He's created a blog under Storm ID's (the company we both work for.) little sister.

Nice one Bob...look forward to reading your blog! :) Technorati Tags: Silverlight,Storm Ideas
I work for a web development company in Edinburgh called Storm ID (http://www.stormid.com). We love staying at the forefront of web technology; ASP.NET MVC, WCF, Silverlight.... Our company's Silverlight guru is Bob Thomson. "The Drum" (http://www.thedrum.co.uk) has published an article on Bob's thought's on Silverlight 2.0: "Hi Ho Silver! Has Flash Had Its Day?" http://www.thedrum.co.uk/indepth/1650-hi-ho-silver-has-flash-had-its-day- Love the title Bob! Bob discuses all the current Web technologies from Flex/Flash, HTML/JavaScript/AJAX, to Silverlight and Microsoft Mesh. Really interesting article. All we need now is a Bob to set up his own blog so the rest of us can...
Today I have been playing with some Silverlight 2.0
The application that I built was a very simple app, but I still wanted to add some nice imagery to it. So one of my designers created a logo for me to use.
Now...I'm a big fan of using PNG's, however it so happens that the designer created a transparent GIF. Fair enough isn't it!?
Ok, now to add the image to my canvas in Expression Blend...right click....Insert... wait a minute "Insert" is disabled! ??? I'm confused.
Right lets try drag and drop.... no that did not work either.
Last try...lets create an Image object...
