Re: The verboseness of Visibility

[Jonathan Parker]

That would make sense. Hidden I assume means that all the events such as
button clicks, hover, etc. are still fired whereas with collapsed this isn't
possible.

Re: The verboseness of Visibility

[Jonathan Parker]

Ah, these things always appear simple until you think about them a bit more.

A wild guess but maybe this design is in anticipation that there will be
another value.

Visible
Collapsed
*Invisible*

Collapsed and invisible aren't the same (e.g. An invisible cardboard box and
a collapsed one are different. The invisible one still takes up the same
space as the visible one while the collapsed one doesn't take up any space).

This illustrates my point.








btn2 takes up no space as it is collapsed while btn3 is invisible but still
takes up space.

So at the moment Invisible can be achieved by setting the Opacity to 0 but
in the future they may add another value to the enum for this.

My 2c.

Doesn't work in Chrome 4.
Navigation is broken.
They should have customised the loading animation.

Re: Data visualisation spare time project – Reques t for feedback

[Jonathan Parker]

Great stuff!

A suggestion. Maybe for the country that is selected you could make the
circle filled or animated (like a give it a shiny gloss) so that it stands
out.
I played the timeline while selecting a country but the information box
isn't well linked to the circle visually even though it is surrounded by an
extra yellow circle it didn't stand out that well maybe because there are
other yellow circles too.

Also I had the mouse over the timeline so the X-axis label was hidden. It
took me a while to find it!
When it stops playing at the end you could change the play button to a
replay button.

It might be good to make the "international region section" button always
visible if the panel is open so it's easy to close.

Might be nice to be able to select two or more countries and have a line
drawn between them to see the difference (maybe even an option to hide other
countries).

I haven't read the help but the concept of clicking on an area of the screen
is great. Contextual help is rare these days be invaluable.

Re: SilverZine - Silverlight designer resource

[Jonathan Parker]

First off this is an awesome site that really is a good example of how to
integrate SL into a site IMO.
Having said that, lets make it better...

1. Will you be providing all the content? If so Wow! If not will it be an
aggregation or will people be able to sign up and post tutorials?
2. The side bar is should be further to the right and or thinner. It's
squashing the content. Remember that that's what the site is all about.
3. Make the "Hi there and welcome" on the home page a bigger font size. I
didn't read it on the first go as it was the same as all the other content
such as the side bar. This is the elevator pitch so it needs to stand out
for first timers.
4. Make the menu link for current page different so you know what page
you're on. You need to add a different background color for the selectedli
css class.

Good luck.
Jonathan.

Re: Toolbox Treeview control

Just a guess but maybe you have to set the SelectedValuePath property.

Re: Blend 3

In that case it might be bundled with VS2010. It would be good to have the

 I don't know though if I you can have Blend 3 running side by side with
 Blend 2... from the early versions that I tried of Blend 3 no... but who
 knows maybe things have changed a bit since.

Re: missing wcf service calls

[Jonathan Parker]

It really depends on your service configuration.

I'm not sure exactly what the issue is but it's 99% likely a
configuration issue.

Check out the docs on concurrency and sessions here:

Re: missing wcf service calls

The only thing I can think of is that subsequent calls are canceling
the previous calls.
Have you tried putting print statements before/after each service call
in the client?

Re: Silverlight reach on Mobile devices

Well my opinion is that the thing holding back SL is deep browser
integration. It would be nice to get the browser right click menu for
links. I know you can do html overlay or whatever but it's just too
much work IMO. I don't have any specifics on mobile support ATM.

Re: Silverlight reach on Mobile devices

[Jonathan Parker]

Sorry. I accidentally hit the send button.

I heard in a video (can't remember where) that the mobile team are
keen to sync up with the desktop team with their releases of SL so
maybe 3.0 will have both, though I'm not sure about the
usefulness of HD video on a phone!

Re: Animations and threads

[Jonathan Parker]

SL wcf proxies are asyc only due to not wanting to lock the UI which
means that my first guess would be that the animation is using a
background thread as well (under the hood) which is the same thread as
the wcf (under the hood) thread for detecting a response.

It doesn't make sense that the wcf call would block the UI as that's
the whole reason for having async calls.

Is the animation stopping or just stuttering? It may be a thread
polling for a response from the service which is blocking the
animation.

Re: Selft Join

[Jonathan Parker]

Have you tried the Include method?

http://weblogs.asp.net/zeeshanhirani/archive/2008/07/03/eager-loading-self-referencing-table-in-linq-to-sql.aspx

I haven't played with this much on L2S, but in the EF there is a similar
limitation in that it can't just perform an arbitrarily deep recursive query
for you or even let you specify a number of levels deep that you'd like it
to go.

That said, this is a bit easier in EF than the kind of code you wrote above
for L2S.  With the EF you can just specify however many levels you would
like in your Include string.

So, if you had an example like yours above with a Category entity which has
a Categories set containing nested categories, and if you wanted to go up to
5 levels deep, then you could just do something like this:

foreach (var category in
ctx.Categories.Include("Categories.Categories.Categories.Categories"))

{

// do something

}

This would load the top level categories as well as up to 4 more levels
underneath them.  Of course you do have to keep in mind that this would
produce a single, potentially very large query to return all the results.
 So I would recommend perf testing it to decide if you want this approach or
if you want to manually write multiple smaller queries...

Re: Layout controls

[Jonathan Parker]

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't add the wrap panel into the core. Maybe
it'll go in in the next release.

Re: SL in Offline World

[Jonathan Parker]

I *think* Shane is talking about Moonlight which is a joint project between
Novell and MS:
>From Scottgu's blog (
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/09/04/silverlight-1-0-released-and-silverlight-for-linux-announced.aspx
 ):

*Silverlight for Linux Support*

Over the last few months we've been working to enable Silverlight support
on Linux, and today we are announcing a formal partnership with Novell to
provide a great Silverlight implementation for Linux.  Microsoft will be
delivering Silverlight Media Codecs for Linux, and Novell will be building a
100% compatible Silverlight runtime implementation called "Moonlight".

Moonlight will run on all Linux distributions, and support FireFox,
Konqueror, and Opera browsers.  Moonlight will support both the JavaScript
programming model available in Silverlight 1.0, as well as the full .NET
programming model we will enable in Silverlight 1.1.  Below is a screen-shot
of the Silverlight 1.1 Flight-Picker
application I
built in my keynote at MIX running on Linux using Moonlight:

Re: SL in Offline World

[Jonathan Parker]

Yep, the fact that MS was going on about Richness vs Reach at PDC, where
desktop is rich and web is reach and Siverlight is a balance between them,
shows that if you want both then Silverlight is your only option from MS at
the moment and probably for a while.
Having said that, given MS is supporting Silverlight on MAC they may support
Live Mesh at some point which would allow you to host Silverlight apps on a
MAC desktop within some kind of sand box.

This post claims that Live Mesh will support MAC.

Re: SL in Offline World

[Jonathan Parker]

Google Gears is an option. It uses SQLite I believe. I just tried a SL app
in Chrome with no internet connection and it ran the app from the cache
fine.
