I have to build small (for now) admin app in Silverlight2, and would like to use some pattern for binding UI with my BL/DAL. I found view-model-viewmodel and mvp/mvc patterns, where first one (V/M/VM) is specially suited for WPF apps, because it uses rich capabilities of WPF data-binding options. What do you suggest? Can you write simple...
Now that Silverlight 2 has finally shipped. I'm wondering if anyone has put together any logging frameworks for it, maybe something like enterprise library logging or log4net?

Hi all, I am working on an application that uses several large canvas controls (several thousand pixels across), layered on top of each other. The canvas controls themselves are completely invisible, but each contains a number of controls, mainly images. My question is, is there a recommended maximum size for a canvas, or is it purely...
