Windows Phone From Scratch #19 – MVVM Light Toolkit Soup To Nuts #4
Continuing to try to catch up to Jesse Liberty is this post, number 19 in the Windows Phone series and the 4th in that series about MVVMLight, and discussing binding a collection in the ViewModel to a ListBox in the view.
Building a Multi-Page Silverlight LOB Application
Deborah Kurata has the first 4 parts up (in 2 days) in a 6-part tutorial series she's doing on building a Silverlight LOB app. The first post was an intro and link to the rest as they become available. This 2nd post is getting the app newed up and making sure you've got your head wrapped around multiple pages.
Theming a Silverlight Application using Existing Themes
Deborah Kurata's next part is about getting started with themes in your app using the themes provided in the toolkit specifically.
Theming a Silverlight Application using Custom Themes
Deborah Kurata's next tutorial in the series is also about themes, but this time it's about custom themes... or rather customized from a 'standard' one in this case.
Adding a New Page to a Multi-Page Silverlight Application
Deborah Kurata's last available post in the tutorial series is this one on adding a new page to the app.
Windows Phone 7 Project
Sergey Barskiy has a pair of posts up about a calendar control that he is building and has out on CodePlex... nice-looking control too!
Windows Phone 7 Controls Project Update
Sergey Barskiy's second post is an update to the calendar... the biggest update being the ability to use the Toolkit context menu.
How to Create Ad Rotator with Telerik TransitionControl and CoverFlow control for Silverlight
Miroslav Nedyalkov uses the Telerik TransitionControl and CoverFlow controls to produce a great-looking ad rotator using any ContentControl or ListBox... very nice demo on the page....
Building Touch Interfaces for Windows Phones, Part 2
Jeff Prosise has part 2 of his tutorial series on WP7 Touch Interfaces up... and he's processing touch events directly in this one.
Fixing the ListPicker / ScrollViewer Problem in Windows Phone 7
Matthias Shapiro has a couple of posts out that I've missed... this one is on an issue with ListPickers in a ScrollViewer where the listpicker gets hit rather than the scroll, and of course he has a work-around... but you'll need the source for the ListPicker to do it.
Embedding a Sound File in Windows Phone 7 app (Silverlight)
The next post by Matthias Shapiro is an explanation of embedding a sound file in a WP7 app with 2 conditions: 1) it downloads with your app, and 2) it plays no matter what.


Stay in the 'Light!
