In this chapter, you will be learning the fundamental concepts of Animations in Silverlight Application, which includes Animation Types, namespace details, classes, objects used, implementation of different types of animations with XAML and with C# code ...

It’s fairly easy to create and animate a graphical primitive, say by moving it from point A to point B at constant speed. But what if you need to position several graphical objects in a particular arrangement and then animate them in a non-linear fashion? Neither Silverlight nor WPF has built-in functions for this. In this article, I’ll demonstrate ways in which one can create objects and animations dynamically using lambda-delegates and higher-order functions.

Simulating a random motion animation without code, using Spirographic Shapes, PathListBoxes, Storyboards & Behaviours

A class library that allows (almost) any control to show animations.

NArrange is a stand-alone, configurable .NET code beautification tool that automatically organizes code members and elements within .NET classes. It allows developers to easily sort class contents according to their style and layout conventions. NArrange works by parsing source code files into a document object model, arranging the elements then rewriting the arranged source code.

When creating new code files or designers that include code behind the design window, using statements are added automatically. With the Organize Usings command, redundant using commands can be automatically removed and the remaining items can be sorted.

A tree control implementation, allowing complete customization and animation support.

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..

This article shows how you can implement a smooth list box that allows intuitive, friction affected, scrolling of the list items. By friction based I mean that the user can apply a dragging force i one direction and the list will keep scrolling after the mouse or stylus is released and then slow down by itself.

I've looked at how lists behave on the iPhone and tried to mimic that to a certain extent, but I'm nowhere near anything as cool as what the iPhone presents.

This article shows an excellent mechanism for adding logging to a C# project. It is extremely powerful and versatile, yet very simple to implement and use. It uses two very common programming patterns: the singleton and the observer.
