What this book will teach you

Following is a list of exactly what this book will teach you so that you know what you will be able

to accomplish in Silverlight and Blend once you have completed the book. You will

Understand the typical Silverlight/Blend/Visual Studio workflow for creating Silverlight

applications

Understand the Blend 3 IDE—what tools are available and how to use them properly

Understand XAML and C# basics, as well as some advanced C# constructs such as a

?HNEjop]j_a of a @]p]B]_pknu and a very popular user interface design pattern called

Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)

Know the basic Silverlight content element controls

Understand the very powerful Silverlight Ia`e]Ahaiajp and how to use it to create video

and audio for your applications

Learn how to create reusable styles and control templates

Learn how to raise events and event handlers

Learn how to quickly and easily create sample data in Blend 3

Learn how to create an interactive, design-free prototype of a web application called a

sketchflow

Learn about reusable Silverlight visual brushes and how to use them

Understand the difference between timelines and storyboards, and learn how to use

timelines to create compelling storyboard animations

Put all of the new knowledge you learned together to create a Silverlight web application

with a powerful paging system that allows for fast download time and saves on system

memory, and that you will be able to reuse as a template as you continue to develop in

Silverlight

What Silverlight/Blend 3, C#, and XAML are

Silverlight has a large number of framework elements and controls, including >qppkj, Cne`, and

Ia`e]Ahaiajp. These are all written in XAML, an XML-based markup language. XAML also allows

you to create storyboard animations. These user interface controls can be controlled partially in

XAML by storyboards, but for the most part they are controlled with C#. This type of structure

is very similar to HTML and JavaScript, as HTML displays the content, while JavaScript adds func-

tionality to the interactive parts of the HTML, such as mouseover effects. Conversely, controls

can be created in C#, but are most often created in XAML. XAML can also display assets such as

images, audio, and video. C# is a very robust object-oriented programming language developed

by Microsoft, and is part of the .NET 3.5 (and soon 4.0) Framework. I like to think of XAML as

the pretty exterior of a cool car, and C# as the powerful engine under the hood. So the typical

way that Silverlight creates and displays content goes like this:

1. XAML describes how the controls, images, video, and other assets are shown.

2. C# gives these assets their functionality.

3. The compiler then puts the XAML user interface and functionality together into an exe-

cutable (EXE) file for a Silverlight desktop or web application.

4. The browser or desktop then displays the application.

The real power of Silverlight is the robustness of C# and the capability of using XAML to create

the interface.

Using Visual Studio and Blend

C# is usually created and edited in Visual Studio 2008 (or soon Visual Studio 2010), and XAML

can be edited in both Blend and Visual Studio 2008. Since Blend 3, though, you have the ability

to create and edit C# in Blend as well as Visual Studio 2008. However, you may still want to edit

or create your C# code in Visual Studio, because Visual Studio has tools to assist in writing code,

such as IntelliSense (discussed later in the book).

Blend, on the other hand, is a new instrument that allows you to create and display Silverlight

assets such as controls and images in code or visually. The

Selection, Brush Transform, and vari-

ous shape tools are just a few of the features that Blend offers the developer. I will go into these

and other tools in Chapter 3, and you will master these development tools in later chapters.

What Silverlight is and how it differs from WPF

Silverlight, formerly known as Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere (WPF/E), is a cross-

platform version of WPF. Basically, it is a subset of WPF that can run on a Mac or PC. WPF can

only run on Windows Vista or Windows XP with .NET 3.0 or later installed (Windows XP ships

with .NET 2.0). There are other differences, but most important is that WPF can make use of

3D objects, while Silverlight can do some faking of 3D, but not true 3D. This is because WPF

can make use of the host machine’s graphics card, while Silverlight cannot, as it is difficult to

port 3D hardware acceleration across different platforms. The final difference is that Silverlight

integrates right into an HTML page by using the Silverlight browser plug-in, while WPF needs to

be inserted into an iframe to mix with HTML content. Silverlight is still being developed, so the

differences I have just explained may not exist in future Silverlight releases.

Online resources

Throughout this book, I will point you to online Silverlight examples I have created, as well as

code snippets and video tutorials. In the Appendix, I will also point you to additional resources

that can help you grow as a Silverlight/Blend developer. These resources include weblogs, online

tutorials, code examples, and much more.
