Recently, I wanted to do a project in Silverlight 4 using EF4(Entity Framework 4). When I went to add the ADO.Net Entity Data Model class, I received this error message:

The project’s target framework does not contain Entity Framework runtime assemblies. Please review the target framework information in the project’s property page.

I checked my .Net framework version, and it was .Net 4.0. So I went searching on Google and found this thread on MSDN. It seems that there is a problem with VS2010/Productivity Power Tools when using EF4.

Ryan Alford starts a new series of posts highlighting the new controls that have been added to the WP7 Toolkit and in this first post he talks about the ToggleSwitch control.

So the first control I am going to talk about is the ToggleSwitch control. It’s a control that resembles a lightswitch and is a nice was of showing an On/Off or True/False setting instead of using a plain checkbox.

In this tutorial, Ryan Alford shows how to use Silverlight 4 to get access to the client clipboard.

Silverlight 3 had limited clipboard access, but Microsoft implemented more complete access to the clipboard.

For security purposes, access to the clipboard is only allowed through a user-initialed event. For example, you couldn’t have a timer running in the background to constantly get text from the clipboard.

I will be using Blend 4 to do this tutorial. Blend will make this much easier to do rather than writing the XAML by hand.

The Visual State Manager allows you to create “states” of objects and then move to those states. Moving to those states can be done through code(just one line of code), or by using behaviors.
