New Silverilght Windows Phone 7 (Mango) Video Tutorial: PageOrientation

Hello All,

In this video I show you how to:

1. Create an application bar with Menu Items for Portrait, Landscape and PortraitOrLandscape Page Orientations.

2. Create an Event Handler for OnOrientationChanged

3. In the above Event Handler we set the PageOrientation for the page using a Switch statement

4. Add an image and use the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) emulator to change the page orientation and see how the different PageOrientations layout the objects in the Visual Tree

5. Add a TextBlock that is Data Bound to the Supported Page Orientation of the page

The LASLUG Raffle Chooser App has been Published in the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace

Raffle Chooser App in the WP7 Marketplace

Hello All,

If you attended our May 25, 2011 Los Angeles Silverlight Usergroup (LASLUG) meeting then you saw Kim S (LASLUG Special Event Coordinator) use the custom built Raffle ChooserWindows Phone 7 Application to choose the Winning Raffle Tickets.

Well, I figured that this could be a handy tool for our other .NET Usergroups such as LA C# Usergroup or even our friends at SoCal Code Camp ran by Woody
Pewitt (@woodyp on Twitter) as I think they all hold raffles as well. So I published it on theZune Marketplace.  It is under the Social Category and is FREE!

You can Install the Raffle Chooser app directly from here: http://tinyurl.com/4xhcltr

If  you would like the source code feel free to email me at victorg at laslug dot com.

Thanks!
Victor

The Los Angeles Silverlight Usergroup (LASLUG) is TONIGHT! May 25, 2011 7pm PST

Hello All!

Tonight is the LA Silverlight Usergroup Meeting!  You can attend this meeting in-person or, for the very first time, ONLINE via our custom UStream Page: http://tinyurl.com/3fmgfgv

In order to participate you must go to http://laslug.com to register as a member for FREE!

There will be prizes given away but you MUST have a RAFFLE Ticket!  These will be given away at the door when you attend in person but if you are planning on watching ONLINE (Yes, Online Attendees can win prizes too!) you can email LASLUGTicket@gmail.com and your ticket number will be emailed back to you.  This is WORTH doing because we have OVER $12,000 in PRIZES to give away*

And, our crack staff over here at LASLUG even made a special Windows Phone 7 Application to make choosing the winners, easy, fast and random (application screeenshot shown below).    Our online meetings are brought to you by our great sponsors Infragistics and Reg Gate Software and others such as ComponentOne, Telerik, Apress, WP7 Dev Podcast, O’Reilly, Jeff Levy Show, UXSynergy, Syncfusion, Silverlight Show, Nowcom, Pluarlsight, VIBlend, Safari Books Online, Microsoft and others.

So, if you live within a 100 mile radius of Los Angeles then we hope to see you in-person tonight and if you live outside of a 100 mile radius then we hope to see you Online athttp://tinyurl.com/3fmgfgv (remember to be eligible to win prizes online you must live outside a 100 mile radius of Los Angeles), where you can watch us through multiple camera angles, see speacial video spots and even interact with us via the chat module on the page – Provided by UStream!

Oh, also, try and be there early if you are showing up in person because we have cool SWAG BAGS filled with little goodies (key chains, Flash drives, stress balls, tee-shirts, etc.).  But we fall short of the 45 RSVP’d members and when we run out you are out of LUCK!  So come early!

See you there!  Victor Gaudioso

* Online attendees who win physical prizes such as books are responsible for all shipping costs.
