I've been googling and binging all morning to find a suitable solution for web-based user help. We've got Sandcastle for dev help, but I'm wondering what people are using for user help for a Silverlight project? I'm interested in options from rolling our own to a comprehensive help doc system. (And is HTML Help dead? the GUI still has...

I have a canvas object and I am sprinkling fantastic controls all over it. I'm using a ScaleTransform object to scale the canvas so I can zoom in/out. I have wired up the controls so that I can drag them around, and the drag and drop works well by using MouseLeftButtonDown, MouseLeftButtonUp, and MouseMove. Now, I want to work on ena...
I'm developing a modular app using prism in SL3, one of the modules is responsible for persisting the application settings in the isolated storage (so that when you open the app next time, you continue where you were). It works perfectly, except that I don't like the way dependencies are wired now. I want to have a type-agnostic settin...

I can present multiple pages in Silverlight using Content = new DetailsPage(); However is this can be confusing to a user who may not even know the page is in Silverlight and would be expecting to hit the back button on the browser. Obviously I can add my own buttons but this doesn't seem right. How can I allow "normal" browser navi...
So I have a datagrid that I need to add custom sorting for and I also need to know the exact order of the sort. I have read in order to do this I need to implement a custom icollectionview and bind it to the datagrid.

I've got a LINQ 2 SQL generated class I'd like to expose through a webservice. There are some internal properties I don't want to be available. Normally I'd throw [XmlIgnore] in there but because the properties are in the generated half I can't do that. I've been looking at using MetadataType following this post which looks like it sho...

Hi, I've been looking at the PollingDuplexHttpBinding available in silverlight 2 and 3 and had a couple of questions I haven't been able to find any information on.

I have a button which launches a "modal dialog" - it just creates a transparent grid covering everything, with the "dialog" created on top of that. However I have a strange issue - if I double/triple click the button really fast (or add some delay in the event code), the button click event is executed multiple times, creating multiple o...
I have two ComboBox elements, one with databinding and one without. On the one without I can set the SelectedIndex fine. But on the one that is databound, if I set the SelectedIndex, it says, "AG_E_INVALID_ARGUMENT". But if I set it to a value in the ViewModel (SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedCustomerIndex}") then it says "Object refe...
