Over at Project Rosetta they have the post I’ve been waiting for: How to use mathematics to enhance user experiences. They basically walk step by step through how we can use mathematics to create easing equations and pseudo-3D effects. They then use these principles to create the following application. Click and drag on a name…
I’ve been too quiet lately and I need to dump some links so I don’t forget about them: SVLite Effects from Cellbi – Amazing work with Silverlight… play around with their Carousel project in particular. Awesome. Silverlight.FX – From Nikhil Kothari, a very useful FX library with about a dozen kinds of transitions and effects….
Mac Scroller Project Files Updated for RCW Just because we’re working in Microsoft technologies doesn’t mean we can’t throw a bone to our Mac friends. After all, they are the people we love, our cousins and our neighbors, and that irritating guy who is dating our daughter and can’t seem to shut up about how…
I’ve recently be working on changing the ControlTemplate of a GridViewColumnHeader in a custom ListView that we’ve been working on. (The ListView was rewritten for sorting, so that’s why it had to be custom.) One of the things we had to do was swap out ControlTemplates so that we could display a caret to indicate…
This is just a quick note on creating a ListView style with the appropriate GridView style and template assignments. Normally, I’ve been creating listviews that look like this: <ListView x:Name=”MyListView” ItemContainerStyle=”{DynamicResource MyListViewItemContainerStyle}”> <ListView.View> <GridView ColumnHeaderContainerStyle=”{DynamicResource MyListViewHeaderStyle}” ColumnHeaderTemplate=”{DynamicResource MyGridColumnHeaderTemplate}”> I did this because I didn’t know exactly how to assign these styles…
I recently got a comment asking if I could do something on creating a Blend-type ScollViewer styling. The only problem is that the ScrollViewer is a multi-post affair, which I’ll try to get completed in the next month or so. I’m going to go ahead and put up the basics here, much like my Styling…
My previous post is the first one that I’ve used Windows Live Writer to create. I changed from the default WordPress blog post composer because Live Writer gives me the following features: I don’t have to upload my images file-by-file… I just use OneNote to screen grab and then copy and paste from OneNote into…
Silverlight Concepts Covered: Building a basic Silverlight project Creating code behind for a event triggered by the user Creating an HTML alert (a fake MessageBox) in Silverlight Project Files are available for download at the bottom of the page. Because I’m an interaction designer and not a coder, I find that there are certain things…
This is little more than a pointer to a fantastic post by Mike over at Mike’s Code Blog, but I figured it was worth passing along. Mike’s post is focused on finding which item was double clicked, while mine is on determining when the double clicking happened on an item at all. I’ve recently come up against a…
I apologize for my extended sabbatical here… I’ve recently gotten married, which has thrown a bit of a wrench in my blogging commitment. I’ll start posting again with some regularity in about three weeks, at which point I will also start working on my first line-of-business Silverlight project. Until then…
