This is really more for me so I can remember where I put things: WPF Pixel Shader Effect Library is up on Code Plex. I’m not sure where I would use them in a business app, but there they are. The October release of the WPF Toolkit is out and now contains the V1 of…
I fought with this for a while today, so I thought I would toss it up as a solution. I was trying to create a transition between two screens for a project I’m working on. I created the two ContentControls in my XAML like so: <ContentControl x:Name=”OldContent”> <!– My Old Content –> </ContentControl> <ContentControl…
I’m totally slammed until PDC, but I need to make a mental note for the cool stuff that has come up over the last couple weeks. Josh Smith and Crack.Net – Josh Smith has a release of a free developer tool for .Net applications. Wildly popular around the office. Opacity Masks in Silverlight – Imran…
I’m in the middle of trying to update my life to Silverlight RC0. Starting in a week or so, I’ll be trying to update my samples to RC0 and I’ll be creating new Silverlight samples in RC0. I’m putting the color picker control on hold until after PDC so that everyone is on the same…
David Anson has put up a pretty cool application for looking at the default templates for Silverlight 2 controls. It works with Silverlight 2 RC0, which was released just this last week. This is pretty freaking awesome stuff for anyone doing design in Silverlight. Go check it out. A note: I would comment more about…

Just for fun, I took my color picker and plugged into Robby Ingebretsen’s Silverlight Particle Generator. I had to make some tweaks to the XAML to alter the look to just what I wanted it to be, but you can check out the result here. By the way, if you’d like a rock solid version…
UPDATED (12/05/08): Updated Color Picker Utility UPDATED (09/29/08): I added an event to my user control. You can now use the ColorChanged event to figure out when the color has changed and subsequently apply that color. This invalidates my problem with the slider click events. All downloads are updated appropriately. Download Color Picker Control Only…
UPDATE (12/05/08): Updated Color Picker Utility UPDATE: I’ve posted links to all my code here. I apologize, but I don’t have the time right now to go over how I made this, but I did want to take the time to show it off. (Sample removed because of incompatibility with current version, please visit the updated…
Download code for this sample (updated for RCW) I was reading Mike Snow’s blog and he had a recent Silverlight tutorial on creating a Zooming toolbar. I looked at it and said to myself, “I think I can do that without code in Blend!” So here’s a tutorial on exactly that. End product : Big…
