Silverlight 4 PDC Keynote examples

Last month I spoke at the PDC conference and talked about Silverlight 4. You can watch a video from that conference (my part of the speech starts at 53:30).

I showed some fun examples that are implemented thanks to innovations in Silverlight 4. Today we publish examples with code so that you can download and run them on your machines.

Photobooth

The PhotoBooth app demonstrates some things you can do with new webcam and microphone support. This allows you to record videos and take photos directly in the browser, and then apply effects to them:

BarCode scanner

BarCode scanner also uses a webcam. Allows you to scan ISBN barcodes from a book and view the details of a book using Amazon web service:

Improved Notebook

This application demonstrates some of the innovations for working with text in Silverlight 4. It allows you to edit the text in the browser, supports Bidi text, including Arabic and Hebrew, supports left-handed and right-handed orientation of elements (note the scroll bar), supports program copy / paste in system buffer, own context menus, print, drag / drop files from desktop applications to the browser for editing:

HTML placement

This application uses a new control - a web browser, when working outside the browser. It allows you to place HTML like a brush that can be applied to any control. For fun, you can go to the MSDN.com bookmark and go to YouTube. And after that, you can still use HTML as a brush and cut it, despite the fact that the video continues to play (using Flash in HTML):
