Hi guys, Does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove the focus rectangle from a silverlight textbox? (I'm talking about the blue rectangle that appears when you click on the texblock to start typing) I'm looking through the default style and template for the textbox but can't seem to figure out which element to tweak. Thanks! ...
I'm working on Silverlight application that needs to display complex 2d vector graphics. It downloads zipped XAML file from the server, parses it (XamlRead) and injects to the layout root on the page. This works fine for fairly small xaml files. The problems is that I need to make it work with much bigger file (lots more content in it)...
It seems to me that, for structured development with both depth and breadth of capability, ASP.NET MVC and Silverlight have the potential to make a nice powerful framework with superior UI granularity and reduced AJAX exposure.

I have a custom CellEditingTemplate that has a textbox and a calendar control inside a grid. I've made the textbox receive the focus when the user edits the cell by pressing F2 on the keyboard.

Using silverlight I have always removed the Height and Width from the UserControl so that the user control would fill the viewport, no more and no less. Today I began testing with IE8 and observed that such is no longer the case, unless I view the page in compatibility mode. I'm using the asp:silverlight server control to host the silv...

I want my Silverlight app to fill the entire browser window. I've set the plugin object width and height to 100%, and set my LayoutRoot container's height and width to Auto, but still no luck. Any suggestions? <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /> <asp:Silverlight ID="Silverlig...
I have a silverlight app that I want to support plugin development for. I'm thinking that the plugin developer would create a dll and my main silverlight app would have some sort of config file that you would list the dll and type of the plugin, and the main app would detect, download, and load the dll for the plugin. Does this sound...
I've created two UserControls, the first of which displays a list of objects, the second of which displays details about an object that is selected from the first. I've created a dependency property on the first control and am binding each UserControl to an object declared in my Resources collection. I've seen blog posts describing this,...

In short: How would I check the type of a UI user control during a Silverlight unit test? In detail: I am loading child views into a ContentControl on a parent view. During testing I want to check that the correct view has been loaded at the correct time. My views are in separate projects, and I don't want to add a reference to those as...
Hi. I'm trying to make a simple crossword puzzle game in Silverlight 2.0. I'm working on a UserControl-ish component that represents a square in the puzzle. I'm having trouble with binding up my UserControl's properties with its' elements. I've finally (sort of) got it working (may be helpful to some - it took me a few long hours), but w...
