Silverlight 3 Multi-touch: The Basics

"One of the new features to Silverlight 3 is the ability to add multi-touch capabilities to your application.  When I posed the question on Twitter, I got some responses of ideas people would use this for.  Honestly most of them could be accomplished with mouse events today and X/Y calculations.  These would be the touch applications that are pretty singular.  But I did get some multi-touch ideas that I think I’ll try to explore.  First though, let’s look at the basics of what Silverlight provides for multi-touch application development."

Can I wrtie a WPF+Silverlight app?

"I believe the story is much better when it comes to writing a single application with both a Silverlight and a WPF face. It helps enormously that they share the same presentation philosophy, the same UI specification language (XAML), the same client-side execution model, and many of the same components." [more]

Controlling a character with mouse in SL

"Here’s a problem I had recently with a Silverlight game I’m developing. It’s a top-down 2D game, and I want the character to be controlled by the mouse, and I want it to be rotated to face the direction the mouse is moving." [more]

Adventures in MVVM – Commands in Silverlight

One of the most important aspects of implementing the MVVM pattern in WPF and SIlverlight is the ability for the UI layer to bind directly to commands in the ViewModel.  The only problem with this:  commands were never implemented in Silverlight.

This article will walk you through implementing commands in Silverlight. This technique can be used in WPF as well.
