Visual Studio 2010: why all the foreign language folders?
In the /bin/debug folder of my solution I've noticed a slew of what appear to be foreign language folders with names like "ar", "bg", "ca", "cs", "da"... all the way to "zh-Hant". The folders each have copies of these 4 DLLs: System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.resources.dll System.Windows.Controls.Data.Input.resources.dll System.W...
Cryptography / Compression in Silverlight
I'm porting my application from WPF to Silverlight. The biggest problem is that my application uses RSA encryption and Deflate compression, and both classes are not available in Silverlight. I know that you can view the sourcecode of any .NET class using reflection, so would it be possible to just 'decompile' the RSACryptoService class,...
phone7, silverlight, move copy or rename files?
Is there any way in Phone7 to rename a file? I don't see anything in IsolatedStorageFile that exposes this functionality but perhaps I'm missing something? It seems like the best way to rename a file is to read its contents and write them to another file and then delete the original. ...
Expression Blend 4 on Windows Phone 7: Difficulty with scrolling
I'm using Expression Blend 4 to prototype a Windows Phone 7 app. I have a page that is supposed to display a news story. I'm having difficulty getting it to scroll down all the way in the emulator.

Can an XBAP only take up part of the browser screen?
I know with Silverlight you can control the width and height of the Silverlight section within the web page. However, it seems like from what I can tell when you are using XBAP you give the entire browser page area over to WPF. Is there a way to have an HTML and have XBAP be embedded within a rectangle of that HTML page? Or is this on...
Silverlight grid and an image: how do I SetColumn on image relative to the grid?
Okay, so, I've got a Silverlight app, and I'm trying to move an image around on a grid. I found that I could use Grid.Column and Grid.Row in the XAML to place the image in it's initial place. It will place relative to the grid because I have the image inside the grid tags. When I try to do the transformation from the code behind using...
Silverlight UTF8 encoder produces wacky output...
I've been trying to trace down a bug for hours now and it has come down to this: Dim length as Integer = 300 Dim buffer() As Byte = binaryReader.ReadBytes(length) Dim text As String = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) The problem is the buffer contains 300 bytes but the length of the string 'text' is now 28...
Dynamic type in method parameter.
I am passing in a dynamic type into a method and having some issues running the code. Wondering if you are able to pass a dynamic object into as a parameter using the out keyword.

Connecting to WCF windows service for silverlight
I am attempting to connect to an existing WCF service from silverlight (I have tried silverlight 4 and 3 so an answer for either would be great) that starts up via a windows service (though I am just running it from a command line project for the time being) rather than IIS and I am receiving the following error which looks as if it is c...

Moving NUnit/ReSharper tests to Silverlight
We have a WinForms application that we're planning to port to Silverlight. Obviously the UI will need to be totally rewritten, but we have a lot of business logic that's well-tested with NUnit tests. We use ReSharper to run the tests inside the IDE, and nunit-console to run the tests on the continuous integration machines. As we start m...
Silverlight - Possible to not rotate parent window overlay when ChildWindow rotates?
I've got a ChildWindow that rotates 180 degrees when I click a button. I'm also using a ChildWindow.OverlayBrush to dim out the parent window. This of course rotates as well when the ChildWindow rotates. Is there anyway to dim out the parent window without it rotating with the ChildWindow? ...

We have a Silverlight Prism project with complex state information stored in the browser bookmark. This allows us to share bookmarks/links which will restore the application to the exact same visual state. We do not however want trivial bookmark changes (i.e. non-navigation changes) to result in a browser history entry. Otherwise the br...

For example, If I have a DataGrid and it has 10 items shown and 40 not revealved (but you could scroll to). Is there a way to print the whole DataGrid, rather than just the "screen shot" view. ...
