One of the great things about the Silverlight team is that usually in the home stretch most of the feature samples of numerous ‘hello world’ type examples start shaping into creative ideas to demonstrate various features. 

Slidentity by Mike Harsh (screenshot)One such example is a full Silverlight 3 application that Mike Harsh created to actually demonstrate various features and it is what he used to present his session talk as well.  He currently calls it Slidentity and it demonstrates:

  • Various skinned control usage
  • Perspective 3D (when you view the slide show)
  • Open/Save data
  • Out-of-browser execution
  • User input
  • Navigation framework

It’s a creative “sample” that is actually very functional for the intended use.  Mike’s making the code available for use, so check it out on his blog: Slidentity by Mike Harsh.

it is very good for a first version and it truly shows what can be done already. i do have two questions:

1.How do you make sure a start menu option is added when you prompt a SL3 app install
2.Can you preset a window size and position for the app?.

i got it wrong. i do know that part. i mean that if it was possible toadd a option for the quick start in the start menu. i know that is just the cherry on top and a novelty. but still. the question about preset window position and size. that one i really don't know.

Avatar - Quickstart isn't possible right now. Preset window size is coming in RTW.

intitle: There is a bug in the beta that you can unselect both options. We'll require at least one option.

Nice, preset window size and position are features that will help for making OOP SL3 apps to have a better feel.

Quickstart is a little extra icing,no biggie.


Thanks Tim.

Marc -- yes in order to view this you'd need to have Silverlight 3. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=141205

Well that sucks. I can't play with SL3 on Mac? The tools are windows only, which makes sense (for visual studio; not in the grand schee, lol), but I don't see a runtime download for osx.

Will I have to install it on Windows then take the runtime and install on osx?

It gives me several compilation errors:

- PixelFormats does not exist in the current context (slideshow.xaml.cs)
- ExecutionStates does not exist in the current context (Page.xaml.cs)

Etc. Something is missing?

Thanks!
