Let's assume that In the App.cs - I'd add a field to the class representing the application. Can I access that field from the app's pages? If so, how can I do that? Am I correct to assume that once initialized this member field would be "alive" for the duration of the application's runtime ? ...

Hi, We're developing a Silverlight Client onto a server-based API exposed via WCF. I'm trying to move my WCF client code (which works fine) from a configuration-based model to a programmatic model. This will enable me to have a single "root" URL which I can apply at start-up and not require installations to have to maintain humongous c...
I have a control template with a toggle button. This ToggleButton has it's IsChecked property one way bound to a dependancy property. If i set the dependancy property explicitly the binding works. The problem is that after I interact with the toggle button in the UI, the bindings don't update the IsChecked property if I set the depend...
Quite often when coming back to Visual Studio from Expression Blend 3, I see that Blend has helpfully added a "d:LayoutOverrides" property to my XAML. Growing up with ASP.NET designers, I naturally distrust anything I wouldn't type myself, so remove them as soon as I see them. I know that "d:" properties are designer-only and don't imp...

This works fine for images with landscape orientations, in that they scale up to fill the space, mai...

We know that Silverlight currently in 3.0.x version - very fast transition from Silverlight 2.0.x. For those using Windows and Mac, it will not be an issue since the runtime supports those platform. The problem is with Linux users. I know that Mono guys (through Moonlight project) are doing their best to keep it up to date with Silverlig...
Hi, when hovering my mouse over a wrapped textbox, I want to get the word or text position immediately under the mouse. I've seen some samples for a single textbox, like this one, but I have a wrapped textbox. I think I might be able to do this if I had a MeasureString function but I don't have that either in Silverlight (would be usefu...
