Silverlight 2 Elliptical Control 3D (Carousel)!(iltc.wordpress.com)

submitted by samnoblesamnoble(100) 3 years, 7 months ago

I recently got myself set up with Silverlight so I could have a go at writing an app and seeing just what is the difference between it and WPF. I set myself the target of porting the 3D Ellipse control from my last post and this is the result. A 3D carousel control written in Silverlight 2. It is just as configurable as the last (well a little more as you can specify the focal length of the camera) and makes use of some neat tricks to get around the lack of 3D support in Silverlight. Screenshots, source code (Silverlight 2.0, C#) and walkthrough available. read more...

WPF Elliptical Layout Control II - 3D Carousel anyone?(iltc.wordpress.com)

submitted by samnoblesamnoble(100) 3 years, 7 months ago

A follow up post to my elliptical layout control which takes it in to the third dimension. The result is a FrameworkElement derived control which takes a collection of UIElements as its content and internally wraps them in Viewport2DVisual3D objects, displaying them in a Viewport3DVisual. Using the elliptical layout code with a few enhancements we essentially have a 3D carousel control where the parameters used to define the imaginary layout ellipse are fully configurable. Source code and a demonstration app are included and free to use for whatever. read more...

WPF Elliptical Layout Control(iltc.wordpress.com)

submitted by samnoblesamnoble(100) 3 years, 7 months ago

My first post on my new dev / WPF blog. It talks about the method and design of a 2D content control that positions any child objects as if they were evenly spaced around the edge of an ellipse. The parameters of the ellipse are fully configurable. Source code and a demonstration app are included and free to use for whatever. read more...
