New Video Tutorial: How to Create Custom RoutedEvents in Silverlight

My Good Friend Andrew Whiddett, CTO of IdentityMine wrote a great solution to be able to make Custom RoutedEvents available in Silverlight (currently custom RoutedEvents are only available in WPF).  RoutedEvents as you may or may not know, are the backbone of what makes the Model View View Model development pattern work.  Now, because of Andrew’s genius you can use it in Silverlight too!

Here is a link to the video showing you exactly how to use it: http://tw0.us/4oC

The URL to the dll: http://tw0.us/4cS

The URL to my project: http://tw0.us/4cT

Have fun and Enjoy!  And a Special thanks to my good friend and former mentor, Andrew Whiddett.

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to create a Slider with a ToolTip that shows the Value of the Slider

Hello All!

Recently I was asked to make a ToolTip that now only followed the Thumb of the Slider but also showed the value of what the slider was (see image above).  I thought about this and I came up with a pretty quick solution.  There may be other ways to do it but watch the short 1o minute video to see how I did it.

See it in action: http://tinyurl.com/39mbakt

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Build Your Very Own TutorialCam

 

Hello All!

IMPORTANT: Watching the video I see I said “I am going to Undo that…”  To Undo in Blend hit Control+Z

I have been asked repeatedly for the source code for the camera application I use to show myself when filming Silverlight video tutorials.  Well, I decided to make a tutorial on how to build your very own TutorialCam (shown above).  I takes about 27 minutes but is much easier than you would think.  There are a lot of little things that you need to do but it is fun and when you are done you will be ready to make your very own Silverlight video tutorials just like me and possibly get MSFT MVP along the way.

Enjoy!

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Fire a Visual State based upon the value of a Boolean Variable

Hello All!

In this short 7.44 minute video I show you how you can, with one line of C# code fire one of two Visual States based upon the value of a Boolean variable, one if it is true or another one if it is false.  This is much easier than evaluating the variable yourself and then firing each VisualState manually.  Enjoy!

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Create Fast Forward for the MediaElement

Hello All!

As you probably already know there is no “built-in” way to accomplish Fast Forward with the Silverlight MediaElement.  So, in this 24 minute video I show you how to:

1. Create a new Silverlight application;
2. Add a MediaElement, a Fast Forward Button and a TextBlock for the video’s position information;
3. Create a PlayState Enum and a DispatcherTimer
4. Then on click of the button I show you how to a. Make the video Fast Forward at 1x speed and b. click it again for 2x speed.

If you are doing video this is a must for any self-respecting video player!

Enjoy!

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Create a Silverlight Paging System to Load new Pages

Toaday I got a comment from a blog reader named Fracisco…I think he wanted to know how to load new pages into a Silverlight website.  Just for him, and because I think many of you have the same problem, I made a video tutorial where I show you how to:

1. Create a Content Holder UserControl;

2. Make two pages called HomePage and AboutUs

3. In App.xaml load ContentHolder instead of MainPage.xaml (the default action of a SL app)

4. Create a SwitchContent method that takes a UserControl as its argument; this method will load the requested page into the ContentHolder control

5. Make a Nav UserControl that has Buttons that load the associated page into the ContentHolder UserControl

6. Add the Nav control to each page

7. Create EventHandlers in the Nav.xaml.cs to load the associated content into the ContentHolder User

8. VIOLA! You will then have a Silverlight paging system that loads any page, on Demand into your MainPage.xaml!

Enjoy!

Working Example: http://windowspresentationfoundation.com/Tutorials/PagingSystem/Site/ (from the source code below)

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Save an Image in Your Silverlight Applications

Hello All,

I get asked this question probably more than most and that is, how can I save an image to my hard drive from my Silverlight applications.  Well the answer is, I use Joe Stegman’s PngEncoder.cs to do the job.  It works so well and you can implement it in about 5 minutes.  Don’t believe me?  Watch this 7 minute video where I show you how to create a new Silverlight application, add an image to it, add two class files and one method and then save an image right from my Silverlight application.

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: How to Create Gradients

Hello All!

In doing a lot of speaking engagements I get asked lots of Silverlight questions.  From these questions I have noticed a pattern emerging whereby many people have a terrible time working with gradients.  Of course the real trick, as is with anything, is practice but before one can start to practice they have to understand the tools of the trade.  So, in this short, 10 minute video I show you how to duplicate a somewhat complex gradient while along the way explaining the tools required to do the job; namely, the Gradient tool, the color palette and the Gradient Eyedropper tools. 

With this video and a little practice you too will be able to duplicate the most complex of gradients all on your own!

So, roll up your sleeves, fire up Expression Blend and Get To It!

How to Create a Silverlight Color Resource in a ResourceDictionary

Some have complained that page 33 of my book, Foundation Blend 3 with Silverlight tells how to make a Color Resource in a Resource Dictionary.  However, because of reasons that are not completely clear to me what I show is not possible to do in Blend for a Silverlight application.  For that reason I have written a short tutorial on how to do just that.  You can read it below with no images or download the Word version here: http://tinyurl.com/y9zcp5k

NOTE: The Word version has the images. 

Create the Rectangle

1. From the toolbar select the Rectangle tool and draw a Rectangle on the Artboard  like I have done in Figure 1.

 Figure 1. Draw a Rectangle

2. On the  Properties panel select Gradient Brush for the Fill property like I am about to do in Figure 2.  

 Figure 2. Give the Rectangle a Gradient Fill.

Creating the Color Resource

 1. Leave the default Black to White Gradient and click advanced icon next to the Fill property (it looks like a little white square (see Figure 3).

 Figure  3. Click the advanced icon next to the Fill property.

2. In the Advanced menu click Convert to New Resource.

 3. When the Create Color Resource dialog box appears give the Resource a Name of BlackToWhiteGradient (don’t hit OK yet) like I am doing in Figure  4.

Figure  4. Name the new resource BlackToWhiteGradient.

4. Now click the New ResourceDictionary button like am doing in Figure 5.

 Figure  5. Click the New button.

5. When the New Item dialog appears make sure that Resource Dictionary is selected .  Leave the default name and click OK like I am doing in Figure  6.

 Figure 6. The New Item dialog box.

7. Once you click OK you will again see the Create Color Resource dialog box but now the Resource Dictionary option is enabled and Checked.  You can now Click OK to create the new ResourceDictionary and add the BlackToWhite color resource to it like I am doing in Figure 7.

Figure 7. You now can click OK to create a new ResourceDictionary with the BlackToWhiteGradient in it.

 Using the new BlackToWhite Color Resource

Now that you have made a new Color Resource in a new ResourceDictionary it is time to show you how to make use of it.  Let’s do that now.

  1. Select the Rectangle on the toolbar
  2. Draw a new Rectangle out on the Artboard.
  3. Your new Rectangle might have a default black and white gradient because it was the last color we used.  So to change it select the Fill property for the new Rectangle and click Solid color brush like I am doing in Figure 8.

Figure 8. Change the new Rectangle’s Fill to a Solid Color Brush.

4. Now to change the Fill to the Resource click the Advanced icon next to the Fill Property

5. Click Local Resource > BlackToWhiteGradient like I am doing in Figure  9.

 Figure  9. Used the Advanced icon to change the fill to use the BlackToWhiteGradient color resource from the ResourceDictionary that we created earlier.

Summary

In this short exercise we created a Rectangle with a black/white gradient Fill.  We then turned that Fill into a Color Resource inside of a ResourceDictionary that we created.  We then created a new Rectangle and reset the Fill to a Solid Color Brush. Finally we set the Fill of the new Rectangle to the BlackToWhiteGradient we created earlier.

The Los Angeles Silverlight Usergroup December Meeting was Awesome

Hello All,

We had a great LASLUG meeting on the 18th of December.  Tim Mustain, CTO of SpeakTECH showed us a Silverlight solution for digital Daileys (dailies are a film print, video tape, or now digital format of the footage shot during the day of production) that they built for one of the major movie studios.  Not only did Tim show us how it worked from a user’s perspective but he was kind enough to delve into the actual code!  I am pretty sure that everyone there, including myself learned a thing or two if not much more than that.  I myself probably learned about 5 new things about Silverlight that I hadn’t known prior to Tim’s talk.  That is a pretty tall order for someone who has written books on the subject.

I then proceeded to show off some cool new features of Silverlight 4.  On stage I created the following Silverlight apps:

1) I created a Webcam application using the new Webcam API.  Source Code: http://tinyurl.com/ybdo2s3

2. I created an Out Of the Browser (OOB) application with Elevated Trust using the COM Interop API that started up an instance of MSFT Word and created a new Document that contained the text that we typed into the TextBox in the Silverlight application. Source Code: http://tinyurl.com/yd9gu2b

3. I then created an app using the new DROP API that allowed you to drop and image from your hard drive onto the app that the app would then display. Source Code: http://tinyurl.com/y9l36td

Unfortunately I forgot to record Tim’s presentation and I am kicking myself for that.  But I did remember to record my presentation (I swear it was a mistake!)

You can see my presentation here: http://tinyurl.com/ydmcxek

You can download the source code for the projects I created during my presentation from the URLs above next to the description of the apps.

Thanks to everyone for coming and to Jason Campbell of MSFT for providing the space, the gourmet pizza and getting Tim from SpeakTECH to present!

New Silverlight 4 Video Tutorial: How to use the COM API to Open Word in an Out of the Browser SL4 App

Hello All!

Finally my first Silverlight 4 video tutorial is here. I took a great video tutorial from Jesse Liberty on how to use this API to open Excel and create a new Workbook.  So, I thought it would be cool to show you how to use the COM API to open MSFT Word and create a new Document and add your own text to it.  So, that is what I did.  Please enjoy and leave me a comment to let me know what you thought of it!

My Silverlight 4 Presentation at LA C# Usergroup in Manhatten Beach, CA (12.01.09)

Hello All!

The LA C# Usergroup in Manhattan Beach was kind enough to invite me to present on Silverlight 4 last night and it went very well.  The members were very into everything .NET and very interested to hear what Silverlight had to offer.  As always I talked about Silverlight and then proceeded to code some cool samples for them right on stage. 

I made three applications while presenting: a SL4 Drop application, a simple physics enabled Asteroids game, and a Webcam application.  I also recorded the entire two hour session.  So, below you can download the source code for the demos I made, view the running demos and even watch the presentation.

Enjoy and thank you very much LA C# Usergroup, I had a BLAST!
