August 2010 Meeting
Silverlight 4 Controls Overview - by Russ Fustino
The meeting date is Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Location: Sarasota Community Foundation, at 2635 Fruitville Rd., Sarasota, FL 34237 (just west of Tuttle on the north side of Fruitville).
We will discuss how the Silverlight 4 controls break down into core controls, SDK controls, and the SL Toolkit, and we will look at cross-cutting ideas such as the content model. There are many new controls and existing ones with new tricks. We will also show how to create a control template in Blend, use visual states with Visual State Manager, and how to create a user control. Here is a list of controls we will cover:
- Blend SDK Controls (Arc, Star, PathListBox)
- Buttons (Button, RepeatButton, CheckBox, HyperlinkButton)
- Plain Text Input (TextBox, PasswordBox)
- Formatted Text (RichTextBox, TextBlock)
- Range Controls (Slider, ScrollBar)
- Lists and Trees (ListBox, ItemsControl, TreeView)
- TabControls (TabControl and TabItem)
- ScrollViewer
- Grid Splitter
- Time and Date (Calendar and DatePicker)
- Popups and Child Windows (Popup, ToolTip, and ChildWindow)
Russ Fustino is an independent consultant and owner of Russ Toolshed Network. He's currently teaching Sliverlight 4 concepts professionally, and is currently doing an east coast Silverlight training tour.
