One of the reasons WPF/E is going to give Flash a real run for it's money is the video story. Unlike Flash, Silverlight (the new name) will support DRM, it supports the industry standard VC-1 codec used in HD-DVD and Blueray, and it can take advantage of the built-in media streaming capabilities...

One of the things I'm going to try and start doing is a weekly blog post of useful/interesting links on .NET related topics that I've found on the web. Below is this week's version: ASP.NET Downloading a File using ASP.NET with the "Save As" Dialog : Rick Strahl has a nice post on how to dynamically...

One of the nice features that Silverlight supports is the ability to go "full screen" and effectively take over the entire screen of a computer (hiding everything else from sight - including the browser frame). This can be very useful when building immersive UI experiences, games, rich video players...

Well this week was a nice rest, most of it spent relaxing with my wife. So it was a non-coding week but a range of links did catch my interest: Silverlight/WPF Laurent Duveau lets us know that Expression Studio is now available on MSDN. Ashish posts a lot of links related to WPF. Brad Abrans posts about...

Another week has shot by. Didn't have any time to look at Silverlight although I have managed to download the Orcas Beta and get everything set-up so I'm good to go (whenever I find a spare moment). Links that have caught my interest this week are: Silverlight Ernie has created a cool plugin for reflector...

Wow this week went quickly. On the Silverlight front I've managed to watch a few more Mix sessions and even though I still have been harping on this week about the need for reach and search engine optimisation I saw a mention of persistent links within Silverlight so I'll be looking at that to...

Silverlight 1.1 comes with an built-in JSON serializer which can serialize common data types like string, numbers and arrays. It includes a object serializer, too, I think it is nearly the same as in ASP.NET AJAX or Ajax.NET Professional. I modified my IsolatedStorage demo and added a new method called...

A slight change this week. POI titles will now include the main topics covered in each post ("Other" and "Learning" will usually be included by default so they won't be mentioned in the title). Here are this week's points of interest: Ajax Google announces Google Gears. Their framework for allowing applications...

Did you ever compared client-side RIA frameworks? Alexey Gavrilov has written a great test to directly compare performance : Silverlight (WPF/e) vs. DHTML vs. Flash (Flex) vs. WPF vs Apollo vs. Java (Swing): "The goal of this test is to directly compare performance of different RIA frameworks / approaches...
