    In much of the writing about animation in Silverlight, one question that seems to  recurs is this: why bother with a linear key-frame animation if it is less intuitive and more complex than a simple from-to animation Let’s back up and examine that for just a second. Linear Interpolation Linear Interpolation...

  • Four Transforms

    I haven’t really written much about transforms in a long while. We looked at them in depth during the Silverlight 1.0 time frame and then more or less took them for granted ever since. It may be time for a review – perhaps a quick video (it’s on my list!). In the meantime, here’s a quick peak into some...

      I recently finished Part 2 of Page Switching in which I demonstrate how to pass parameters between Silverlight pages (this video is in production and should be available soon.)

That said, this book is likely to be of significant interest to this community, and so, now that it is officially listed on Amazon , I thought it reasonable to mention that it is on the way, and that Tim and I are exceedingly proud of it.

  • In-State Animation In A Nutshell

    I’ll be covering this in videos and tutorials in depth, but I’ve come to realize that in-state animation is so straight forward that it can be explained in a quick blog entry. In fact, the really hard part is explaining what it is viz: the Visual State Manager uses animation (story boards) move from...
