SilverBites 1: Adding metadata to Xaml in design-time

code, silverbites, silverlight, tutorial, video — Szili @ 6:22 pm

This little lolcat will show you a cool feature I discovered recently.

Using its ‘Tag’ property you can add metadata to a FrameworkElement (so practically every graphical element Silverlight provides) and read it out in code as a string.

Even better, you can set Tag property in design-time with Expression Blend support!

This is a start of my new project, SilverBites. It’s a series of bite sized video tutorials on Silverlight 2 with a maximum length of 90 seconds.
I’m pretty microphone shy yet, but watch my alterego in the coming parts!
