Samples

I was working with one of the web application localization. I was searching with couple of translator's available with the web. The most popular of them are

1. Google Translation Service

2. Bing Translator Service

I tried using the Google API for the web and it was pretty good. Then in recent times I came across Bing translator and tools link in them gave me the way to implement the Bing API. Bing is making a revolution in the search engines and so I liked to use that here.

Following URL's are referred for this.

1. Introduction

Currently Silverlight supports two ways of duplex communication: sockets and WCF polling duplex services. I was really impressed by the simplicity of using WCF polling duplex in Silverlight 3, but its responsiveness and scalability leaves much to be desired. On the opposite site we have sockets, which are rather tricky to use, but their responsiveness and scalability satisfy real world application requirements.

In this article I’m going to introduce my SocketsLight framework, which should simplify the working with sockets by providing high level API over .NET sockets library.

These series of posts will help you when creating rich data forms with Silverlight 3 in your projects. Silverlight 3 introduces a new control, called DataForm. It enables various methods for display, edit, update and navigation through data. I my previous two articles I gave you a clear view of this new cool control. I showed you how easily you can bind an object or a collection of objects to a DataForm control and the whole bunch of stuff you can do with every data source.

Authentication and authorization plays a key role in the web world. Going distributed makes information sharing healthier. But only if it's allowed for the know contact it will be healthy. We can very well see this in the existing web world. We have the memberships and roles for ASP.Net web applications. In addition we also have forms authentication and NTLM authentication.

Going smart client is always best. But considering security it has to be more secure since smart clients attract all the people they can be easily prey to security vulnerabilities.

Silverligth 3 is the most awaited release of Microsoft. I found the download’s from the page Silverlight 3. The following are the utlities that can be found in this download page.

1. Silverlight 3 Beta Tools for Visual Studio
2. Microsoft Expression Blend 3 Preview
3. Silverlight Toolkit
4. .NET RIA Services
5. Silverlight 3 Beta Documentation

In this list the most attracting one is the RIA services which is making wonders with Silverlight now. I will be discussing about them in the later posts.

Introduction

Silverlight 2 has introduced many interesting features and controls but it misses something that Silverlight 3 makes possible –easily creating and manipulating rich data forms. These series of posts will help you when creating rich data forms in Silverlight 3 in your projects. Silverlight 3 introduces a new control, called DataForm. It enables various methods for display, edit, update and navigation through data.

The DataForm control is like the DataGrid control in Silverlight 2. But while the DataGrid control is used to manipulate a list of items, the DataForm control focuses on the item itself.

Introduction

Silverlight 3 beta is out and it introduces a great variety of new functionality. Tim Heuer has already published a guide to the new features in Silverlight 3.

Element effects in Silverlight 2 are missing. This means that if you want to make your elements more attractive, you have to write your own effects. Silverlight.FX introduced a great number of effects and animations, which you can use. Nikhil Kothari has written a number of posts to show you the capabilities of this small but powerful framework.

Introduction

Animation Easing are built in animation functions in Silverlight 3. They include several commonly used animations effects.

Overview

I'll describe in details how you can use the BackEase animation. Imagine that you want to move an Ellipse from the top to the bottom of a Canvas. You just create a Storyboard with DoubleAnimation as follows:

Code behind:

OK, but what if you want to make the ellipse move up for a while and after that move down.
