This sounds like it should be simple. I have a Page declared in XAML in the normal way (i.e. with "Add new item...") and it has a custom property. I'd like to set that property in the XAML associated with the page. Trying to do this the same way that I'd set any other property doesn't work, for reasons I understand but don't know how to...

When user point any image with mouse it should get shiny: eith...

We currently use Silverlight 4 with WCF services and try to read large arrays of users objects from service. In our code it takes about 0.5 (and less) seconds to generate 700 objects, arranged by hierarchy (a lot of loops). And it takes about 4-5 seconds for Silverlight/WCF to communicate that data - on localhost. I've measured timings...

I'm trying to find out if any sample Cloth simulation exists with code in WPF or Silverlight. So far this is what I've found: It's been done in DirectX and then used as an ImageBrush in WPF, but I mean without a DirectX and without a C++ dependency. It's been done in Flash and even Javascript so it's definitely possible performance wi...
I am using Silverlight 3.0 and WCF Data Services 1.0 (Astoria) and Entity Framework 1.0. I have an entity that is an exact replica of a database table. Within that table, some fields/columns are updated after certain other columns are updated from the Client form (SL), i.e. like a computed column. Upon saving from the client, everyt...
My Silverlight 4 application keeps in contact with a server side through a wcf service. Whenever the user refreshes, navigates away or terminates the browser I should do some cleanup towards the server side. I can not use the Application Exit event; my wcf client is dead before it eventually gets called. I can not use the (new in SL4) F...

Whenever I set a TextBox's FontSize dependency property to a value less than 6.0, whether in XAML or in code, an ArgumentException is thrown. Is there any way to work around this arbitrary limit? ...

I am working on a silverlight 4 business application. for the form based authentication I created a user database with all the user, role and profile tables on SQL Express. In my VS2010 ASP.NET configuration I can see and manage my users and roles by adding, removing or modifying them. So, I assume my app.config connectionstrings set...
I am trying to hit test in Silverlight applications to find the elements under the mouse cursor. Normally VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates works for this. If there is a Popup open I need to pass in the popup to the hit testing method. If there are multiple popups open, I need to determine the correct (topmost) popup to pas...
