What might cause an image to be invisible w...
I'm looking into doing a project in Silverlight 3 using Prism and I really like the eventing aggregation as shown here http://development-guides.silverbaylabs.org/Video/Prism-Eventing All the resources seem to be pointing to using Unity with Prism and not Ninject.

Has anyone had a good look at the new Reactive Framework? This implementation of "Linq over Events" was apparently distributed with the new Silverlight 3 Toolkit, as a way to manage asynchronous events. This approach seems to be great at handling events. One could attach an IObserver to mouse events and record them asynchronou...

If I wanted to dabble with ruby, would it be easier to write an applet in Jruby or a Silverlight XAP with iron ruby? So far all I have is a vague idea that it might be possible. ...
I'm using DatePicker and TimePicker from the toolkit. I've got to hook up on the SelectedDateChanged event and I'm also setting the values in code.

What is the most impressive "rich internet application" - which is usually Javascript/Flash/Silverlight - that you have experienced? I find Google maps is like Javascript/Flash voodoo and more specifically Google Streeview wins hands down. But I'm interested to know others. ...

I'm thinking about attempting a port of an existing emulator code base to Silverlight 3. There appears to be enough functionality with WritableBitmap and the new sound classes to make a port feasible.
