In a previous post I showed a screenshot of all the controls available to you in SketchFlow. The below application takes it one step further by displaying the live controls. For the record, the SketchFlow styles are re-distributable.

Testing Silverlight from Windows Live Writer
Today SmartyP (did you get that Roger, I didn’t use your name) was letting me know what Grinds his Gears which is: Why do Silverlight bloggers not embed Silverlight applications into their posts. Admittedly, I don’t have a single post that has an embedded Silverlight app. The root of the my problem is the lack [...]
First InsideRIA post!!
Today marks my first post on O’Reilly’s InsideRIA. It was about last weeks Silverlight 3 / Blend 3 launch. Fore more…here’s the link: http://www.insideria.com/2009/07/silverlight-3-launch.html
Overview of Sample Data in Blend 3
One of my favorite, if not my favorite, feature of Blend 3 is Sample data. At the beginning of a project I often create a simple XML file to represent the data I’m expecting. This enables me to focus on UI tasks while the backend services are being created. Designers generally don’t go as far [...]
SketchFlow Controls

For the most part they ended up being worthless pieces of crap. Did you really want to be that guy who pulls out a large laminated quick [...]

Meaning, instead of a standard Tooltip, a designer might want to add polish by adding animation or having a rich UI to a overlay. Initially you may consider [...]
YouTube video in Silverlight 3

Video controls were implemented in Silverlight, and were wired up with JavaScript. YouTube is moving toward the h.264 encoding for their videos. (My guess is to [...]
ToggleButton Command for Prism
Prism Commands enables you to handle user interactions in Xaml. Even though the plumbing is there, Prism lacks commanding support for everything but Buttons. Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to create new Commands for a range of controls. This post details how to create a Checked and UnChecked Command for the ToggleButton (which can be applied [...]
Versioning your Silverlight application
When writing an enterprise level application it’s critical to have a version number. Whether it’s located on the help screen or in debug mode, this will save you so much heartache during QA. The larger the project, the more dependent your team is on the version. Now that I’m all done ranting to the converted, [...]

Silverlight in Atlanta
A much needed thing happened tonight, I finally registered both AtlantaSilverlight.com and AtlSilverlight.com. Over the past couple months, I’ve been running the Atlanta Silverlight Meetup. In July I’ll be organizing the Atlanta Silverlight Firestarter. Needless to say, there are a number of Atlanta Silverlight events that are budding, and as a result there needs to [...]
