InvokeMember("_path",

           BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.GetField | BindingFlags.NonPublic,

           null, dmb, null);

But ReflectionPermission prevents it, giving a FieldAccess exception... I assume it's to prevent any malicious client code to find out and expose your data structure.

So, that's as far as I got, enjoy!
