  • author  Chris Anderson  /  released on  Jun 30, 2010
    Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4

    Coming soon...

    Product Description

    Silverlight 4 has the potential to revolutionize the way we build business applications. With its flexibility, web deployment, cross-platform capabilities, rich .NET language support on the client, rich user interface control set, small runtime, and more, it comes close to the perfect platform in which to build business applications. It’s a very powerful technology, and despite its youth, it’s moving forward at a rapid pace and is gaining widespread adoption.

    This book will guide you through the process of designing and developing enterprise-strength business applications in Silverlight 4 and C#. You will learn how to take advantage of the power of Silverlight to develop rich and robust business applications, from getting started to deployment, and everything in between.

    In particular, this book will serve developers who want to learn how to design business applications, and introduce the patterns to use, the issues that you’ll face, and how to resolve them. Chris Anderson, who has been building line-of-business applications for years, demonstrates his experience through a candid presentation of how to tackle real-life issues, rather than just avoid them. Developers will benefit from his hard-won expertise through business application design patterns that he shares throughout the book.

    David Poll has published the material from his TechEd presentation about some features that are new to Silverlight 4 out-of-browser applications.

    On Wednesday, I had the distinct pleasure of giving a talk at this great conference, and it was a real treat getting to share some great content with you.  I’d like to thank all of you who attended for coming!  My talk – Taking Microsoft Silverlight 4 Applications Beyond the Browser – took a look at the features we’ve added for out-of-browser Silverlight applications with Silverlight 4. I went over a fair amount of material, which I promised to make available on my blog, so I’ve provided the info below.

    In this episode of Silverlight TV, Kenny Young of the Expression Blend team demonstrates how to create some impressive interactions with the help of Expression Blend 4 for Silverlight 4. 

    He demonstrates some great examples using the FluidMoveBehavior, FluidLayout, LayoutStates, Transition Effects, and sample data. Kenny then dives in and creates several of these interactions from scratch, showing exactly how easy it is to use Blend 4 to create rich Silverlight experiences.

    There is a great post written by Emiel Jongerius who describes a walk-through of the steps to perform in order to localize XAML files in Silverlight.

    This post is based on Silverlight 4, but all the steps do also apply to Silverlight 3. The full source code of the resulting project can be downloaded here. The language C# is used throughout this post, but the steps are easy translatable to VB.NET.

    David Kelley has made some updates to the HackingSilverlightCodeBrowser.

    A couple of bits of news. I did a number of updates to the HackingSilverlightCodeBrowser here:

    Check out this step by step tutorial by Martin Krüger(SilverLaw) about how to make a ChildWindow rotate.

    This day I read a question at the Expression Blend and Scetchflow Forum about how to make a ChildWindow rotate. Interesting enough to build a quick and simple solution for that, including a rotation when the ChildWindow opens. So here it is. You can view an example and download the sourcecode of a sample application at the Expression Gallery. The Sourcecode is Silverlight 3, but the implementation for Silverlight 4 is similar.

    The following step by step tutorial builds a Silverlight 4 app.

    Vincent Leung has published a project demonstrating how to create a custom OOB window in Silverlight 4.

    The MainWindow control derives from UserControl and is meant to replace the default layout root. It provides the following features:

    • A title bar that users can drag to move the window. The title bar consumes out-of-browser configuration data for the icon and title text.
    • A default border that users can drag to resize the window. Hovering over the border changes the cursor as you would expect. A BorderBrush dependency property lets you customize the border background from the application layout root.
    • Isolated Storage support to store the window size, position, and state on application shutdown and retrieve the values on the next startup.

    By using Silverlight 4, Beau Brownlee has created his own TextBox with a watermark in it. 

    One of the things I needed recently is a simple way to have a textbox that had a watermark in it. Apparantly SilverLight 4 provides it,,, and it doesn’t provide it. Check this post out. I really couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this. ‘Do not use in a Silverlight 4 application.’ and at the same time the supported version is only Silverlight 4. Aaah yes, well the only other solution is to use a watermark textbox someone else has created or to make your own. I opted to make my own.

    Michael Scherotter announces that Ball Watch USA and Microsoft are teaming up to give you a reason to try the new Expression Studio 4. You should build one of the Ball watches in Silverlight 4 in order to win a real one!

    ImageRecreate one of the Ball watches in Silverlight 4 using the new Expression Studio 4 – entirely in vector graphics – no images or video.  The entries will be judged on visual accuracy, functional accuracy, and the innovative usage of Silverlight features.

    I wrote a tutorial about a general solution to make a regular Silverlight 3 and 4 ChildWindow rotate. Quite straight forward. Additionally to the sourcecode of the contribution at the Expression Gallery the tutorial describes a reliable technique how to add a rotation at the Open procedure of a ChildWindow - ChildWindow.Show() -. This technique gives the opportunity to add every animation of your choice to the open procedure of a ChildWindow and therefore provides a solution to in full customize the open procedure.

    Have fun!
