Is there something similar for Silverlight? -Edit: I would like to mention that I would like to find members of the dev team themselves. Curre...
In C#, is it possible to extend a class that has no constructors? Maybe I'm thinking about this incorrectly and just need a kick in the crotch.

In a WinForms UserControl, I would pass data to the main GUI thread by calling this.BeginInvoke() from any of the control's methods. What's the equivalent in a Silverlight UserControl? In other words, how can I take data provided by an arbitrary worker thread and ensure that it gets processed on the main displatch thread? ...
I have a canvas inside a scrollview. I attached a keydown event handler to the scrollview. For most keys, the handler gets called. However, for the arrow keys, the handler does not get called. Instead, the scrollview gets scrolled in the appropriate direction. I also attached a keyup handler to the scrollview and the keyup does get ca...

When I first load data into a Silverlight DataGrid control, how can I make the screen look exactly as if the user had just clicked the header of the first column?

I have to build small (for now) admin app in Silverlight2, and would like to use some pattern for binding UI with my BL/DAL. I found view-model-viewmodel and mvp/mvc patterns, where first one (V/M/VM) is specially suited for WPF apps, because it uses rich capabilities of WPF data-binding options. What do you suggest? Can you write simple...

Hi, I've read that Silverlight 2.0 imposes by design an asynchronous model when communicating with the web server. I haven't had a chance to experiment with Silverlight, but I assume that it uses a thread-pool to manage threads like in the .NET Framework. Now, since some browsers, most notably Internet Explorer, have an hard-coded limit...

I'm tinkering with Silverlight 2.0. I have some images, which I currently have a static URL for the image source. Is there a way to dynamically load the image from a URL path for the site that is hosting the control? Alternatively, a configuration setting, stored in a single place, that holds the base path for the URL, so that each ima...
Someone on SO mentioned they'd bought a copy and I'm damned if I can find the question again. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverlight-2-Bible-Brad-Dayley/dp/0470375000/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224844673&sr=1-2 Has anyone bought this, if so is it worth it?

Simple example: public class Person() { private string _firstName; private DateTime _birthdate; private int _favoriteNumber; //Properties } If I create a new Person() and bind it to a form with text boxes. Birth Date displays as 01/01/0001 and ...
I have a data set whose elements are displayed as rows in a DataGrid. The sort order for the rows changes in response to external events.
