Syncing Data with a Server using Silverlight and HTTP Polling Duplex
Many applications have the need to stay in-sync with data provided by a service. Although web applications typically rely on standard polling techniques to check if data has changed, Silverlight provides several interesting options for keeping an application in-sync that rely on server “push” technologies. A few years back I wrote several blog posts covering different “push” technologies available in Silverlight that rely on sockets or HTTP Polling Duplex. We recently had a project that looked like it could benefit from pushing data from a server to one or more clients so I thought I’d revisit the subject and provide some updates to the original code posted.

Amazon.com AlbumViewer Application for Silverlight 2 Released
Back in the early days when Silverlight still had the WPF/e code name I put together a sample application that showed how to access album data from Amazon.com to display a 3D carousel. When Silverlight 1 was released I upgraded it which was straightforward since JavaScript was used for just about everything anyway. I’ve had a Silverlight 2 version available for a few months now but had to wait until the official release to make it available (and had some other priorities :-)). The upgrade was quite a bit more involved this time around since I had to convert all of the JavaScript to C#. It still went really smoothly although I’m certain that many improvements can be made.
