Introduction

Silverlight is a rapidly evolving technology. Over a time span of 3 years, it has evolved from being a JavaScript-

based platform to a full .NET implementation. With 4 versions released and version 5 in the pipeline at the time

of writing, Silverlight has more versions than .NET! That makes it hard for book writers such as me to keep upwith new features being added.

It seems to me that its also difficult to create and manage exams about Silverlight. For the previous versions of

Silverlight, there werent any exams available. Silverlight 4 is the first version of which an exam is being created. It

was possible to take the beta-exam late 2010; the exam will be officially open in Q1 2011. More information

about the exam can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-506&Locale=en-us

With this guide, I aim to make the preparation for the exam a bit easier.

Goal and approach to getting ready

At this point, theres no official courseware available to study for the exam. In any case, you should therefore be

familiar already with Silverlight development. Reading some books on Silverlight will help as well. The list below

contains some links to books available for Silverlight 4:

Silverlight 4 Unleashed Silverlight 4 In Action Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Services Cookbook Pro Business Application with Silverlight 4

On top of that, reading articles and blog posts will help you in passing the exam. In this ebook, I try to create an

extensive list of resources along with some explanation on the topic at hand that contain the information you

need to know. To structure this, well follow the list of topics described by Microsoft on the exam outline page

(http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/Exam.aspx?ID=70-506&Locale=en-us#tab2):

Laying Out a User Interface (15%) Enhancing the User Interface (14%) Implementing Application Logic (16%) Working with Data (17%) Interacting with a Host Platform (11%) Structuring Applications (13%) Deploying Applications (13%)

(Small note: the outlined percentages total 99%, so youll probably get 1% for entering your name!)

This ebook is based on SilverlightShow 7-part article seriesGetting ready for Microsoft Silverlight Exam 70-506.

While the online article series give references to external resources, here we have done our best to include those

resources as full text, so you may enjoy the ebook while travelling, at places with no connection, on your desktop,

etc. For each topic the author Gill Cleeren has picked the resource that best covers the material needed.

Approximately 85% of the resources selected are available in full, the rest of the resources are still included as

links due to lack of copy permissions or inability to reach the the respective authors.

We hope you will enjoy this ebook, and wish you good luck with taking the exam!

Chapter 1: Laying Out a User Interface

Arrange content with panels

Layout is a very important aspect in Silverlight. Since Silverlight is an RIA, applications we build with it are

intended to run on different screen resolutions. A well-built application should look fine on all these resolutions

as well. Luckily, Silverlight has inherited layout panels from WPF, including the Canvas, the Grid and the

StackPanel. Via theSilverlight Toolkit, other panels including the DockPanel and the WrapPanel were added. Its

my opinion that the Grid is the most used panel for (business) applications, as it can help lining out content, while

a Canvas will be more used for example when creating a game with moving parts or a hand -drawn custom

control such as a gauge control. The Canvas support z-indexing as well, allowing sending its children up or down

in the stack.

Layout in general

Layout controls help building the user interface of Silverlight applications. The class hierarchy for the most

important layout controls is as follows:

System.Object

--System.Windows.DependencyObject

----System.Windows.UIElement

------System.Windows.FrameworkElement

-------- System.Windows.Controls.Viewbox

--------System.Windows.Controls.Border

--------System.Windows.Controls.Panel----------System.Windows.Controls.Grid

----------System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel

----------System.Windows.Controls.Canvas

--------System.Windows.Controls.Control

----------System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl

------------System.Windows.Controls.ScrollViewer

This topic is covered in the following resource:

Layout controls in Silverlight

Introduction

Layout controls are Silverlight controls which act as containers of other controls. Their main purpose is the

positioning and arranging of their child controls. There are several layout controls: Canvas, StackPanel and Grid

and TabPanel.

Overview

All layout controls derive from the basic abstract class Panel.

There are also four more descendants of the Panel Class: DataGridCellsPresenter,

DataGridColumnHeadersPresenter, DataGridDetailsPresenter, DataGridRowsPresenter. Their purpose is

the positioning of elements in a DataGridtemplate. They are not standalone controls.

Layout controls inherit the Children collection of type UIElementCollection. Since all elements in this

collection are UIElement objects and the Panel itself derives from UIElement layout controls can benested in one another without limitation.

The following example demonstrates the nesting:

Note: to understand this example you should be familiar with all layout controls:Canvas,StackPaneland

Grid

We want to have the following meaningless result (I dont like giving real world examples, I just want to

show you how nesting oflayout controls works.):

Here is the XAML code:

We have a Grid, two StackPanels in the Grid and several Canvases in every StackPanel and several

controls in every Canvas. You can put another Grid in the existing for example, or in a StackPanelor

Canvas. It depends on the result you want to achieve.

You saw that we put a Backgroundproperty of the two StackPanels. You can set it in the XAML as an

attribute using one of the Colors enumeration but you also can use a Brush object for it. The following

examples demonstrate its use with several different brushes:

Using the ImageBrush for a GridBackground:

XAML:

Its just amazing how you can use brushes in the XAML without writing a single line in the code behind.

Conclusion

This article covers the key features of the Panelclass which are inherited in all layout controls. It targets

the developer who has just started with the Silverlightcontrols. Any comments are welcome.
