10 Laps around Silverlight 5 (Part 4 of 10) Sound/Media(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by mbcrump(1034) 6 months, 25 days ago

Let’s Begin with Low-Latency Sound using XNA SoundEffect A new addition to Silverlight 5 is the ability to play low-latency sounds using the XNA SoundEffect class. This is very useful for kiosk or even games that need to play a certain sound over and over. In Silverlight 5, this is much easier than before (where people used various MediaElement hacks). You can now simply borrow the SoundEffect / SoundEffectInstance class from XNA. read more...

Silverlight: Navigation Framework tip: using the XAML escape sequence(blogs.infosupport.com)

submitted by alexb(268) 7 months ago

With all the Windows 8/Metro/WinRT hype on the internet today, I decided it was time for a quick tip concerning the XAML escape sequence and the good old navigation framework present in Silverlight 4 and Silverlight 5. I only learned about the XAML escape sequence until recently and I can image that there quite a number of people out there that are still unfamiliar with it. The nice thing is that you can also use the XAML escape sequence in WPF, Windows Phone and WinRT, if you like to do so. read more...

Authorization in Silverlight, part 2: manipulating the UI(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 7 months, 8 days ago

In this part, we’re going to look at another type of authorization: authorizing access to certain UI elements IN a View (instead of the complete View), depending on the role of the logged in user, and deciding what to do when the user hasn’t got the correct role (eg: do you want to disable the element, or do you want to hide it completely?). We’re going to write a component to achieve this as easily as possible, so it can be reused in different applications. read more...

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 7 months, 23 days ago

The first stable release of Abmho is out. It is by no means the first or only syntax highlighter on the web. There are quite a few out there but the vast majority aren't usable. Abmho can mix languages within the same code snippet, allows you to style your code with live preview and many more features. Perhaps one of the most interesting feature is that it is a silverlight application that runs both on the web and optionally installable as an OOB application. read more...

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 7 months, 28 days ago

When you write a data aware application, where data is not locally accessible but is available across a network connection, you have an additional requirement to ensure the network connection is available and also it is able to transport your data in a reliable way. Working with a mobile device like Windows Phone, these requirements are strong because of the continuous variations of the cellular network availability. read more...
