I'm looking for recommendations of any free tools available for Silverlight code obfuscation.

To my understanding, binding errors are displayed only during debug mode in Visual Studio's Output window. However, I want to know about broken bindings when the user runs my app, and I want to notify him that something is not working quite right. Is there a way to handle binding exceptions from code, when the datacontext is set, and so...

Silverlight 3.0 beta has just been announced at Microsofts Mix Conference in Las Vegas. Two features of the new beta are 3D-graphics and the ability to run applications outside of the browser, which to me seemed to be two of the major features that WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) previously offered over silverlight.

I copied and pasted this bi...
I'm using some generic classes as data containers, and am using them to pass data to and from a wcf service. Because of the way WCF mangles generic names on the client side into a class named something like "ListOfBlah231546797646", I'm adding a reference to the real assembly as a "KnownType". Silverlight needs to consume these service...

I'm starting a new project soon and investigating whether or not to use MVC, Silverlight or both. This question Silverlight vs. ASP.NET MVC was a good starting point. But looking over the SL3 beta, it looks like there are two things that change the landscape just a bit. First, the navigation feature which is a direct feature of Silver...
Yes, I know it is not the intention of Silverlight to host ASP.NET and that the namespaces/classes have been removed, but I have a small personal/pet project where Cassini-like hosting functionality (localhost only is fine) from within Silverlight would be a slick feature. Can this be made to work somehow? What is missing? ...
I'm building a line-of-business application in Silverlight and need to get the user to edit two .NET TimeSpan values. One is a time of day (relative to midnight) and the other is a duration. Currently I'm using two TextBoxes, formatted as hh:mm. This is pretty straightforward, but it could definitely be improved. I've observed people usi...
