Today is the day of posting about handy code generators! Here’s one more to add to the list: ChartBuilder
This site will generate the code needed to create a Silverlight Chart element [which can be found in the System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization [Charting] library].
Purdy!

It’s actually very easy to do!
In the html [...]
[Silverlight 2] Isolated Storage Location… Vista? XP? Gah!
What started out small ended up as an epic journey…
As I posted before, I have been using isolated storage to log results from my unit test runs and then have been parsing those files with a python script.
What’s that… something doesn’t work when I try it on Vista???

[C#] What the heck is “() =>” and what kind of magic does it do?
