Dear Santa, in Silverlight 3.0 can you put..

  • Article

Ok, I've read about the 9th "I wish Microsoft would.." style blog post floating around on what folks want in 2008 for Silverlight/WPF. I think this is healthy and I'd love to see what folks would like for Silverlight 3.0 (Doubtful you'll get anything into 2.0 as that dye's most likely cast already - unless you have overwhelming evidence to make some of the engineers work through XMAS break... bah humbug!)

If Santa is watching, what would you beg/plead for?

Example posts to kick things off:

    Sorry to be picky, but don't you mean that the "die is cast" ?

    Doug: I honestly don't know :) The dye is cast, meaning: the tint has been poured, and the water cannot be clear again. The die is cast, meaning: the metal has been molded, and its shape cannot be altered. It derives from Julius Caesar - "Alea jacta est" is what he stated.. maybe its a translation thing?

    Both WPF and Silverlight are fairly good at automatically determining the locations of objects on the screen. But once the objects have been located automatically, it is fairly difficult to determine where the objects have been placed on the Screen. To achieve some effects, it is sometimes required to know where on the Screen or a canvas where an Object is located. You may have a reference to the Object, but there is no way from the Object reference to tell where on the Screen or relative to another control or Canvas where the Object is located. This can make some designs very difficult. If each Silverlight and WPF control could report their Screen coordinates then just about any location relative to other controls can be determined. It would be good if the Screen coordinates were added to the properties of each Silverlight and WPF controls. Scenario: You have a Textbox in a Grid, on a Canvas, within a Window. Now you want to place a Polygon on the Canvas positioned relative to the Textbox. Where do you place the Polygon? Thanks for your help.

    To visualise relationships between objects taken fom database as mind map. To show different kind of relations depending on values in given field. To zoom in and zoom out objects in mind map. Example - Enciclopaedia Britannica. To add, delete, update such relationships.

    System.Data and especially the DataSet, so we could bind Controls on DataSet.

    Probably a little late, but it's a simple request :o) MediaElement to support raw PCM data streams.

    Please add safe file save to Silverlight 3.0. I hvae little use for Silvelight 2 because all applications I support must all users to print and save output. Until a save option is available for Silverlight, you leave developers hanging. I biuld two WPF applications in the last year that I cannot even migrate. What, don;t believe me? Try using Silverlight yourself Microsoft.

    Either somebody was listening, or PCM support was planned all along.  No I can ditch Java applets and get on with my project in a single technology!
