Jesse,

What is the safest method for implementing threads in Silverlight...I tried using BackGround worker, which updates/refreshes my datagrid at regular invervals from the database.The problem I faced was the number of threads increases continously and the performance of the application is slower..Any other approach i can use?

Thanks,

Mohammad Sadiq

i'm sorry, my mistake. I used BitmapImage in worker, this caused SecurityException.

I want to make similar background loading of selected files in OpenFileDialog.

But it not works, I got security error by file.OpenRead();

'((System.IO.FileStream)(fileStream)).Name' threw an exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException'

Looks like BackgroundWorker have no access to selected files.

I'm missing something?

Jesse: Do you know of any tutorials demonstrating using the autocompletebox calling a web service?

I'll have to thank Tim who suggested the idea of using our screen capture software to make these gifs; I agree with you that used judiciously they can be more than just bling.

Thanks.

Jesse, you asked if this new format of screen shots (with animation) is helpful. Many people think a form with moving parts (animation) is just to jazz things up, but don't realize the value it can bring if used at the right time. For example in this case where you show how the Auto complete is working or how the counter works and so on, is much more intuitive than if it was "Static" image. I know it's much harder on you, but cases like this, can make a big difference.

I was looking at some Yoga information and I see One image before she started the move and one image when the move was completed. And then she was trying to "Describe" what's happens between. Well, can you guess how many different [wrong ways] you can do between and not even knowing it. So, animation can deliver very essential data that changes based on other factors like time or speed or heat and etc.

Great article Jesse!!!

Great post, Jesse. I want to bring up the suggestions list even if the AutoCompleteBox is empty. Any suggestions on how to implement this?

Thanks,
