We have to be careful with HtmlPage.IsEnabled. That was the way to do it in Silverlight 2, however this will break Out of Browser. Not a big issue if you don't care about OOB, but just something to keep in mind. Try DesignerProperties.IsInDesignTool. This should work for both VS and Blend.

Hi John, Unfortunately it's hard to maintain 2 separate solutions with a bunch of similar projects linking files. Everytime you add a file you have to switch and create a link. You might use Project Linker (from PP), although I never got it to work. Another solution is to simply have a NANT

Opening an OOB App

2010-10-04 Thread Miguel Madero
Everyone, I remember a few months ago at an SDDN meeting we were talking about options to start an OOB App like looking at the shortcuts in the start menu or trying to guess based on the random paths that the app might get installed on. I found a nice option. Essentially we use the 'origin' as

This is what worked for me (copied from a different thread). Ok, this was the fix: Just set the configuration of the build definition and set the MSBuild Patform parameter to X86 (it was Auto before). I think it forces the execution of the x86 version of MSBuild.exe (not

Hi David, Just curious about what was wrong of just putting this validation on your DomainService class instead of in the entity if you needed access to the DB. Also, just another idea, if you really want code run only server side and you have it on a .shared file you can use #if !SILVERLIGHT to

Hi Greg, As an alternative to 'Add Service Reference' and even 'slsvcutil/svcutil' you could use AutoServiceProxy, just by sharing DataContracts and ServiceContracts you don't really need the proxy. Have a look at the project in bitbucket. https://bitbucket.org/mamadero/sltoolsdemo Miguel A.

Re: Is it time to open source Silverlight?

2013-11-22 Thread Miguel Madero
I think we need the chicken before the egg. Meaning, who will maintain it, is there a group that is willing to take over? An unmaintained OS project is just as bad as an unmaintained closed one. I think it's doable, but IMO, to make it stronger a request to Open Source it should be be accompanied
