Silverlight 4 vs Flex 4: Accessing the Clipboard - Alex van Beek
In this post I’m comparing Flex 4 and Silverlight 4’s clipboard access abilities. Accessing the clipboard should be an interesting comparison, since both Flash 10 and Silverlight 4 take different approaches. I deliberately said "Flash 10" in the previous sentence, because accessing the clipboard in a Flex application is done by using the native Flash 10 ActionScript api and there isn’t any specific Flex code required.

.Net 4.0: Configuring MEF with Linq to Xml - Alex van Beek
A much heard criticism of MEF is that the exports are configured with attributes, so if the exports need to be changed, recompilation of the application is required. In this post I'll show how to extend MEF using Linq to XML in such a way, that the exports can be configured in an external configuration file and the application no longer needs to be recompiled when the exports change.

Silverlight 3: Securing your WCF service with a custom username / password authentication mechanism - Alex van Beek - blog community
There seems to be a lot of confusion on the web about how to secure the backend WCF service of your Silverlight application, with a username and a password. In Silverlight 2, things were a bit tricky. The generated proxies of Visual Studio didn’t have a ClientCredentials property. So to send any custom username / password information to your service, you had to manipulate some headers. Another option was to let the browser do the authentication for you, in combination with asp.net and forms authenticatio... (more)
