Animating Interactive 2D Elements in a 3D Panel
This article reviews a custom WPF panel, named Panel3D, which hosts two-dimensional elements in three-dimensional space. You can supply an instance of Panel3D with objects to display, or you can use it as the items host of an ItemsControl. If you use Panel3D as the items host of a ListBox, the front-most item is automatically the selected item in the ListBox. Panel3D arranges its 3D models along a straight path, and provides animated movement of 3D models along that path. In addition, the panel implements a simple form of UI virtualization so that it runs quickly even if it contains hundreds of items..

Creating a Multi-Page Windows Forms Control with Design Time Support
Have you ever been faced with the task of displaying multiple pages on the same Windows Form? Most of us would certainly respond in the affirmative, and most of us have addressed this by using the good-old Tab Control. While tabs are undoubtedly a proven way of handling such cases, there are situations calling for a "less generic" approach. What if we need to make our form a bit more visually appealing and use icons or graphical buttons to flip through pages? What if we don't want to display tabs at all? Many familiar applications feature such graphical interfaces; however, the .NET framework offers no built-in tools to accomplish this, at least at the time of this writing.
