I read and article talking about moving beyond 960px width for websites. This width is considered optimal since it is divisable by 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 16 (no these aren't the Lost Numbers ;-) ) This helps in grid placement and this really doesn't apply to Silverlight apps but I started to wonder what would be optimal. What w...

I'm in the process of developing a Silverlight custom control that "hosts" a Flash instance. The way that you do this, of course, is to position the HTML element in question over your Silverlight instance, as described, say, here.

I have an application that shows a screen of image thumbnails, each image is around 80k and they are stored in a database.
