Code Repository
I am often putting together little proofs-of-concept for blog posts, demos, etc. I am sharing them here. They are in no particular order, and perhaps once it gets cluttered, I'll organize it by technology or something.
Creating A Navigation in Silverlight
Original Post - This post shows how to create the navigation you see at the top of this page. Includes EVERY step you need to take to get it done.
Calling Silverlight From Javascript
Original Post - In this post, I want to show you how incredibly simple it is to call a Javascript function from the managed code of your Silverlight application. We'll also be able to retrieve a value from that function, and return it to Silverlight. If you're just hunting for the syntax, just jump to step #6. This post covers creating everything from scratch, in both VB and C#.
Asirra Captcha
Original Post - So I was wandering around the Microsoft Research site, and happened upon something I had not heard of before: Asirra. It's a new model for a CAPTCHA test, and it seems to be pretty simple to implement.
Using Javascript To Talk To A Web Service
Original Post - Sometimes you just need to use Javascript. It's one of those things that web developers claim to hate, but secretly, I just hated the lack of tools support for it. That seems to be solved, at least for me.
This code shows you how to call your asynchronous web service from Javascript, and how we can incorporate JS Intellisense to make our job infinitely easier (one line of code, anyone?).
Creating a WCF Service for Silverlight 2 and SQL
Original Post - This article shows how to create a simple WCF service, and consume it from a Silverlight application. This is something you are going to need to do quite often, and if for no other reason, I am documenting this here so that I have it as a reference.
Levenshtein Distance
Original Post - Recently while trying to complete my goal of reading the entire Interwebs, I stumbled upon something I thought the rest of you might be intrigued by: The Levenshtein Distance.
