Silverlight Cream for August 19, 2008 -- #351

Martin Mihaylov on Resizing the SL Object, Dan Wahlin on the Grid and a Flyout StackPanel, Robby Ingebretsen with a Particle Generator, Mike Snow on Terrain Part 2, Custom Mouse Cursor, and Transparent Draggable dialog, Mike Taulty with MessageBox(), Shawn Wildermuth's Part 2 on Deep Fried Bytes, and Pete Brown on SL vs Flash/Flex.

In addition to the two new postings in this edition, Dan Wahlin has updated his My Latest Silverlight post as well.


From SilverlightCream.com:
Tip: Resizing the Silverlight object from the Silverlight application
Martin Mihaylov has a nice little artile on Resizing the Silverlight object to match the SL content... I know when I was watching the forums, this seemed to get asked regularly!
Using Silverlight's Grid Control
Dan Wahlin has a couple new articles up... this on on using the Grid Control and another on Creating a Flyout StackPanel Using Silverlight Animations ... both good (as always) and both with source.. so that's *very* better :)
Silverlight Particle Generator
When Robby Ingebretsen creates something, geez... he's got more time in the framework for this thing than most of my SL apps :) ... very nice particle generator with source of course...
Terrain Tutorial Part 2 – Using Transform Matrices to Create 3D Looking Terrain.
Mike Snow has part 2 of his 3D-looking Terrain series up ... this stuff looks great... almost like Topo maps! Mike also has put up Tip of the Day #28: How to Implement a Custom Mouse Cursor which is very cool... I've wondered about that but not enough to leave a bruise, and also has posted Tip of the Day #29: Creating a Transparent, Draggable Dialog with Rounded Corners which looks just great!
The Curious Incident of the MessageBox in the Silverlight App
Mike Taulty posted a Silverlight MessageBox ... at first I was expecting a short article, but wow... this thing is definitely a tutorial... very nice, Mike!
Deep Fried Bytes Interview - Part 2
Part 2 of Shawn Wildermuth's Deep Fried Bytes Interview is up ... I don't dare try to d/l from here, but I'm sure with Shawn's wit, this should be good :)
Silverlight/.NET vs Flash/Flex (or not) and My Silverlight Wishlist
Pete Brown finally had enough of the SL vs Flash posts and decided to crank out one of his own... a really frank discussion from Pete who is not Frank... they just work together :)

Stay in the 'Light!
