The company where I work created this application which is core to our business and relies on the web browser to enforce certain "rules" that without them renders the application kinda useless to our customers. Sorry about having to be circumspect, An NDA along with a host of other things prevents me from saying exactly what the applica...

Hi all, I'm wondering if people can suggest the best tutorial that will walk me through the best way to do Drag and Drop with control collision detection etc, using MS Silverlight V2.

I'm missing the boat on something here, kids. This keeps rearing its head and I don't know what's going on with it, so I hope my homeys here can help. When working in Silverlight, when I create bindings in my c# code, they never hold up when the application is running. The declarative bindings from my xaml seem ok, but I'm doing somet...
In a silverlight application, I want to access the page the silverlight .xap file from an HTTP subdomain, but have the web services access a different subdomain for sensitive information over HTTPS. I set up clientaccesspolicy.xml at the root of the subdomain and it lets the silverlight app access its services over http, but not over ht...
I'm currently playing with the Silverlight(Beta 2) Datagrid control. Before I wired up the SelectionChanged event, the grid would sort perfectly by clicking on the header. Now, when the grid is clicked, it will fire the SelectionChanged event when I click the header to sort. Is there any way around this? In a semi-related topic, I'd ...
Google created protocol buffers as a replacement for the bulky XML method of data transition. Faster XML processing was just not good enough. Most of the web has grown up as a hodge podge of different technologies that have been integrated to work within the browser or to generate html. JavaScript is separate from HTML. Flash and Sil...

Continuing my problem from yesterday, the Silverlight datagrid I have from this issue is now causing Stack Overflow errors when sorting a column with a large amount of data (Like the text column that contains a where clause for a SQL statment). When you sort, it'll fire the SelectedIndexChanged event for the datagrid and then still try ...
My colleague has found himself in an "interesting" situation. He is working on a Silverlight (2.0) prototype that needs to call existing web services in the enterprise and bind the returned data to data-display controls. The thing is, the web services return .NET DataSets (they are not about to change existing implementations) and Silver...
Hi guys, this should be simple...could someone provide me a simple code sample that has an aspx page hosting both a silverlight app (consisting of, say a button) and an iframe (pointing to, say stackoverflow.com). The silverlight app and iframe could be in separate div's, the same div, whatever. Everything I've tried so far leaves me w...
I have a Silverlight 2 application that is consuming a WCF service. As such, it uses asynchronous callbacks for all the calls to the methods of the service. If the service is not running, or it crashes, or the network goes down, etc before or during one of these calls, an exception is generated as you would expect. The problem is, I d...
I've written a small hello world test app in Silverlight which i want to host on a Linux/Apache2 server. I want the data to come from MySQL (or some other linux compatible db) so that I can databind to things in the db. I've managed to get it working by using the MySQL Connector/.NET: MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("Server=...
I am currently testing with Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2, and my goal is to define a resource element once and then reuse it many times in my rendering. This simple example defines a rectangle (myRect) as a resource and then I attempt to reuse it twice -- which fails with the error: Attribute {StaticResource myRect} value is out of range. [L...

We are building a training website where we need to track viewers watching videos and store detailed info about the viewing (when they paused, if they watched the whole video etc) What should we consider when deciding between the two technologies?

I have a Silverlight 1.0 application that I edit with Blend 2.5. Whenever I touch a UIElement in the designer that has a Canvas attribute such as Canvas.ZIndex="1", when it updates the XAML, it changes the Canvas prefix to Panel, leaving Panel.ZIndex="1", causing the page to fail to load. How do I make it stop the insanity!?! I have u...
