10 Minute Tutorial - Silverlight: Building a Silverlight application with MSBuild (C#)
“If you build it they will come”
Don’t know about that, but if you use MSBuild, it’ll sure make everyone’s life a hell of alot easier. 
As of .NET 2.0, Microsoft provides developers with a build engine, called MSBuild, as part of the runtime distribution. In this tutorial, I will walk through hand-coding a MSBuild build file for the sample code of my application framework Silverlight tutorial. Read more

Channel 9 video review: Tyler Ballance - live from the SilverlightDevCamp in San Francisco
It looks like Microsoft has found a new victim in their continuing onslaught of consistently excellent, impromptu developer interviews. This time Adam Kinney puts the spotlight on Tyler Ballance, an employee of the picture slide show company, Slide (if you’ve read any number of MySpace profiles and bulletins, then you’ve definitely seen their logo). This young man, seemingly reluctant at first, but opening up once the technical questions started flowing, discusses the San Fransico SilverlightDevCamp and gives his opinion on how programming in Flash compares to Silverlight.

10 Things I Learned From the September MSDN Event in Atlanta
A week ago, I went to the September MSDN event in Atlanta, held at the AMC Parkway Pointe theater. The itinerary included presentations on LINQ (Language Integrated Query), WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) and Silverlight. Having seen live presentations on LINQ and WCF before, I hoped to justify the experience by seeing a dazzling Silverlight presentation, in the flesh.
Unfortunately, “dazzled” I was not. However overall, the experience did satisfy. Read more

10 Minute Tutorial - Silverlight: Using JavaScript to Call Scriptable Managed Code (C#)
My event handling tutorial walked through manipulating a Silverlight control using managed code. Today, we will learn how to access that managed code from JavaScript in an HTML page. The blandness of my last tutorial (a blue rectangle, whoopie) inspired me to spice things up for this tutorial and give you: animated, multi-color rectangles! Lacking the desire or the time to create the necessary XAML myself, I “borrowed” it from one of the samples embedded in the absolutely awesome SilverlightPad application.
Man, I hope that code is open source. 
In addition to snazzy animations, the application for this tutorial will also contain a couple of form controls that will manipulate the Silverlight content at runtime. The first control, a simple drop down, will allow the user to select the number of rectangles displayed on the screen. The second form control will act as a pause/resume button for the animation.
Okay, let’s get started! Read more
