This is the seventh of 8 videos by Ken Cox about the development of CRUD application using Silverlight and Visual Basic.NET.
Episode 7 of my series on creating a Silverlight 2 data form concentrates on adding visual appeal.
You implement rounded borders, gradient effects, and import professional styles from the Silverlight Control Toolkit. You also learn how to use the AutoCompleteBox control to prompt users for data input.
Make sure you've worked through Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, Episode 5 and Episode 6 first.
Sometimes the video might not be available because of some internal problems of the Silverlight streaming services. Please excuse us for the inconvience, we hope that this problem will be fixed very soon.
