Mark - I think you are looking for something like this:

One of the interesting interim results is that the topic folks find least important is markers in video and hyper video. I'll do a post soon on why i think this is a very undervalued and overlooked Silverlight capability :-)

MountainDotNet, yes, we definately will bring"VideoLibrary" up to date.

Hi,

I found the two videos you did for Silverlight 1 titled "How to Create a Video Library 1 & 2" (Videos 70 & 71) very helpful.

Do you have any plans to maybe redo this same exercie in Silverlight 2? It would be very nice to see this come together using Blend and also to have the VB .Net code.

Have tried to rewrite it from scratch in Silverlight 2 and it is ahead of my learning curve at present.

Alternatively, I have looked everywhere for something like this with VB code in Silverlight 2 but no luck. Should you have a link or some direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We're up over 200 responses and counting. The feedback (with one very nasty exception) is very positive and very helpful and the results are amazingly consistent.

Once the torrent slows, I'll report back, but as they say I don't want to report results until the polls close as I don't want to affect voters where the polls close late :-)

I'm thrilled to say that we have 70 responses in the first couple hours. Keep them coming!! They're incredibly valuable, and I'll post a summary in just a couple days.

Mark,

It woudl be great if you'd put that info into the survey, but actually i'm not quite sure how creating a web service is part of Silverlight (unless I'm misunderstanding you).

I'm happy to demo that, but it really falls under WCF, (Silverlight is just a consumer) and I'm pretty sure there is a whole Microsoft site devoted to telling you all about that.

(I do a 30 page intro in Programming .NET 3.5 which you can pick up for a song on Safari and I know there are whole books on WCF, so it pretty much depends on what you're looking for).

So, I'd be happy to creaete a quick demo but the reality is I wouldn't be showing Silverlight and I'm not quite sure how happy folks would be if I start teaching other .NET stuff (it is a very big flood gate to open).

I cannot find a tutorial anywhere on Creating a web service for Silverlight to access.

Plenty of samples on how to consume for SL, but not create. How about a snippet on that? Of course security is an issue so the XML would be remote.
