Containing Silverlight Lists and DataGrids in the Browser Window
In a typical Silverlight line-of-business application we have Lists, Grids, DataGrids, and StackPanels. We populate a list and it flows down and off the browser page. When we have a ScrollViewer, it will scroll the whole page including edit controls and graphics and not just the list that's tall and flowing off the page. The good news is that we can easily contain the list in the viewable area with the few simple steps listed below.

Videos from My Past Presentations
Shawn Weisfeld has recorded several presentations that I've been fortunate enough to present at various times. Shawn also stalks other active community speakers with that camera of his. Check out the complete list on the INETA Champs live site at http://newlive.ineta.org/. That's more than enough video content to fill a Saturday night or skip the Monday night football.

RIA Services - Solutions to 'The remote server returned an error: NotFound'
Isn't it great when the answers are out there? I finally got a Google hint and overcame this one. So here are a few reasons that I encountered and overcame this error.

We can sometimes even hit a debugger breakpoint in the Domain Service that gets the IQueryable call and wonder why the server appears to work in the debugger.

With a huge team in Redmond working for us and trying to meet deadlines, we get what we get. In the spirit of sharing, here’s what I see so far.

WPF Routed Events – Bubbling Several Layers Up
Recently, the WPF question of the day for me was how to bubble up a toggle button event through several layers with less code. In WPF we can easily add layers without worrying about wiring up delegates for each level.

Debugging with VS2008 at the Dallas ASP.NET UG
Some time back, I gave a talk at the Dallas ASP.NET User Group on the topic of "Debugging with Visual Studio 2008". In case anyone can find the notes, slides, and demos useful, they are located at http://www.dallasasp.net/Meetings/238.aspx. Some things have changed since Silverlight has gone RTW (Released To Web/World).
