RE: Invalid XML (addendum)
Can you use an InvokeCommandAction (see the Behaviors category in Blend. That behaviour isn't in Blend 3 and I can't yet find it online or in the gallery - Greg ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
Command mystery
I've been using Reflector on the SL3 DLLs looking for assemblies that
contain ICommand, Button and ButtonBase in the hope that I will find
something to reference in the XAML and solve my broken Blend designer. I've
failed, as I can't even Find Button let alone any of the other familiar
controls.
The weird thing is that putting Command={Binding MyCommand} actually works
at runtime, but at design time it says the member Command is not recognised.
As usual, nothing makes sense and everything doesn't work.
A lot of web references indicate that SL4 will make all of this command
binding more natural, but it will be weeks before I can start migrating. I
had a look in the SL4 assemblies in Reflector and I can quickly find Button,
ButtonBase, ICommand and the rest. I can't find them in SL3.

Re: Invalid XML (Key attribute fixed)
Commanding wasn't actually implemented in Silverlight 3, so I'm guessing that's why you're experiencing the behaviour that you are. Silverlight 3 had the ICommand interface, but no controls actually supported it (they didn't have the Command/CommandParameter properties). So you'd expect Expression Blend and VS2008 to kick up a fuss. Instead, you had to use the Expression Blend Interactivity library, which enabled you to use commands using attached properties. However, you say you have it working, which is a bit confusing. I'm totally making a random guess here, maybe you have the Silverlight 4 runtime installed, so even though it's a Silverlight 3 app it works because commands were partially implemented in Silverlight 4? I don't know if that's the case, but it's a possibility.

Simply removing the x:Key from the element fixes the problem with no side effects. I wasn’t using the Key in code. However, more than an hour of web searching and experiments has failed to make Blend 3 recognise the *Command=* element and the designer remains broken. I felt sure that adding something to the Resources as a hint to Blend’s XAML parser would fix it, but no luck so far. -- Greg ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight image002.png___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
Introducing the Developer Blog Banter
I am cross posting this to the Silverlight list, as people here might have some very different responses to the standard ozDotNet mailing list. Hi all, I just announced edition #1 of the Developer Blog Banter. The Developer Blog Banter is a regular article where passionate developers in the community blog on a common topic. The purpose of the DBB is to get more conversation happening in the developer community. I would love to see more discussion and cross posting happening on our blogs. To participate, all you need to do is write a blog post related to the topic and track back to the original topic blog post. The list of participants will be updated on the topic page so that everyone will be able to read how other developers responded. I think it could be really interesting for us all to see how others approach their development. The central page with information is at http://davidburela.wordpress.com/developer-blog-banter/ And the first topic to link back to is here http://davidburela.wordpress.com/2010/07/30/developer-blog-banter-1-what-is- your-preferred-technology-stack/ I hope many of you will participate, I look forward to seeing the wide range of responses! -David Burela Senior Consultant Hazaa ___ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
Re: Who is using Silverlight?
Hi Greg • Who is using Silverlight in Australia? / Overseas? We are using it in 2 big projects. One of them is going to be used in Australia and Asia. • What for? #1 Rostering on the web for an Australian utilities company #2 Real time Auctions (we did a proof of concept phase, where we evaluated other technologies like HTML5 and AJAX) • Is there public information available about the project? #1 none and never #2 end of this year Personally I try to stick as much as possible to other web technologies as long as possible until we reach the point: Too hard (expensive), lets make this in Silverlight. .peter.gfader. http://blog.gfader.com/ http://twitter.com/peitor On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Grant Maw grant@gmail.com wrote: Greg We're using it quite a lot. We've done a few video players (using IIS Smooth Streaming) and associated apps like an online education tool which required us to inegrate powerpoint slides and video into the one applet, and another where people build fitness programs from scratch using an online exercise library. We had to fight hard to get one client to accept using SL but they are now pretty much won-over. I am particularly keen to start expanding our world into Win mobile 7 ASAP (so much to do, so few hours in the day)! Ping me off-list if interested and I'll see if I can arrange a demo for you if that'll help.

There is one area that I am missing information on, that is who is using Silverlight. Question for the group: • Who is using Silverlight in Australia? / Overseas? • What for? • Is there public information available about the project? My interest is more focused on real business applications rather than just cute show off the user interface technology.
