    In this article for the Visual Studio Magazine, Kathleen Dollard tackles a pair of questions relating to cryptic errors produced by Silverlight.

    A reader asks: I’m moving a Silverlight project from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010 and the Editable and Display attributes are not found on compile. System.Data.Annotations.dll is referenced and I do have the correct using statements. This is happening in a file that is linked between Silverlight and the server and occurs only on the server. Do you know what’s going on?

    Kathleen Answers: Check the target versions of the framework to be sure you’re targeting the correct version. [...]

    In this article for the Visual Studio magazine Kathleen Dollard talks about value converters in Silverlight.

    Q: I like the capabilities of value converters in Silverlight, but they're really a pain to write. I'm creating one for different situations, each with several conditions. For example, one converter is if something is to be made visible on true, and another is to be visible when the bound value is false. Is there a way to make this easier?

    A: Value converters are extremely powerful. They implement IValueConverter, and they have two methods: Convert and ConvertBack. Value converters are valuable in minimizing the code required directly in the UI and in providing reuse of conversion logic.

    In this article for the Visual Studio magazine Kathleen Dollard discusses how to store history information for the user on the local client PC in a sandboxed Silverlight 3 application.

    Q: I'm writing a Silverlight 3 application to run in the sandbox. Can I store history information for the user on their local machine or do I need to pass this information back to the server for storage?

    A: I'll show you how to store information on the user's local machine, but first let me warn you of the possible pitfall.

    In this article written for the Visual Studio Magazine, Kathleen Dollard shows how to display a list of complex bound criteria, including data, child data and photos for each item, in Silverlight.

    Q: In Silverlight I want to display a list of complex bound criteria, which includes data, child data and photos for each item. The requirement is for the list to be displayed horizontally with only one item displayed at a time. Is this possible?

    A: There are at least two approaches to solving this: a ListBox and a DataForm. In Silverlight 3, I wasn't able to scroll the ListBox incrementally, resulting in partially displayed items. In some cases this might be desirable, but the DataForm offers a clean incremental scroll. Figure 1 shows the DataForm solution. Both approaches use a DataTemplate that allows reuse of control layouts.
