    This is the 8 video by Ken Cox about the development of CRUD application using Silverlight and Visual Basic.NET.

    In Episode 8, we continue working with the AutoCompleteBox control that we implemented in Episode 7. This time, we fetch a long list of country names as XML from a third-party Web service, cache the file on the client using isolated storage, and harness LINQ to XML to retrieve the country names. One of the considerations is checking Silverlight's access to the remote data.

One of the considerations is checking Silverlight's access to the remote data. Finally, you learn how to use (and re-use) a static resource within XAML markup.
    I'm currently collecting topics for a ninth episode. My intention is to make it a bug fix screencast based on feedback, so send in those reports! It will likely also cover usability issues like implementing tabs and tooltips.
    Make sure you've worked through Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, Episode 5, Episode 6 and Episode 7 first.

    The full source code is available for download from here.

    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.

    This is the sixth of 8 videos by Ken Cox about the development of CRUD application using Silverlight and Visual Basic.NET.

    In this episode, you build a XAML form that acts like a popup, modal window. The form validates user input with WCF callbacks to ensure that the customer ID is unique. By the end of the episode, you're able to add a customer to the NorthWind database using Silverlight, VB, ADO.NET Data Services and the Entity Framework. Here's a reminder: this series is sequential.

If you haven't worked through the first five episodes, you'll find this one tough sledding because of the prerequisites.

    This is the fifth of 8 videos by Ken Cox about the development of CRUD application using Silverlight and Visual Basic.NET.

    Episode 5: "D" is for Delete probes data associations, properties and links in the Entity Framework. It takes you step by step through the code to delete a customer, the customer's orders, and the order details. I hope you find it worthwhile.
     
    Make sure you've worked through Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4 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.

    Check the fourth of 8 videos by Ken Cox about the development of CRUD application using Silverlight and Visual Basic.NET.

    Episode 4, 'U is for Update' takes you through validating user input, handling button clicks, saving data changes back to the database, and canceling changes. The screencast shows how to use the PropertyChanged event with more examples of wedging your own code into generated partial classes..


    Note: The previous episodes are prerequisites: Episode 1, Episode 2Episode 3

    Make sure you've worked through Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4 first. Without them, you won't have the prerequisite code or project infrastructure to succeed in this episode.
