Slides & Source from my Silverlight talk

08 Aug
My thanks to everyone who came to my talk... I promised I'd put my slides up on the interwebs. Here are the slides and here is the source code If you do want to run the system, the first thing to do is browse to default.aspx, and then .net will create the membership database (10 megs) for you. I deleted this just before i uploaded the code. You can log in anonymously as well. If anyone's thought of some more questions, please post a comment right here or email me (rob@robfe.com). To the software engineering student who wanted to embed her own silverlight app onto any old web page, I had a brainwave after I answered your question. You can probably use a bookmarklet (like firebug lite do) to insert your own content (div + silverlight loader) into whatever page the user is looking at. It'd definitely be easier than writing a plugin. If you don't want the user to have to click the bookmarklet for every page they want your widget on, GreaseMonkey is a firefox plugin that you can configure to automatically run javascript on any web page. Feel free to email me for more details

    Hi Rob
    Good ppt realy.It helps understanding SL.I am learning quite a long time infact I am done with my first SL(beta 2) app.Now I am stuck up at a point.I dont how could I do validations.I guess its not as easy as it is with simple asp.net app.
    Please reply If you have some ideas.

    Hmm if that’s all you want to do then how about using a DatePicker? Don’t forget to add the reference to your project since it’s not in the main silverlight DLL

    Hey Rob
    I am really sorry – too late to reply.But all of sudden I had to stop working on SL. Thanks for your help. But when will we have registration form and every field has to be validate I mean there should be some inbuilt functionality like asp.Net.Do you Know when the final version of SL2 wud release.

    Great stuff Rob. Enjoyed the talk & dem & (as you say) the best code camp ever. I will work through your sample code as time allows.

    One trivial comment re your spelling of the word ‘definitely’ as ‘definately’. It appears twice on your blog-space so I just thought I’d be pedantic & point it out :-)

    Oh no! snapped. I thought it looked wrong. I *certainly* need to look into using something with a spell checker!
