Silverlight 2 XAML Binding and Custom / Core Dependency Properties

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:06:40 GMT

The basic scenario is as follows: I have done quite a bit of WPF programming in the past (since back when it was WinFx). I feel pretty damn good about the bindings in WPF, and I feel like I have wrapped my head around binding and dependency properties pretty well. So, I thought when I decided to write Silverlight 2 apps rather than straight to the vein, white horse, WPF apps, it would be a very similar feeling. The feeling was abruptly interrupted by the evilness of the ElementName Binding param. For those of you who have spent time writing WPF apps, you will know the joy of binding element properties to each other and having no problems. It's easy to take such things for granted.

RIA in Sharepoint: Silverlight with 3D Extended DeepZoom - so cool

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 05:04:50 GMT

NOTE: There is an interesting contest to find an image in this. Check the post. Long story short, this is an effort to bring RIA to the SharePoint world. But not just RIA style usability, I believe we pushed the envelope even further by incorporating not only DeepZoom (SeaDragon) for 'zoom in to the pixel' resolution, but the 3D extensions not present by default (you have the essentials but only the amazingly talented people behind the Hard Rock Memorabilia site (vertigo) have shown this style of combined zoom/3d that we have seen in any largely deployed sample)
