Setting Dimensions to Auto Programmatically (C#)
I spent ages looking for an Auto object!
RectMouseOver.Width = double.NaN;
I guess this is logical as a dimension is either a number or Auto. So setting it to NaN switches it to the default of Auto.

Introduction to Silverlight
I had to give some Silverlight training recently so made a little tutorial. Might come in handy if you need a quick into to Silverlight but it’s not very in depth.
Here’s the PDF
And the Expression Design graphic that goes with it.
Silverlight 2 Style Resources are a Big Headache
Silverlight 2 forces you to store your styles in the app.xaml for each project. This confuses Blend when you have a multiple project solution and means you have to duplicate styles across the projects.
Thankfully Silverlight 3 solves this by allowing style to be saved in a separate file.
I’ll soon be working on a big Silverlight 3 project and will get the chance to see if it’s a good system. However it will still leave some problems.
For example button styles that use a content presenter will not be able to access properties of the items within. For example making the text change colour or bold on mouse over.
We’ll see how it goes!
