  Hey, thnx for all your valuable informations. Learning a lot from you..

  Btw, please consider changing the design of your blog. Its really hard to follow and read with black background, small fonts and some other stuff.

  Thnx. Keep up the good work.

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: Send async messages across UserControls or even applications

Hello All!

In this 11 minute video I show you how to use the LocalMessageSender and LocalMessageReceiver to send asynchronous message across two UserControls but it will also work with two Silverlight applications on the same HTML or even in two separate browsers (heck even with a OOB app and a browser app)!  You can even send XML and use it to send complex object types.

So, buckle up and learn how to use the LocalMessageSender/Receiver to make your Silverlight applications and/or UserControls to communicate!

Enjoy! Victor Gaudioso

New Silverlight Video Tutorial: Learn how to use Blend to create a Data Store, Add Properties to it, Use the GotoStateAction Condition panel and the SetDataStoreValueAction Behavior to Determine if a Visual State Can Fire

Hello All!

In this 12 minute video I show you how to create a Visual State Group with Visual States, then I show how to add a Condition to the GotoStateAction Behavior by making a Data Store and adding a Boolean Property. I then show how to use the SetDataStoreValueAction to change the value of the new property.  The value of this property determines if the Visual State can fire.

Topics covered:

1. The Visual State Group and Visual States;
2. The GotoStateAction Behavior to fire a Visual State;
3. Creating a Condition for the GotoState Action;
4. Creating a Data Store and adding a Boolean property;
5. DataBinding the value of the new Boolean property to a TextBlock;
6. Changing the value of the new Boolean property using the SetDataStoreValue Action Behavior.

Its a lot to cover in 12 minutes but its pretty simple once you see it done, and I do it all without leaving Blend!
