Deep diving into Silverlight UI framework Justin-Josef Angel - SLV354 Deep diving into Silverlight UI framework through Silverlight controls In first glance Silverlight seems to have a pretty extensive learning curve. And what do we as developers do when confronted with "framework magic"? We stick to the basics and tend to roll our own mini-framework. In this talk we'll uncover and unmystify all sorts of Silverlight/WPF framework magic and we'll try to get a better understanding of those. Some of these hardcore Silverlight concepts include: * The VisualStateManager - How does a button animate it's visuals when clicked/hovered? * DataTemplates - How does ListBox know the template of it's item? * ItemsControls - How does ComboBox generate ComboBoxItems from CLR Instances? * Re-Templating - How does Expression Blend allow us to transform a ListBox to a solar system? Justin Angel is a Microsoft Silverlight Program Manager.He was so deeply involved with shipping the Silverlight Toolkit that he was the one to press the mythical "Ship it!" button.
