When I select some data rows from mssql2005 database and bind them to datagrid, dates selected from db are invalid. For example in db I have date in form: 2009-05-10 00:00:00.000 but when it is displayed in data grid it looks like this: 5/9/2009 10:00:00 PM So it shows 2 hours earlier then saved in db. 05 - it is month :-) What a...
I'm using a ListBox to display a horizontal display of 800 thumbnails, but only 6 at a time (depending on screen resolution), I want to move through the images using buttons either side of the list. I currently have this working, but when I change the SelectedItem of the listbox to next/previous thumbnail the ScrollViewer doesn't autom...
I'd like to reskin a Silverlight app to be more visually compelling. Unfortunately, I went to school for computer science, not design, and I have trouble deciding if two colors even match. How do I get started? Let me add that time and money are both factors so pursuing a design degree isn't an option (though it might be ideal). EDIT...
We have a working WPF app that we are looking into running in the browser via Silverlight. The big question mark right now is; what kind of file access will we have (without jumping thought to many hoops)? Can we open server-side files? Can we open client-side files? Can we get change notification on files (client or server side)? Can ...
While playing a sound file in silverlight, I'd like to display the wave form (or get an amplitude value at least) of the output. Is there a standard way to do this? EDIT: Is this possible in SL3? Or SL4? ...
I'm attempting to split up my WCF web services into a few services instead of 1 giant service. But the Visual Studio (Silverlight client) duplicates the common classes shared by both services. Here is a simple example to illustrate my problem. In this example there are two services. Both return the type "Person". By default VS will ...

This is the same Question as one I asked earlier BUT that one was in reference to normal C#. This is Silverlight 2, and I don't have ICustomTypeDescriptor So here is the question again: I have, say a few switch panels (for those that like analogies). Each of these switch panels has switches that have a Name(string) can be in state(bool...
It seems like a common question on Google, but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer (unless the answer is 'no') I would like to add menu items or show a custom menu when a user right-clicks on my Silverlight app. The closest thing that I found catches the context menu in IE, but not in Firefox, and Chrome shows the context menu and t...

Hi, I'm using a WrapPanel to format some text. During runtime I add TextBlocks and StackPanels as Children. Obviously I need a scrollbar depending on the data size. Searching the web I found multiple answers which all propose to put a ScrollViewer around the WrapPanel. That makes sense to me, but I cannot get it to work. Here's my code:...
I'm writing a Silverlight application that can go "full screen" (think YouTube full screen). This is simple enough. However, I want to offer the user the ability to KEEP the app full screen even if they click away. My users have multiple monitors and so it doesn't always make sense to shrink the app back into the browser. At present, if...

I made a couple simple games in Silverlight. I'm considering making a much deeper game for Windows. It would have a feature limited version available in Silverlight for use in the browser. What would you recommend I use for the client application (not in a browser or Silverlight)? If any additional information is required, I'll try...
