Building Silverlight Applications using .NET Talk (by ScottGu )

Scott used a few slides to explain each programming model concept in Silverlight, and then showed a very base sample for each concept that helped present concretely how it worked.

 

In the talk Scott covered fallowing Silverlight concepts:

• XAML
• Using Shapes and Text
• Using Controls
• Layout (Canvas and Layout Managers)
• Brushes
• Transforms
• Handling Events and Writing Code
• Building Custom UI Controls
• Reaching out and Programming the HTML of a page from a Silverlight control
• Handling HTML Events in Managed Code (e.g. html button click handled in C#/VB on the client)
• Exposing managed APIs to HTML JavaScript in the browser
• Using the File Open Dialog support
• Using the HTTP Network APIs
• Using the Web Service APIs
• Isolated Storage for local data caching

Updated utilities from Mark Russinovich

Updated utilities are ZoomIt, Streams, String, PsExec, SigCheck and DiskExt.

List of changes:

• ZoomIt - you can type text while zoomed and you can also create scratch pad by clearing screen.

• Streams - Streams now supports printing and deleting streams on volume root directories. There is also new -accepteula switch - hope so it will be included with every single utility :(

• String - improving performance by limiting no. of bytes that it is reading

• PsExec - Officially this release to PsExec, a utility for running programs on remote systems, corrects a buffer overflow bug caused by long command line arguments. Unofficially as I found out - it also fixes bug with running PsExec against local computer (PsExec \\%ComputerName% cmd is giving you error regarding user name or password). Finally :) This is quite pain when you got automated processing.

• SigCheck - new switches -a and -m (more version data and manifests)

• DiskExt - now reports the mappings for volume that have not been mounted by a file system.
