[Original address] Silverlight tips, tricks, tutorials and links page

I will use this page to link toArticleAnd post (including my and others), please come back frequently to view new content, because I started.

Getting started
    • Silverlight 2 Overview: I suggest you read this post first, if you are planning to start Silverlight 2 development. This article not only gives a high-level description of the functions provided by Silverlight 2, but also links to a series of eight posts. This tutorial demonstrates how to build a Digg client routine. These tutorials provide a good introduction to the concepts of Silverlight 2 and WPF development.

    • Use expression blend to develop a Silverlight 2 Application -- Overview: We recommend that you download expression blend 2.5 preview in August, following the steps described in this tutorial. I think it demonstrates some common functions of expression blend and uses it to build an IM chat client routine.

    • Unit Testing with Silverlight 2: Jeff Wilcox from the Silverlight development team has an excellent post on how to use the unit test framework in the Silverlight SDK to unit test the Silverlight 2 application.

Introductory lecture
    • Building rich Internet applications with Silverlight (Part 1 and 2): Joe Stegman and Mike harsh gave a two-part lecture on how to use Silverlight to build applications. You can use the link above to watch the video of their lectures and download related handouts and demonstration routines.

DataGrid scenario
    • Using the Silverlight DataGrid and defining columns for a Silverlight DataGrid: Scott Morrison started a series of excellent posts describing how to use the new Silverlight 2 DataGrid Control (he is the supervisor of the relevant project, absolutely proficient !)

    • Using Silverlight 2's DataGrid with WCF + LINQ to SQL: This 15-minute video blog demonstrates how to build a LINQ to SQL object model on the server, and then publish it using WCF, then demonstrate how to build a Silverlight client that uses the new Silverlight DataGrid Control. The client calls the WCF Service to obtain the data in the LINQ to SQL and binds it to the DataGrid.

    • Simple editing of Web Service data in a DataGrid: Mike taulty has a good post to demonstrate how to build a WCF Service on the server, and then use it from the Silverlight 2 client to obtain data and bind it to the DataGrid, you can update data rows, add or delete data rows, and then use Silverlight 2 beta1 to save the data to the server.

    • Sorting with Silverlight 2's DataGrid Control: the DataGrid Control in Silverlight 2 beta1 has no built-in column data sorting support (which will be provided in beta2), but this does not prevent Matt berseth!
