- To fix problem with default Silverlight BusinessApplication template generated projects and Windows authentication, override the AuthenticationService GetAuthenticatedUser method in the web project, like this (add "using System.Web.Configuration;"):
// Have to override GetAuthenticatedUser when using Windows authentication.
// Even when Windows auth is defined, the auth subsystem insists on looking for an
// AspNetProvider SQL database. Code below gets the user information from the
// principal in the Windows Auth case.
protected override User GetAuthenticatedUser(System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal principal)
{
User user = new User();
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
SystemWebSectionGroup grp = (SystemWebSectionGroup)config.GetSectionGroup("system.web");
AuthenticationSection auth = grp.Authentication;
if (auth.Mode == AuthenticationMode.Forms)
{
user = base.GetAuthenticatedUser(principal);
}
else if (auth.Mode == AuthenticationMode.Windows)
{
string[] a = principal.Identity.Name.Split('\\');
//System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry ADEntry = new System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + a[0] + "/" + a[1]);
//string Name = ADEntry.Properties["FullName"].Value.ToString();
user.Name = a[a.Length-1];
}
return user;

- Dropshadow effect (in Resources):
<DropShadowEffect x:Key="DropShadow"
BlurRadius="15"
Color="Black"

- To use (in xaml):
Effect="{StaticResource DropShadow}"
- To use (in .cs):
control.Effect = Application.Current.Resources["DropShadow"] as System.Windows.Media.Effects.Effect
- To get position of a UIElement:
// Obtain transform information based off root element UIElement element = this as UIElement; GeneralTransform gt = element.TransformToVisual(Application.Current.RootVisual); // Find the four corners of the element Point topLeft = gt.Transform(new Point(0, 0)); Point topRight = gt.Transform(new Point(element.RenderSize.Width, 0)); Point bottomLeft = gt.Transform(new Point(0, element.RenderSize.Height)); Point bottomRight = gt.Transform(new Point(element.RenderSize.Width, element.RenderSize.Height));
