  • Themes in Modular Silverlight Applications

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Sep 16, 2010 (1 month ago)
    Jeremy Likness discusses the best practices for themes in modular Silverlight applications.

    When building large Silverlight applications, it makes sense to build sets of styles that can be shared across the application. Many examples on the web illustrate placing these in the App.xaml file and then you are off to the races. Unfortunately, when you are building modular applications, it's not that simple. The dependent modules still require design-time friendly views, and to make that happen requires a few steps.

    Mike Taulty has a video tutorial in which he takes a look at how styles work in Silverlight.

    Source: Active Tuts+

    The ability to apply style to user interface elements is something that we’re familiar with from HTML/CSS. Silverlight has some similar mechanisms for applying groups of common properties to parts (or the whole) of your user interface. In this video, we’re going to dive into styling in Silverlight.

    We’ll take a brief look at how styles work in Silverlight, how we can apply them either individually or globally and how we often package them into resource collections for re-use and also so that we can swap them dynamically at run time to allow replaceable application “themes”.

  • A Dial Custom Control

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Aug 24, 2010 (1 month ago)
    In his last post, Phil Middlemiss described a Dial User Control and now he wants to turn it into a Custom Control

    Source: Silverlight Scratchpad

    Here is the control with a couple of different styles, with some of the dials bound to an items source. I also added an animation for the dial positions being added and removed. You can see this by changing the value of the big dial in the bottom left corner; its value sets the MaxValue of the top left dial.

    In Part 3 of 4 of his series on styles in Silverlight, Gergely Orosz explores some further advanced topics like data binding, change notification, declaring styles in code behind and some other useful notes on styles.

    This article is part 3 of 4 in a series covering everything that I think is worth knowing about styles in Silverlight. The previous parts of the series are Styles in Silverlight: an Introduction and Styles in Silverlight – Inheritance, Precedence and Other Advanced Topics.

    Karsten Januszewski blogged about the system styles available for text in Windows Phone 7.

    For example, I noticed the following XAML that referenced PhoneTextTitle1Style in one of the Visual Studio project templates:

                <TextBlock x:Name="ListTitle" Text="{Binding LineOne}" Margin="-3,-8,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>

    I then wanted to figure out what all the system styles were.  How to do it? Expression Blend!

    Karsten Januszewski explored the default styles in Windows Phone 7 tools and posted tips on using them.

    I was playing around with the Windows Phone 7 tools and noticed that there are some system styles available for text.  For example, I noticed the following XAML that referenced PhoneTextTitle1Style in one of the Visual Studio project templates:

                <TextBlock x:Name="ListTitle" Text="{Binding LineOne}" Margin="-3,-8,0,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextTitle1Style}"/>

    I then wanted to figure out what all the system styles were.  How to do it? Expression Blend!  By going to the Assets tab and then clicking Styles --> System Styles, I was able to see all the styles:

    This article is part 1 of a series in which Gergely Orosz is going to cover everything that worths knowing about styles in Silverlight 4.

    Styles in Silverlight are a powerful mechanism that allow controlling the visual representation of elements in a unified way for all user interface elements. The concept is similar to using CSS to control the look and feel of HTML.

    Style properties differ by element type. For example on a TextBlock (a text element) one can style the FontSize, FontFamily, Foreground and lots of other properties. On an Ellipse however none of these properties can be set, on the other hand it does provide for example the Fill property, that the TextBlock does not.

  • Data Validation And Templating in Silverlight 4

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Jul 26, 2010 (2 months ago)
    In the fifth part of his series on Templates and DataValidation, Jesse Liberty is creating an application that demonstrates how to modify the Visual State for invalid data. 

    In this first approach, we’ll create the MVVM project as well as the editing form and we’ll populate it with data from an object.  To get started, open Expression Blend 4 (or Visual Studio 2010)  and select MvvmLight (SL4)  Name the project Validation and make sure Language is set to C# (or VB if you are transposing) and the Version is set to 4.0.  Click OK.

    Jesse's previous posts you can find here:

    This is the first of a multipart series on the Visual State Manager in which Jesse Liberty will cover styles, resources, templates, custom controls and customizing data validation.

    Let’s start with the form that is used in my Getting Started With Silverlight video: Adding Controls To An Application.  That video uses the design surface in Visual Studio 2010, and a subsequent video creates the grid in Xaml. To round things out I’ll create this version in Expression Blend.

    I’ll begin by opening Blend and creating a new project. I’ll click  in the grid margins to create 5 rows and 2 columns. 

  • A Chrome and Glass Theme - Part 8

    In the next part from the series, Phil Middlemiss demonstrates how he made the radio buttons he blogged about previously.

    These buttons have gone through many iterations and I’m still not sure I’m quite happy with them just yet, but I’ll cover them anyway since they introduce a few interesting attached properties.

    If you are not familiar with Phil's series, you better first read his introductory post.
