Why do we have to spend more $$$ for Expression Blend after I already spent $$$$ for Visual Studio 2008 with MSDN subscription? Will there be a service pack for 2008 to support this, will it be part of VS2010, or will we always have to use a separate tool? Thanks ...
I have a couple of applications for clients that were dragged into the web kicking and screaming. I'd like to take a crack at moving some to Silverlight 3.0 if even just as a proof of concept exercise. I'd like to see if I could make them full apps, layout and all. I think the layout of the web app along w/ the graphics is good and do...

Any hope of "living" in IronPython when I do Silver...

So, I want to create some Silverlight charts from some data on my ASP.NET web page. The way to do this, either using Visifire (my current thing) or the upcoming Silverlight charting, seems to be to create some XAML, or at least some Silverlight objects (like in this Visifire sample), and then stuff them into the page somehow. Strangely,...
