Trying to get the story straight [A brief summary of Storyboard differences between WPF and Silverlight]

This item was filled under [ 新闻News ]

Slideshow using DomainUpDown and TransitionContentControl

This item was filled under [ 新闻News ]

I’ve seen quite a few slideshow controls for Silverlight. Mostly they are either retemplated listboxes (buying an easy transition effect for free) or custom controls. I’d like to see how the DomainUpDown control can be used to do a slide show. This post also takes a more indepth look at TransitioningContentControl and along the way shows how to retemplate and inherit/extend other controls.
