I’m a few days late but finally getting around to posting my Mix session samples and source. The first sample is of a front-end I built for MSN video. The sample is available online here with the source here . Here’s a screen shot of the sample:

I’ve made a few updates and fixes to the VideoSearch sample posted below. Most notably, I fixed an issue with image files not always being present. The source is at the same location .

Here’s the source to the WriteableBitmap and Pixel Shader sample I showed at Mix 2009. Click on the image below to run the sample (and have the Silverlight 3 Beta installed – you can get that here ). Drag one of the images (or video) from the left and...

I posted the Local Messaging samples I showed at Mix 2009 including the Bouncing Balls sample and the Chess Wars application. Click here to run the Bouncing Balls application (you’ll need to temporarily allow pop-ups). To start a ball, click on anyone...

I’m been working on some WPF/E samples and I needed to do a mirror rotation. Although I could do this with a combination of canned transformations I prefer to use the general MatrixTransform. This is easy to do if you understand the affine transformation...

I just got a new laptop which required a fresh install of all my applications including Visual Studio and the associated WPF/E developer extensions. As part of re-setting this up, I realized it required a bit more research than I expected so I'm replaying...

I updated the PNG , GIF and BMP samples to the final version of Silverlight 2 including addressing several reported bug fixes.

Jaime Rodriguez posted a nice financials sample built using Silverlight 2 Beta 1. Very cool and gives you a nice taste of some of the power of Silverlight 2.

My goal was to update my DeepZoom sample to RTM using the DeepZoom composer but decided to directly use PhotoZoom as I needed that for some general photo storage anyway. The nice thing about PhotoZoom is that it automatically generates a Silverlight 2...

I've posted the CreateFromXAML and Timer sample from my Mix talk. You can run the sample here and get the source here . The sample uses the downloader component to retrieve a ZIP archive that contains a set of XAML files. To do this, in the onLoad event...

Richard Z. updated and enhanced the Jelly samples to work with the RC1 build of Silverlight . You can get the RC samples here . Other than visual updates, the main change was to update to the new Silverlight.js from the RC1 SDK .

In addition to the Jelly Samples, I've updated the others samples on my Blog to work with the latest RC.

I've created a single post that aggregates my other posts on V 1.0 breaking changes. This post does include a few changes I hadn't previously blogged about. In the future, I'll add new breaking changes to this list (although this should be the last of...

I’ve seen a few posts, including this one , where folks are wondering about WPF/E "size". I've also seen a few posts with misleading information about our intended size which probably originated from this article . To start with, size can be confusing...

It turns out the Windows BMP file format is similar to the Windows ICO file format. Given that, it wasn't too hard for me to produce a Windows ICO/ICON decoder (parser) based on the work I did around a Silverlight BMP decoder. I didn't spend a lot of...

I fixed a few bugs in the ImageGenerator sample . One was related to non-square images and the other was related to images larger than 64K. If you're using this sample, you'll want to pick up the updated source here . Thanks to planetmarshalluk for the...

I did a packed “What’s new in Silverlight 3” session at Mix 2009 and had a blast. I’m working on posting the samples but for now, you can find a video of the session here and my deck here . Samples and walkthroughs should all be posted by Monday…

Here is the source to the TrustedApp media player sample I showed at PDC 2009 . This sample requires the Silverlight 4 Beta which you can find here . This "trusted app" sample uses the new file system APIs, notification window APIs, windowing APIs, WebBrowser...

I updated my Kitchen PhotoZoom gallery with a few photos to show some progress I made over the last few weekends. Updates include adding crown to the cabinets some casing updates and we put in the backsplash (not grouted yet). The backsplash, shown below...

I updated the Image Source samples to include the BMP Decoder (missing from my previous post).

Seema’s blog post has more details, but the source code for the Silverlight 2 controls, both runtime and SDK, was just released. This source code includes control source, source for support types (e.g. EventsArgs), Visual Studio project files and unit...

The final sample from my Mix 09 talk is an Out Of Browser version of the Silverlight 2 Chess Application . You can find the source for this sample here .

I finally got a chance to update both my Mix 2009 and bitmap samples to Silverlight 3. See the table below for links to the running samples as well as Silverlight 3 sample source code. Note the GIF decoder has been updated to support interlaced GIFs ...

Tim Heuer and Scott Barnes have established a more community focused way of tracking Silverlight 4 feature requests. You can find their feature tracker here: Silverlight Feedback Forum . Other than a few items that our outside our control (iPhone, bundling...

Mike Harsh has a great overview of WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere) and of the content I presented at MIX06 including my deck and several screen shots from the presentation. In my blog, I’m going to follow up on some of the questions...
