In order to learn silverlight on WP7 I'm playing with it around and well, I can't say I'm having sweet times here. I'm developing a simple, yet ugly Mine game (like windows's ^^). The problem is that I'm gonna use a button for each case on the mines board, but I can't manage to find a way to preview a grid with cells containing my butto...

I have a DataGrid in my Silverlight application that I would like to highlight an entire column when that column is sorted. It's similar in concept to this previous question: Silverlight DataGrid: Highlight an entire column. Any ideas? I've thought maybe attaching a behavior to the LayoutUpdated event and checking a cell to see if it's...

Hi, We're setting up a TeamCity build server for continuous integration. To keep things clean, we don't want to install Visual Studio on the build server. I'm wondering how we can build Silverlight 4 apps without it? I'd expect there to be a Silverlight 4 SDK which installs separately from VS - but so far I haven't found one. There's ...
Hi, Is there a way to bypass the Silverlight port range (4502-4532) security restriction for TCP connections? Maybe a 3rd party implementation of TcpSocket that does not enforce the 4502-4532 port range? ...

I've got a Silverlight application that makes a cross-domain request. The clientaccesspolicy.xml file exists on the server I am making a request to and is correctly configured. I know that it is correctly configured because when I use the application to make a request from my machine I receive a response with no problem. When a second...

To my understanding , unlike ASP.NET based websites which use ADO.NET to communicate to the database, a silverlight based app always needs a WCF or RIA services to communicate to DB. We know that ASP.NET websites are not tightly coupled to the database ...

Within ASP.net, I can usually do something like this: using (var rawBitmap = new Bitmap(postedFile.InputStream)){ var dpi = (decimal)rawBitmap.VerticalResolutio...

I'm attempting to iterate through all User Profiles in SharePoint 2010 from a Silverlight application that will be added to a SharePoint page. Based on what I've learned, the User Profile Service is different than the SharePoint Website's store of a list of users who are "members" of the site or have ever visited it. To get that list of ...
This should be really simple.

In one of my projects we have a streaming web site that needs to synchronize HTML content with a video stream down to a ~100 ms level. Currently we are using WMV and Microsoft's Mediaplayer ActiveX object for this, which basically limits us to IE as a platform. As a prototype a while ago I tried out a Silverlight based media player (cus...
