Silverlight 2 End to End Tutorial: Building a Digg Search Client
Posted by Ramani Sandeep on August 13, 2009
To help people come up to speed with Silverlight 2, I’ve written a simple Silverlight application and put together a series of step by step tutorials that explain the different programming concepts behind it (controls, layout management, networking, data-binding, styles, user controls, templates, etc). I also added a tutorial post that demonstrates how to migrate the application outside of the browser and enable it to run as a desktop application using WPF and the full .NET Framework.
Below are the pointers to the 8 tutorials I’ve put together:
- Part 1: Creating "Hello World" with Silverlight 2 and VS 2008
- Part 2: Using Layout Management
- Part 3: Using Networking to Retrieve Data and Populate a DataGrid
- Part 4: Using Style Elements to Better Encapsulate Look and Feel
- Part 5: Using the ListBox and DataBinding to Display List Data
- Part 6: Using User Controls to Implement Master/Details Scenarios
- Part 7: Using Templates to Customize Control Look and Feel
- Part 8: Creating a Digg Desktop Version of our Application using WPF
