Can anyone advise on how to crop an image, let's say jpeg, without using any .NET framework constructs, just raw bytes? Since this is the only* way in Silverlight... Or point to a library? I'm not concerned with rendering i'm wanting to manipulate a jpg before uploading. *There are no GDI+(System.Drawing) or WPF(System.Windows.Media....
I'm trying to get some stats on how many of the visitors to our website have Silverlight enabled browsers. We currently use Google Analytics for the rest of our stats so ideally we'd like to just add 'Silverlight enabled' tracking in with the rest of our Google Analytics stats. But if it has to get written out to a DB etc then so be ...

I am recently in charge of an older app written in C# using asp.net 1.1. Are there any resources to guide me in converting the application to a newer version of of the .NET Framework.

I have an Image control with it's source bound to a property on an object(string url to an image). After making a service call, i update the data object with a new URL. The exception is thrown after it leaves my code, after invoking the PropertyChanged event. The data structure and the service logic are all done in a core dll that has...

I'm working on moving a client/server application created with C# and WinForms into the SOA/WPF/Silverlight world. One of the big hurdles is the design of the UI. My current UI is MDI driven and users rely heavily on child windows, having many open at the same time and toggling back and forth between them. What might be the best way to...
I'm working on a Silverlight application where I want to take advantage of the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Client library. I'm calling the library using the HTML Bridge that is part of Silverlight 2. Silverlight got great support for passing types between JavaScript and Managed Code, but now I've bumped against a problem. Microsoft ASP.NET A...
The rich presentational capabilities of WPF and Silverlight mean developers like me will be working closely with graphic designers more often these days, as is the case in my next project. Does anyone out there have any tips and experience (from both points of view) on making this go more smoothly? For example, when I mentioned sou...
There is a lot of buzz about Microsoft Silverlight, especially after the Olympics. Also H264 will be supported in a future version. Where do you think Silverlight will be 1 year from now? ...
I'm working on a web-based contest which is supposed to allow anonymous users to vote, but we want to prevent them from voting more than once. IP based limits can be bypassed with anonymous proxies, users can clear cookies, etc. It's possible to use a Silverlight application, which would have access to isolated storage, but users can sti...
Is their any profilers that support Silverlight? I have tried ANTS (Version 3.1) without any success? Does version 4 support it? Any other products I can try? Updated since the release of Silverlight 4, it is now possible to do full profiling on SL applications... check out this article on the topic At PDC, I announced that Silverli...
We need to build an administration portal website to support our client/server application. Since we're a .Net shop the obvious traditional way would be to do that in ASP.Net. But Silverlight 2 will be coming out of beta a good while before our release date. Should we consider building the whole website in silverlight instead, with a sup...
How do I create a silverlight data template in code? I've seen plenty of examples for WPF, but nothing for Silverlight. Edit: Here's the code I'm now using this for, based on the answer from Santiago below. public DataTemplate Create(Type type) { return (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load( @"<DataTemplate xmlns=""http...
Is there a way to get at the ItemContaner of a selected item in a listbox? In Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1 I could, but the container is hidden in Beta 2 of Silverlight 2.0. I'm trying to resize the listbox item when it is unselected to a specific size and when selected to a variable size. I also want to get the relative position of the se...
Silverlight v2.0 is getting closer and closer to RTM but I have yet to hear any stats as to how many browsers are running Silverlight. If I ask Adobe (by googling "Flash install base") they're only too happy to tell me that 97.7% of browsers are running Flash player 9 or better. Not that I believe everything I read, but where are these ...

Even though Silverlight2 is still in it's infancy, can anyone recommend a book to get started with? One that has more of a developer focus than a designer one? ...
It seems that Silverlight/WPF are the long term future for user interface development with .NET. This is great because as I can see the advantage of reusing XAML skills on both the client and web development sides. But looking at WPF/XAML/Silverlight they seem very large technologies and so where is the best place to get start? I would ...
I might be missing something really obvious. I'm trying to write a custom Panel where the contents are laid out according to a couple of dependency properties (I'm assuming they have to be DPs because I want to be able to animate them.) However, when I try to run a storyboard to animate both of these properties, Silverlight throws a Cat...
