    In the previous part of this article, I've explained the role of templates in Silverlight controls showing how to radically change the appearance of a control without having to change or rewrite its logic. This is an important feature of Silverlight's controls that allow a developer to create an application without concerning about its appearance and leave the designer free of manipulate it without needing to know their intimate logic. Unfortunately there are many times when built-in controls, the SDK and the Toolkit do not contains the control we need for our application.



  • Changing Templates with the Silverlight Designer (and seeing the changes immediately)

    Cheryl Simmons has an example of how to make changes to a control template by using the Silverlight designer and how to immediately see these changes in the template reflected on the design surface.

    Lately I’ve been writing some topics on using the Silverlight designer in Visual Studio 2010 RC to build SL4 apps. One of the features of the designer that I find super cool is the ability to make changes to a control template, and provided you are using that control in your application, see the changes in the template reflected on the design surface right away.

    In a previous post Pete Blois showed off a Silverlight nine grid. In this one he explains how to leverage it to create control templates from Illustrator comps of controls.

    I wrote this a while back but am not super happy about the workflow. I decided to post it anyways in the hope that it might be a helpful to someone.

    Robby Ingebretsen has created a version of Simple Styles that is designed for Silverlight.

    Simple Styles are a set of styles and (more importantly) control templates that are designed to be a starting point for creating your own custom templates. The idea is to include all of the essential elements of the template and no extras. It’s a stripped down version of the control template, presented in full color (well, two colors) for your tweaking pleasure.

    A few months ago John Stockton wrote about how to create simple animations. He had noticed that most of the people were attracted by the way in which he included the animation inline with text. So he posted the article “Silverlight Trick: Inline Silverlight Apps“, in order to explain how to achieve such an effect.

    Jonathan van de Veen posted his article “Silverlight 2 Datagrids RowDetailsTemplate and databinding radiobuttons”. His purpose is to make possible the usage of the datagrid to edit data not directly in the grid, but in a details form.

    Two new tips are posted in the blog of Mike Snow. The first one is on animating objects with DoubleAnimation. DoubleAnimation is one of the two options for animating provided by the Storyboard control and it uses a From/To direction. The next tip is focused on creating an Efficient Random Generator. See if Mike managed to do this in the most appropriate way.

    You can learn more Silverlight quick tips from Alex Golesh. They are about Control Reflection, Control Properties Data Binding, Window Title and Status Bar text (IE only). And all the samples have sources.

    If you wonder how to create simple expander and to easily add it in your own program then you should read the post of Jesse Liberty – “Simple Expander – Silverlight Toolkit“.

    Terence Tsang continues with his posts about Flash and Silverlight and this time his example is a simple game system. In the sample Terence demonstrates how you can control a game character using the keyboards.

    Azret Botash is the proud author of Silverlight Line of Business Applications: Part 1 - Getting Started. This set of posts aims to show some of the things that you will need in order to develop a client side applet for your next big product.

    Adam Kinney has a post about DeepEarth - Maps served using Deep Zoom in Silverlight. One very nice project provided with demo site and code available on CodePlex.

    Here is a little additional information written by Shawn Wildermuth on usining content in ControlTemplates. Check how this works in practice.

    Page Brooks has another great article concentrated on tweaking. This time it’s about using ReSharper with Silverlight. Here you can learn more about the ReShaper and where you can download it if you are still not familiar with it. There are also 4 templates that you can use in your Silverlight endeavors.
