I was recently asked to build up a Silverlight tool to show a file full
of addresses on a map. I decided to use the Silverlight bing maps
control and I must say I was not disappointed with it's functionality.
It ended up being extremely simple. The tools used to create this were
VS2010, Silverlight 4, Bing maps Silverlight control, and the Bing maps
web services.

I was working with a client that wanted to have a default button clicked when an enter key is pressed in a textbox (password box to be more specific) within a Silverlight or WPF application. I didn't think much of it. I'll just listen to the event, bind to the button, and click the button on the enter key event. The listening and binding portion is not very tough with an attached property and a little Silverlight 3 element to element binding love. The tricky part came in when I wanted to cause the button click event to be raised. I ended up having to take a page from Josh Smith http://joshsmithonwpf.wordpress.com/2007/03/09/how-to-programmatically-click-a-button/. Thank you, Josh! This may not be the best way to do this, but it works for me.

Hello all! First off, I want to say this post does not reflect the way I think authentication should be handled. I don't necessarily agree with the route Facebook has decided to go with Connect, but that is a debate I don't really wish to be a part of right now. I would like to concentrate on the superlatives about Facebook Connect and the possibilities this opens up to developers. If you wish to discuss the positives and negatives of the Facebook Connect strategy, please be my guest to comment till your angelic heart is content.
In this post, I'm going to set up an Azure cloud service project with a single web role that hosts a Silverlight 2 page, which utilizes Facebook Connect. I will not go into other portions of the Facebook API during this post, but I will extend it in a later post. Basically this is 1/10 an excersize in creating a cloud service, 1/2 using Facebook connect, and about 2/5 interactions between JavaScript and Silverlight. Ok, let's get started.
