This answer is easy to find once you realize it was the addition of a CaretBrush in a TextBox that started the blinking…but if you’ve just added in a bunch of Styles and Resources with dozens of additional properties, well, it could take a while.  Hopefully this post will help someone find the answer a little quicker.

Applying any StaticResource brush to the CaretBrush property of a regular TextBox in Silverlight 3 will apparently cause everything else using that StaticResource to blink with the caret blink.  Odd, very odd indeed!  The fix is easy, of course…just don’t re-use your caret ...

Never fails that you deploy your new Silverlight application to a new web server and come up with a blank screen. You have to remember to update IIS for Silverlight. In IIS first select the web server in the Connections panel on the left. Then open the MIME Types under the IIS section in the main panel.

Then check for the .xap extension in the list of MIME Types. If you don’t have it, you need to add it. Click on “Add…” in the Actions panel and fill in the info as follows.

Now restart IIS and you can serve ...

Got so excited at MIX 2010 in Las Vegas to see all the new cool toys for Windows Mobile 7, Silverlight 4, MVC 2, RIA, Blend 4, and so much more.  When they released the SDKs on Monday morning, I could not wait to get to the computer to start downloading and playing with the Phone Emulator and get some Silverlighting going on the phone.

Well, I had no idea that I will be faced with the longest 2 nights of my life :)  I had the VS 2010 RTM installed on the machine and all the new bits at ...

Have you tried to upgrade to GotoMeeting 4.5 from 4.0 or 4.1 and the upgrade was successful but no matter what you do the version number is still showing 4.0 or 4.1 ? even after shutting down GotoMeeting completely. Not even that, UNINSTALLING GotoMeeting from the machine and installing 4.5 still shows the same symptoms.  Very weird.

Well, if you have Outlook running, you probably have the Gotomeeting plugin installed already and Outlook won’t let go of its plugins.  Shutdown Outlook and do the install again.  You will be much happier that way :)

It was brought to my attention today that given the following setup:

  public  class BaseClass
    {
         public  override  string ToString()
        {
             return  "BaseClass";
        }
    }

     public  class SubClass : BaseClass
    {
         public  override  string ToString()
        {
             return  "SubClass";
        }

         public  string SubClassProp { get; set; }
    }
