Seperti yang tertera di judul, Silverlight 4 Tools untuk Visual Studio 2010 RC akhirnya telah di release. Mungkin sejak awal banyak dari kita yang bertanya-tanya mengapa ketika Visual Studio 2010 RC di release, Microsoft tidak langsung menyertakan Silverlight 4 Tools-nya sehingga bagi para developer yang ingin mendevelop aplikasi berbasis Silverlight 4 tidak bisa menggunakan Visual Studio 2010 yang versi RC melainkan masih harus menggunakan versi Beta 2. Saya pun termasuk salah seorang yang agak kecewa namun semua penantian itu telah berakhir karena sekarang Microsoft telah meluncurkan Silverlight 4 Tools untuk Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC yang dapat di download di sini.
Enjoy....
I have found this really interesting article in the internet and I want to share it with everyone in geeks portal. Enjoy...
2. Start the installation
VS 2010 Beta 2. and see a message stating that we do not have VS 2010 Beta 2.
3. Do not click the button "Close".
At this time we go to drive C: \ (new guid) (eg, C: \ bfb0032a835647b79718f26ba81d3392) and look for files there SPInstaller.exe.
Folder can be on any drive, not only on drive C. Judging from my observations, usually the last folder on disk (including external).
Found a file, copy the entire folder to another location, say, C: \ Sl4ToolsRC
4. Open the file ParameterInfo.xml
in the folder C: \ SL4ToolsRC \ and commenting on the lines 13 to 41 inclusive. Comment on the <! - And -> (remember that it is XML). Save.
<SPAN onmouseover=_tipon(this) onmouseout=_tipoff()><SPAN style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; DIRECTION: ltr" class=google-src-text> |
</SPAN> </ BlockIf> -></SPAN> |
Even the edited file can be taken here: http://sorokoletov.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ParameterInfo.xml
5. Run SPInstaller.exe
from the same folder and set 4 Silverlight Tools.
6. Run Regedit
Open the following keys
a. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 10.0 \ DesignerPlatforms \ Silverlight]
b. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 10.0_Config \ DesignerPlatforms \ Silverlight]
Update 2: In 64-bit system the right way - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 10.0 \ DesignerPlatforms \ Silverlight.
and change the value "SilverlightHost" to "v4.0"
7. We work with Silverlight 4!
PS: Ria Services PS: Ria Services
If you need RiaServices, it left me a little more magic.
Download the patched Microsoft.RiaServices.Tools.dll and copy it to c: \ Program Files \ Microsoft SDKs \ RIA Services \ v1.0 \ Libraries \ Server \.
Next, remove from the GAC "original" versions and to install the patched version. ([Win+R] -> assembly ->[Enter]) ([Win + R] -> assembly -> [Enter])
Restarting the studio, and everything should work fine. Enjoy...

Web analytics are very important to every online service, providing a way for companies to track their visitors' behavior and adjust the services to more user-specific needs. The recently released Microsoft Silverlight Analytics Framework integrates tracking tools for online, offline and out-of-browser Silverlight-powered applications. Outed to the world at MIX 2010 (see the official presentation video at the end of this article), the analytics framework addresses some issues introduced with Silverlight 3.
While with the first and second version of Silverlight, web analytics were possible through the usage of complicated JavaScript hacks, when Silverlight 3 hit, its offline and out-of-the-browser capabilities practically made those analytics cheats useless and powerless against more advanced Silverlight RIAs.
The Microsoft Silverlight Analytics Framework, released under the Microsoft Public License on CodePlex, addresses these difficulties providing support for out-of-browser scenarios, offline scenarios, A/B Testing, logging of video experiences with the Microsoft Silverlight Media Framework, multiple analytics services simultaneously without impacting performance and support for app designers in Microsoft Expression Blend for adding tracking capabilities without any coding knowledge.
Not an expert in analytics, the software giant reached out to some well established analytics providers that responded according to Microsoft evangelist and project leader Michael Scherotter with “[Excitement] about the prospect of integrating analytics with Silverlight.”

About 15-20 vendors were contacted, several making it in: ATInternetAnalytics (owned by AT Internet), ComscoreWebAnalytics (comScore, Inc.), GoogleAnalytics (Google), RuntimeIntelligenceAnalytics (PreEmptive Solutions), SitestatMeter (Nedstat), QuantcastAnalytics (Quantcast), GlanceGuideAnalytics (GlanceGuide), Telerik RadControls (Telerik) and ServiceOrientedAnalytics.
For now, the framework supports Silverlight 3, any support for Silverlight 4 being in the works. These include handlers for webcam and microphone access, printing, the Pivot Collection and elevated trust. The Redmond-based company isn't closing the door on other analytics providers, still accepting vendors for future releases.
As for real-time usage, the framework passed its fire test during the 2012 Vancouver Olympics covered by NBC. Michael Scherotter reported that the NBC video streaming platform was adapted to use tracking services from six analytics vendors. Present at MIX 2010, Alfonso Corretti, representative for Nedstat, also showed a case study and future implementation of the framework on RTL's video platform (Dutch television).

Microsoft’s User Experience ecosystem is a universe complex enough for an overall perspective or deep insights to not easily come in handy. The Redmond company has worked to streamline efforts from what it calls technical and creative leads interested in taking a closer look at the relation between its UX collateral and the Microsoft “stack.” In this regard, the software giant announced the availability of the Microsoft User Experience Kit at SXSW.
google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);
“The UX Kit is unique because while many technology-specific repositories exist, this is the first kit that helps ‘map’ the Microsoft ecosystem, technology, and tools stack to that of the user experience, agency, and creative world,” a member of the Silverlight team revealed.
The promise that comes with the kit is that the resource is capable of simplifying the understanding of the tools, technologies, and scenarios available to third-parties that leverage Microsoft’s User Experience ecosystem. Companies interested in a variety of scenarios from rich media delivery to content publishing, but also publisher advertising and additional media publishing, digital marketing, and campaign experience will be able to get insights from Microsoft via the dedicated UXKit website.
Microsoft even gave examples of three topics that could be explored in depth, such as “Building Immersive Multi-channel Solutions using Expression Studio” and “High fidelity and high Performing Desktop Touch Applications using Windows 7,” but also “Web Branding and Audience Targeting using SharePoint.” The Microsoft User Experience Kit Is Live offers companies videos, presentations, sample code, and additional resources to help them take advantage of the UX that comes with the company’s technology stack.
“Included in the UX Kit is a range of collateral and resources including: videos, reference implementations, sample code, live demos, installable tools, presentations, whitepapers and more. Featured technologies include Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows 7 Touch, Microsoft Surface, Windows Phone, SharePoint, Expression Studio, and Microsoft Advertising. Topics covered on the kit range from Rich Media Delivery using Silverlight and Deep Zoom to Multi-Channel Digital Marketing using Windows 7, SharePoint, Windows Phone, and Surface,” the Silverlight team representative added.

As Microsoft’s alternative to Adobe Flash evolves, so does the development tools designed to assist developers in creating content for Silverlight. At MIX10, concomitantly with the unveiling of Silverlight 4 Release Candidate, the Redmond company also announced the availability of the first Beta for Expression Blend 4. At MIX10, the software giant emphasized the fact that Expression Blend 4 was designed to enable developers to build applications for the next version of Silverlight, which is scheduled to be released to web in April 2010.
In addition to being tailored to Silverlight 4, Expression Blend 4 also plays nice with Silverlight 3, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) 3.5 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and WPF 4. Developers can turn to Expression Blend 4 to build both websites and applications for Silverlight 3 and 4, and desktop apps for WPF 3.5 SP1 and WPF 4.
“Blend 4 now supports Silverlight 4 and WPF 4, and of course it works great together with VS 2010. As many customers still need to deliver SL3 (and of course, Windows Phone) or WPF 3.5 projects, Blend can now handle multi-targeting – which is the ability to target a project at either the current or the previous generation of the platforms,” Christian Schormann, responsible for product planning and definition of Expression Blend and Design, and for long-term product strategy of the Expression suite as a whole, revealed.
But, at the same time, Blend 4 expands beyond Silverlight and WPF, the tool allowing developers to create applications for Windows Phone 7 Series, according to Microsoft. But this is not the only evolution of Blend 4. SketchFlow, for example, was taken to the next stage, with the addition of new behavior.
Another change involves the extra flexibility introduced for the creation of layouts. Blend 4 is capable of translating drawings made by devs into custom layout panels, without requiring them to write a single line of code. “With the new PathListBox control, this is exactly what you do: You simply draw one or more curves or shapes, and Blend will layout elements or data along the geometry you created. A radial list box? Instead of writing a radial layout manager, just draw a circle. A spiral? Just draw it,” Schormann stated.
At the same time, Blend 4 brings to the table smooth layout morphing between layouts. This is done through a feature called Fluid Layout, which makes possible smooth transitions between layouts. In addition, the promise from Microsoft is that Blend 4 streamlines the process of building business applications, by simplifying the workflow between developers and designers, and that it introduces new transitions.
“In Blend 4, we’re adding transition effects that are applied during a state transition, just like transitions in a video editor,” Schormann explained. “Blend comes with a set of new shader effects specifically for transitions and you can also roll your own.”

Developers leveraging Microsoft’s development platform and tools have already been able to take advantage of the integration with jQuery JavaScript. If memory serves me correctly, at the end of 2008, Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President, .NET Developer Platform, announced that Microsoft would be shipping jQuery as an integral part of Visual Studio moving forward. Two years later, both Visual Studio 2010 and ASP.NET MVC 2 included jQuery JavaScript Library 1.4.1. Of course, now, the promise from the software giant is that it will work to do even more, essentially to actively support jQuery JavaScript Library development.
google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);
“Guthrie announced Microsoft is taking a more active role participating in the open-source, community-driven development of the jQuery JavaScript Library,” stated Peter Galli, the Open Source Community Manager for Microsoft's Platform Strategy Group. “Microsoft will now work in concert with the jQuery JavaScript Library team to accelerate the creation of new features that make creating rich-web applications on any platform faster and easier.”
According to Galli, the work that Microsoft plans to do is designed to make sure that developers will be able to simplify the building of rich, JavaScript based client-side Internet applications. As a lightweight open source JavaScript library, jQuery has become a sweetheart with devs in a relative short amount of time.
“Gforward, the company also plans to assist in the development of both standards-based and ASP.NET based jQuery Plugins aimed to simplify interoperability between the two platforms, and Microsoft will now help make the jQuery JavaScript Library a primary development option on Windows,” Galli added.
Microsoft’s alignment with the evolution of jQuery fits perfectly into the patterns of the open source model. In this regard, devs will be able to not only provide their input, but also modify the materials added to the jQuery JavaScript Library by the Redmond-based company.

Setelah sekian lama tidak memposting sesuatu, sekarang saya akan menjelaskan cara membuat peta dengan menggunakan Microsoft Bing Maps SDK.
Langkah pertama agar Anda bisa menggunakan Bing Maps adalah, Anda harus mendownload SDKnya terlebih dahulu dari sini. Setelah itu, Anda harus meminta Bing Maps key dari sini. Bing Maps key ini diperlukan apabila Anda ingin membuat sebuah aplikasi yang menggunakan Bing Maps karena jika tidak, gambar petanya tidak akan bisa muncul. Fyi, Bing Maps SDK ada dua macam yaitu untuk Ajax dan Silverlight. SDK yang saya gunakan disini adalah SDK yang untuk Silverlight. Setelah didownload, install SDK tersebut and you're ready to code...
Buat project baru pada Visual Studio Anda dan pilih Silverlight lalu pilih Silverlight Application.
Selanjutnya akan mucul window seperti gambar dibawah, dan klik tombol OK.
Selanjutnya, tambahkan reference ke dalam project Anda dengan mengklik kanan pada project SilverlightApplication1, lalu pilih Add Reference...
Setelah itu, pada jendela yang muncul, klik tab Browse dan buka tempat Anda menginstall Bing Maps SDK tadi (default: C:\Program Files\Bing Maps Silverlight Control\V1\Libraries). Import kedua reference tersebut ke project Anda.
Setelah itu, tambahkan baris berikut ke dalam namespace yang ada di file MainPage.xaml:
xmlns
:m="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl"
Langkah terakhir adalah, tambahkan baris berikut ke dalam grid:
<
m:Map x:Name="myMaps" CredentialsProvider="{Your Credentials}"/>
Jadi, kode dalam MainPage.xaml Anda akan menjadi seperti berikut:
Ganti bagian "{Your Credentials}" dengan key yang telah Anda dapatkan, dan project Bing Maps pertama Anda telah siap digunakan! Enjoy it....
