Recently I was looking for Silverlight powerpoint to download in order to give a presentation in my company. Here are some nice content I found :
Scott Guthrie (obviously) did some talks during the year and is kind enough to share his slides :

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/06/06/my-quot-lap-around-silverlight-quot-talk-at-teched.aspx
Tim Sneath provides 2 great presentations, one for Silverlight 1.0 and the other for Silverlight 1.1 :

Well done!

Problem: You reinstalled Live OneCare, or you start using v2 beta, and want to delete your old backup folder, but you can't.
This is a permission problem, that maybe you can solve with cacls with command line:
cacls "<drive letter>:\<path>" /t /g administrators:F
Sample:
cacls "F:\Windows OneCare Backup\YourComputerName" /t /g administrators:F
Do NOT put a \ at the end of the path.
You'll get a message "Are you sure(Y/N)?"
This will strip the permissions from the folder and you should be able to delete it.
Another solution found on the Windows Live OneCare Forum :
- Under Computer, double-click the disk letter that corresponds to your hard disk.
- Right-click the Windows Live OneCare folder, and then click Properties.
- On the Security tab, under Groups or user names, click either Administrators or your user name.
- Click on Edit
- Next to Full Control, select the Allow check box, and then click Apply.
- In the Windows Live OneCare folder, select the backup set folder, and then press DELETE.

This is not directly related to ASP.NET but might be very useful for general web development, check out these great free online tools from Dynamic Drive :
FavIcon Generator
Use this online tool to easily create a favicon (favorites icon) for your site. A favicon is a small, 16x16 image that is shown inside the browser's location bar and bookmark menu when your site is called up. It is a good way to brand your site and increase it's prominence in your visitor's bookmark menu.
Try FavIcon Generator
Email Riddler
Email Riddler is an online tool that encrypts and transform your email address into a series of numbers when displaying it, making it virtually impossible for spam harvesters to crawl and add your email to their list.
Try Email Riddler
Gradient Image Maker
Gradient images are used everywhere in web page design, ie, as the background of form buttons, DIVs, to act as shadows and other interesting visual effects etc. We created this online tool to allow you to painlessly generate a gradient image of 3 types, with instant previewing so you get exactly what you had in mind.
Try Gradient Image
Image Optimizer
Image Optimizer lets you easily optimize your gifs, animated gifs, jpgs, and pngs, so they load as fast as possible on your site. Furthermore, you can easily convert from one image type to another.

Badge Button Maker
Use this online tool to easily and visually create those popular "XHTML valid" micro buttons (80x15). You can also opt for the larger 88x31 button instead. Enjoy!
Try Button Maker
I think later I'll post about others great free online resources I use a lot, buttons generators, xhtml templates and stuff like this.

As you know Silverlight is currently available in 2 versions :
First thing to know is the 1.1 alpha release contains the 1.0 beta bits, if you already installed 1.1 you do not need 1.0
Right, so how do you know which version of Silverlight is installed on your browser (Win)?
On IE if you go to Tools/Manage Add-ons, you see an AgControl pluggin, but no way to get the version there...
For IE/Win you can use the following code to detect the Silverlight version :
if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows') != -1) &&
(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('MSIE') != -1) )
{
try
{
var AgControl = new ActiveXObject("AgControl.AgControl");
agVersion = AgControl.settings.version;
AgControl = null;
}
catch (e)
{
agVersion = -1;
}
}
alert(agVersion);
Version 0.90 is v1.0
Version 0.95 is v1.1
Another way to check the version, more user friendly, look at the folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight", if you have 2 files only:
then you have 1.0 installed.
If you have much more files like these one :
- coreclr.dll
- mscorlib.dll
- microsoft.scripting.dll
- mscorrc.dll
- microsoft.jscript.runtime.dll
- microsoft.visualbasic.dll
- system.xml.core.dll
- system.core.dll
- ironpython.modules.dll
- ironpython.dll
- agclr.dll
- microsoft.jscript.compiler.dll
- system.silverlight.dll
- slr.dll
then you have 1.1
That's all folks.
