Well it has finally arrived, Silverlight 2 RTM was officially release on Tuesday October 14. ScottGu and Method ~ of ~ failed have great posts on this release. The bits can be downloaded from silverlight.net.
I have been focusing my attentions on Silverlight and have written a considerable number of Silverlight demos. I finally sat down and thought about how I could package all these demos into a single site so that I could share my experiences with other Silverlight developers, hence, the CynotWhyNot Silverlight Demo Gallery.
The site contains two Silverlight controls; the first is used to list all the demos and the second used to host the actual demo. I wanted this site to be easily configurable and decide to use an XML file the drive the site. Basically, the XML lists the available XAPs. The first Silverlight control deserializes this XML into an in memory object. The short description is used to populate the list box. When a menu item is selected a call to a javascript function is made which in turn sets the source attribute of the second Silverlight control.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the details of the gallery application as I will deal with that in a future post. For now just check it here.
Currently I have seven demos installed. Each demo comes with a link where the entire source can be downloaded. Even the code for the gallery application can be downloaded.
I will be updated this gallery with new demos so be sure to visit again.
Guess the movie
Why don't you stick around, Junior?
