New Wrox Silverlight 1.0 Book

Interested in learning more about developing Silverlight 1.0 applications?  There's a lot of great info on the http://www.silverlight.net Website, but Wrox is also releasing a new book titled Silverlight 1.0 that will be out in October. 

I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but knowing Ambrose and Devin my bet is that it's very good.  I'll add more info once I receive my copy.  It looks like everything is in color which should be really nice.

  • Hi Dan, in your video on calling web services with ASP.NET Ajax (excellent video btw), I saw you using a "data binding" JS function called set_data, you go:

    var searchResults = $get("searchResults");
    searchResults.control.set_data(results);

    And you say in the video that searchResults is a control, but what kind of control is it ? Is that a GridView or something ? I've tried to put a GridView widh ID="searchResults" but when I check the value of var serahcResults it's always null.

    thank you :)

  • Hi Anderson,

    Glad you enjoyed the video. At the time that was made I was using the ASP.NET AJAX Futures release (an alpha build that changes a lot). The "control" was a client-side XML Script control that I was binding data to in that particular example. They've changed the futures quite a bit so I wouldn't spend too much time on that specific part of the code since it's not included in the standard ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 release.
