I'm using ADO.NET dataservices in a Silverlight application and since the silverlight libraries don't support the ToList() call on the IQueryable I thought it might be possible to create an extension method around this called SilverlightToList(). So in this method I'm calling the BeginExecute method on my context as shown below: ...

If I create an ADO .Net Data Service, can I access it from Silverlight accross domains as long as I don't use the ADO .Net Silverlight Client helpers and I have a propery crossdomain.xml file in place?

Hello, I started to use silverlight/flex and immediately bumped into the asynchronous service calling. I'm used to solving the data access problems in an OO-way with one server fetch mechanism or another. I have the following trivial code example: public double ComputeOrderTotal(Order order) { double total = 0; // OrderLines ar...
In Silverlight (and I guess WPF) why are the properties x:name x:fieldmodifier x:uid the only ones with the prefix x. I understand the x prefix is used to refer to the XML namespace but there are a number of other properties that do not use a prefix such as width. Identifying a control is such a common task it seems odd to require a pr...

How can I do this? <ListBox x:Name="MachineListBox" Background="Green"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> ...
Since silverlight does not have any support for DataSets/DataTables, what would be the best approach if I wanted to consume a table of data from a database? A bit like this: user action in silverlight -> get data from server -> display in GridView The thing is, I do NOT know how many and which columns the data will have... Can I bind ...
Hey guys/gals. I have a silverlight 2 app that has an ObservableCollection of a class from a separate assem/lib. When I set my ListBox.ItemsSource on that collection, and run it, I get the error code: 4004 "System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range."

Ok, all these methods of getting data in a Silverlight control are confusing me. I've looked at ADO.Net Data Services, Web Service and Ailverlight-enabled WCF services. I'm just not sure when one is appropriate to use over another. What pros/cons do each offer? I've built a web app, and a silverlight control. I will be adding one of ...
What are your opinions and experiences regarding using TDD when developing an user interface? I have been pondering about this question for some time now and just can't reach a final decision. We are about to start a Silverlight project, and I checked out the Microsoft Silverlight Unit Test Framework with TDD in mind, but I am not sure ...
I'm going on an extended road-trip, and I plan on bringing a laptop. I was thinking of downloading a bunch of the Silverlight articles at silverlight.net/learn (I'm not a videos guy) I'm comfortable with /(?:Iron)?Python|Ruby|C#/. I'm not looking for .NET or language intros. I'd like sources that get down-and-dirty with DLR and Silverlig...
Hello We have been using Adobe Flex for a major project but it's just too slow. We're considering switching to Silverlight. The problem seems to be that Silverlight is not as widely supported by browsers as Flex/Flash is. For example I tried to access the Silverlight showcase using Safari for Windows but it didn't work. A web RIA pl...
We are considering switching from Adobe Flex to Silverlight because Flex is just too slow.

I'm interested in developing applications on the iPhone and being a .NET & ActionScript developer I'm a bit scared from the learning curve of Objective-C Cocoa Touch programming. I know that Adobe has Flash player ready for iPhone and I think that Apple doesn't want it just for political reason. Is there any easy alternative to build a...
I've coded some smaller projects using Silverlight 2.0, which is fairly impressive. Does Silverlight 2.0 have what it takes to be a game development platform for the web? (Are the framerates high enough, will there be 3D engines developed, and many more questions) Yes or no, with detail if desired, and why. ...
