Each Entity in the model is of this type: global::System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject but that type wasn't working in SilverLight. I'd li...
I am concerned with MITM attacks in the Silverlight application I am writing. The site will be running over SSL. If my site is the victim of a MITM attack, as far as I know, my only defense right now is the warning page the browser displays when the site's certificate is untrusted. Since it is only a browser, the best it can do is simply...
I am familiar with XAML, but I'm no expert. I'm not a designer. In the past I learned much by examining other people's code, good and bad. Is this a reasonable approach with Silverlight? and if so, where can I look at open-source SL projects or examples? If this is not a good approach, what do you recommend? Or should I just punt ...

So, the web, and StackOverflow, have plenty of nice answers for how to bind a combobox to an enum property in WPF. But Silverlight is missing all of the features that make this possible :(. For example: You can't use a generic EnumDisplayer-style IValueConverter that accepts a type parameter, since Silverlight doesn't support x:Type. Y...

Hello. I'm trying to build a Silverlight application where I use 5 XAMLS. The first one, "Page.xaml" contains a menu with 4 buttons and a Canvas to receive the each content XAML.

I was wondering if I can customise the look and feel of the OOB window of my SL app? I want it to look different than the standard windows frame (maybe at least change the visible buttons like minimise or maximise...) thanks ...
Why do the Silerlight-generated WCF proxy class(es) offer only async calls? There are cases where I don't really need the async pattern (for example in a BackgroundWorker) EDIT : Sometimes I need to process the results of two WCF calls. It would have been much simpler if I could have waited (the business of the app allows that) for bot...
In our silverlight app I'm trying to determine what browser the user is running in. The silverlight runtime already helps me a bit here: string browserName = HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Name; However, the browserName is 'Netscape' both under Chrome and Firefox and the same goes for the BrowserVersion property (probably because Chrome ...
