I have a silverlight datagrid with a single editable column. This column has a combo box. To open the combo i have to click on the cell three times. Once to select the row, once to enter edit mode, and once to open the combo. IMHO this is really bad UX so I would like the row to enter edit mode when the user does a row click or mouse...
Hi, I've made a little game in silverlight that records users scores whilst they play. I decided it would be a lot better if I could implement a leaderboard, so I created a database in mySQL to store all the high scores along with names and dates.

So, I have a very simple view model: public class MyViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged { private bool changingProperty; public bool ChangingProperty { ge...
I have a simple control with code to add some paths. When I add my control to the control canvas, nothing shows up. To make sure that I wasn't crazy, I debugged through the code, and created a XAML equivalent and placed it off to the side of where my control should be showing up.

Most of the software we develop has to communicate with hardware devices in the local network using TCP/IP, UDP/IP or serial ports. This is probably the only reason we still target WPF instead of Silverlight for our UI. Socket support in Silverlight 2/3 is poor at best and way to limited. I've read the updated desktop mode in Silverligh...
In Silverlight, there is the SaveFileDialog which allows you to save a file to the user's local machine. The dialog opens only allowing you to save the file. What I'm looking for is a way to open the file similar to the dialog you get when downloading a file through the browser. Aside from round-tripping the file to a server, or havin...
