Silverlight: Implementing User Controls in 1.1

skeezicks — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 20:59:46 GMT

In Part 2 of Creating User Controls in Silverlight, we take our learnings from Part 1 and apply them to implementing the same user control (Glass Button) in a Silverlight 1.1 application. We use the similar model of InitializeFromXaml but as well, learn how we can implement the user control in XAML directly using familiar user control syntax similar to ASP.NET controls.

Silverlight: Implementing User Controls in 1.0

skeezicks — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 05:40:23 GMT

Learn how to write your own User Control using Silverlight 1.0 and the Javascript prototype programming model. This screencast walks through the steps for implementing your custom XAML User Control in a project. This is a part 1 of 2 series. Part 2 will demonstrate using the same model to implement the User Control in Silverlight 1.1.

Preparing for Silverlight Release Candidate

skeezicks — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:38:25 GMT

A quick screencast showing some simple steps in preparing your Silverlight 1.0 applications for the release candiate. We walk through 2 samples on silverlight.net and prep them for RC.

This is a very simple screencast demonstrating some of the more required steps. Every preparation for your sample may vary depending on the amount of code, but this is intended to show you some quick steps.

Silverlight: Creating Video with Timed Overlays

skeezicks — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 00:51:56 GMT

Building off the concept that Expression Media Encoder and Expression Blend 2 Preview together, demonstrating encoding a file with media markers and then using Silverlight to monitor when those markers are triggered, then perform some animation.

This technique can be useful when re-using media elements across advertising for example, but displaying different messaging, promotional offers, links, languages, or whatever.

“WPF/E” Video Boot Camp - Programming “WPF/E” – Laurence Moroney

Ernie Booth — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 00:36:09 GMT

Lastly we will look at how we can add functionality to our “WPF/E” application. The “WPF/E” object model is explored and we learn how to interact with the video programmatically. We also learn about how to add our “WPF/E” application to a webpage and position it as desired.

“WPF/E” Video Boot Camp - Microsoft Expression and Visual Studio 2005 – Ernie Booth

Ernie Booth — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 00:34:00 GMT

Next we jump into Expression Design, Expression Blend and Visual Studio. These tools remove the need to write XAML by hand and show how assets are easy exported from one tool and imported to the next tool.

“WPF/E” Video Boot Camp - XAML Basics - Ernie Booth

Ernie Booth — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 00:30:44 GMT

Welcome to the “WPF/E” (Codename) video boot camp. These videos will teach how to create an interactive media player in about an hour. The training is broken into three segments: XAML Basics; “WPF/E” with Microsoft Expression; and Programming “WPF/E”.
Together they provide a condensed environment that will allow you to quickly learn programming in “WPF/E”

We begin by learning about XAML (extensible Application Markup Language) which is used to create basic shapes, layout, and animation. All the demos are done using XAML Pad, a part of the Windows Platform SDK. You aren’t required to use XAMLPad for “WPF/E” development, but as you will seeit makes XAML development much faster.

Scott Guthrie - MIX07, Work, and Personal Details Revealed

Rory — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 23:14:30 GMT

This was the first time I had ever met Scott Guthrie in person.

Like many devs working with MS dev tools, I was quite familiar with the guy - just about everything he says is useful. I used to code by his posts, articles, and interviews.

Meeting him was weird.

For one thing, he's way taller than I am, which doesn't help with my short-man's complex.

For another, I learned that he does much more work than I ever would have thought. I already knew that he was a busy guy, but I didn't know he basically ran Microsoft (that's my opinion - Scott, who is somehow able to be highly intelligent, successful, and humble, might tell you otherwise).

In this interview, we covered a lot of ground. Watch and learn about:

- MIX07

- What's doing on the web technologies front

- What's so special about IIS 7.0

- Why you should care about Orcas

- What it's like to go into meetings with executives like Gates, Ballmer, and Ozzie

- How, even with as much status and power Scott has, he still doesn't have his own parking spot (this made me feel a little better about myself and my lack of accomplishments)

And more, of course.

The first 3/4 of the video are tech, with the last 1/4 being mostly candid conversation. I wanted to get the personal side of Scott because, although many of us have (literally) profited from his technical work, the guy is still a bit of a mystery. I wanted to know what goes on inside the head of someone who has done so much.

Hopefully, he'll come back on and share a few more stories.

It was a very fun interview to conduct. Enjoy, people :)

Expression - Part Two: Design

Rory — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 22:11:28 GMT

In Part Two of the Expression series of videos, we take a look at Expression Design.

Design is a tool which allows artists to create images that can be exported as XAML, allowing them to be used in WPF-based applications.

It also represents a big leap in mindset in terms of the way applications are designed at Microsoft. It doesn't "look" like a Microsoft developer product. Rather, it was designed so that artists would feel at home when using it. By default, the interface is slate - much like Vista's default color scheme - and it looks like it could blend into the background for an artist working in the dark.

Another interesting aspect of Design is that it was built with WPF, yet WPF is what it outputs. A result is that, as the tool for designing WPF images was being built, issues with WPF itself were found. The tool, then, not only outputs WPF, but also helped to shape what WPF became.

But I'll stop describing - there's plenty of footage of the app in the video :)

Watch away, people...

Expression - Part One: The Overview

Rory — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 20:20:03 GMT

In this video, the first of several on Expression, I get an overview of Expression from Eric Zocher and Doug Olson.

Because there are several different applications which belong to the Expression family, it seemed like a good idea to get this high level look at the suite.

We talk a bit about each of the products, as well as the backgrounds of Eric and Doug and how they made the migration from another prominent software company to Microsoft.

This is a pretty big deal, really. The Expression tools represent a very new way of looking at application development. It's completely different from the developer-centric world of Visual Studio that we're all used to. Now, designers are going to take a more prominent role in the development process.

And you should be excited :)

Yeah, yeah - it might feel like some of your power is being taken away, but the reality is that you're going to be freed from drudge work so that you can focus on what's really important - what your application does.

The days of having to write a bajillion lines of code to change the way a button looks, for example, are coming to an end. With Expression, you'll be able to just draw what you want.

Pretty neat.

Getting Started with "WPF/E"

AdamKinney — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:34:20 GMT

In this screencast, Laurence Moroney, “WPF/E” evangelist talks about the development technology stack for “WPF/E” and how the Expression and Visual Studio suites of tools can work together to create a simple application. This is a great primer in “WPF/E” – everything you wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask…

"WPF/E" CTP Demos

AdamKinney — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:31:28 GMT

In this screencast, Laurence Moroney, “WPF/E” evangelist steps through some very rich and compelling demos of what is possible with “WPF/E”. First is a really cool page turning visualization that can be used as a photo viewer. Then a couple of cross-platform video players are demonstrated in IE and FireFox (and they also work on a MAC!), before wrapping up with a neat accelerated animation photo viewer and a casual game. If you’re interested in what you can do with this technology – here’s the place to start!

Celso Gomes : Designing in "WPF/E"

AdamKinney — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:25:49 GMT

Ernie Booth and Laurence Moroney visited Celso Gomes, the ‘God’ of “WPF/E” demos who demonstrated how he was able to write some very cool stuff in “WPF/E” including the page turning sample and some 2.5 D graphics. These graphics were so convincing in their depth that they fooled the autofocus on our camera!

Joe Stegman talks about the "WPF/E" CTP

AdamKinney — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:17:38 GMT

This is it! The 1000^th video posted to Channel 9 and what more fitting than a video covering “WPF/E”, a new way to video on the web.

Ernie Booth and Laurence Moroney visited Joe Stegman, lead PM for “WPF/E” and discussed issues such as the MAC on his desk, “WPF/E”, the fountain outside his window, and of course “WPF/E”. We also experimented with a new product placement technology in this movie. See if you can spot it….

Windows Presentation Foundation - Everywhere?

Charles — Mon, 15 May 2006 21:38:05 GMT

Recently, Scoble caught up with Mike Harsh, a program manager on the WPF/E team (where WPF = Windows Presentation Foundation and E stands for "Everywhere"). Let's dig into to what "Everywhere" means for WPF/E, shall we? And how much of WPF will be exposed everywhere? Does this mean you can run WPF apps in a web browser running on the Mac? What about Linux?
