Reflecting the entire layout panel in Silverlight 2 Beta 2

windowsclient.net — After my post on creating reflection with Silverlight 2 Beta . I was asked several times by couple of Silverlight enthusiasts questions like this : is there any way i can reflect an entire grid?, is it possible to make a reflection of lets say a grid with multiple buttons since there is no VisualBrush in Silverlight?, is there any chance to reflect some generic Control(Framework element etc)?. So I started to think about how entire Layout Panels like Grid,Canvas,Border etc. can be reflected. In WPF I did this stuff so easily. But in Silverlight I didn't find any any way till last night. The idea behind Layout reflection is , creating a mirror effect of a Container Control, which means child controls placed inside the container will also be reflected. read more...

dotnetcurry.com — Retrieving and displaying images in a GridView is a time consuming task. If done synchronously, this task can at times test the user’s patience. One way to provide a good user experience is to load the images asynchronously.
