Tutorials Dive Deep

The next phase of my Silverlight Tutorials will concentrate on more advanced topics.

TutorialsLogo

I’d like to invite you to tell me what topics you’d like to see covered; what is most pressing, most confusing or least accessible?  Feel free to drop me a note at jliberty@microsoft.com – it may take a while to get to your topic (I may try to wrap it up with others) but I will compile a complete list and try to cover them all.

Thanks!

Any chance you could look into SEO and maybe create a test project to highlight the results? As most websites rely heavily on search engine traffic if silverlight can't successfully tackle it then it limits the actual usage as a viable product when it comes to the development of websites.

Hi Jessy,

I would like to see some good examples of line of business app. It would be better for me to understand the concept if you create one from the scratch. Also a little discussion on cross-domain issue.

I agree with Ilves Line of Business apps is where I am at also.  While there are a few CRUD examples out there non are complete ith concurrency, validation and opening sub forms etc.

Hi Jesse

I'd still love to see the following :

1. Creating a template-able control from scratch (like the one in Parts and states model #3

(scorbs.com/.../parts-states-model-with-visualstatemanager-part-3-of-4)

2. Isolated Storage : Is is possible to share it between 2 instances of the app running? Perhaps some adv scoping ?

3. Creating dynamic animations from code. For instance, let's try to create a motion path F=f(x) and have an object follow it from start to end and back ?

4. Duplex communications ? We've explored the async model pretty well, how bout duplex stuff?

Best regards

SL security would be helpful to see.  IIdentity and IPrincipal on the client side, using ASP.NET Application Services for login and securing WCF calls with that login, what to do about the lack of Membership services on the client.

One of the hardes topics for me was to create a container custom control.

This has been very imporant in the control development I have done in silverlight.

Specially since once you create a content control, your application can't find controls in that container using the find method.

The contrainer control as a subject can get very confusing but is very important.

I agree with Maciek.  I like to know how to create a templatable control from scratch.  How to tell whether the implementer created a ControlTemplate, DataTemplate, and HierarchicalDataTetemplate.

Thanks,
