DevDays Netherlands 2009: 10 Silverlight Tips and tricks

My first-ever session in the Netherlands :) A big room, about 70% fill, that means a lot of interest for Silverlight.

It seems that the demo that sparked the most conversation after the session was the “Hit testing with Silverlight” one. Several people afterwards asked me about this particularly unknown feature in Silverlight that allows you to check whether a point (pixel) and an element are “colliding”.

Here are the topics/tips I covered in this session:

•Creating a custom install experience
•ASP.NET Membership Integration
•Double clickety-click
•Debugging services
•Duplex services
•Silverlight and SEO
•Virtual Earth in Silverlight
•Drag’n’drop and hit testing
•Model-View-ViewModel
•Async unit tests

I do hope you liked this session. Comments and feedback, positive or negative is welcome!

Below you can find the demos and slides.
