CoolMenu: A Silverlight Menu Control

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:16:14 GMT

I thought it would be cool to try building a reusable container control so I came up with CoolMenu. You really have to try this one out to get the full experience, a screen shot just doesn't do it justice. CoolMenu is a Silverlight container control that gives you a nice wave-like effect as you move your mouse over the menu items. Clicking a menu item causes the item to bounce.

Microsoft Popfly Cheat Sheet

Wed, 30 May 2007 09:31:01 GMT

"I've been using Popfly for just a short while now, and while I do enjoy the drag and drop visual design surface, it doesn't lend itself to text lists very well.
