		<description><![CDATA[I am going to show you how you can modify the standard ListBox control used in Silverlight 2.0.

		<title>Lambda Expressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In C# 2.0 there are anonymous methods, which allows you to write your method code inline instead of creating a new method in your class. In C# 3.0 there is a new feature - lambda expressions. The goal of this expressions is the same as the anonymous methods, but the syntax is more concise.
Let&#8217;s have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Xml Serialization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you want to store data, you often use a database. It&#8217;s very good way. But, sometimes you need to save too little amount of data that using a database is thoughtless.

		<title>Filesize To String</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made a simple function that converts a file size to a string. It computes the remainder after dividing the input size by 1024 and puts it in an array. This step is being performed while we have a size under 1024 - this is the number of the bytes.

When two or more threads need to access a shared resource at the same time, the system needs a synchronization mechanism to ensure that only one thread at a time uses the resource. Mutex is a synchronization primitive that [...]]]></description>
