Reflecting the entire layout panel in Silverlight 2 Beta 2

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 11:46:02 GMT

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.

Creating Vista Style Login Screen With Silverlight 2 Beta 2

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:16:14 GMT

I was trying to create Vista style Login screen using Silverlight. I've seen couple of excellent custom Vista style UI designed in WPF by the known WPF gurus. Seeing their example I thought It's also possible to try something Vista style in Silverlight. Since Silverlight has many things common with WPF. So I started to get my feet wet to create a Vista style Login Screen using Silverlight 2 Beta 2.

Animation in-depth with Silverlight 2.0 Beta - Part Five

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 06:31:02 GMT

In the last part I've shown how the VideoBrush can be used and videos can be animated by dividing MediaElement into two parts. In this demonstration of Silverlight animation I'll focus on transitional animation. We've seen this type of animation many times in movies, television commercials, music videos, in sting which we see at the beginning of any news. The wipe effect and dissolves are mostly used in film and television. There are other effects which fall into the category of wipe and dissolves.

Animation in-depth with Silverlight 2.0 Beta - Part Three

Mon, 26 May 2008 15:31:02 GMT

Here's an example of an animation where clicking a button will increase the size of the font of the button. First I've declared two constants of type double, one for the font size of the button at the initialization time, which is declared as initFontSize; and the other one at runtime when the button is clicked. When clicked, the event handler creates a DispatcherTimer that generates Tick events every tenth of a second. The TimerOnTick method here increases the FontSize by two units every tenth of a second until the size reaches 48 units, at which point the button is restored to its original size and the timer is stopped.

Animation in-depth with Silverlight 2.0 Beta - Part Two

Fri, 16 May 2008 15:31:07 GMT

I mentioned in the first article that a Storyboard controls animations with a timeline, and provides object and property targeting information for its child animations. This is the cornerstone of Silverlight animation. A Storyboard is a set of one or more animations. It is comparable to a <TransformGroup> element. Storyboard does exactly the same things for animations that <TransformGourp> does for transformations. Storyboard has a Children property that enables you to access all the animation objects within a given Storyboard. Animations do not add or remove elements, they temporarily alter the property values of existing elements. If you create a new Storyboard and add a new rectangle to the canvas, that rectangle will be available to all Storyboards, not just the current one. The rectangle was added to the scene's base canvas and is not specific to the active Storyboard.
