I have seen Cover Flow effect using WPF, and I'm looking for a tutorial. Where I can find the tutorial?
WPF Cover Flow Tutorial
Telerik has a ready to use coverflow control, which works fine is you're willing to pay for it.
As per this question:
ElementFlow control is inside the codeplex project called FluidKit should work for you.
It pretty much requires no tutorial to get going.

using VS 2013 and MahApps. I want to create a simple totally custion dialog, and am lost.
I would like to use XAML, but only code is also OK. The examples and documentations are very limited. Anyone can walk me through this?
Thanks!
There's already an answer from MahApps author.
He suggested to replace the dialog template with a style.
Also, there's a SimpleChildWindow project that he's supporting. It's not totally custom but surely simple.
Has anybody out there had a situation where you needed to implement an "editable" ComboBox in Silverlight? My client wants a ComboBox in their UI that allows the user to place focus on the selection box and start typing to automatically pull up the desired value from the available items, rather than requiring use of the drop-down list.
This feature is available, I know, in several implementations from third parties. For example, you can make this happen fairly easily with Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight. However, my client is restricted to using the Silverlight 3 Toolkit, with no third-party tools or plug-ins.
Any suggestions for a quick, down-and-dirty implementation? Any guidance or links are appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff
Okay, we had the same problem.
We went ahead and used the AutoCompleteBox from the Silverlight 3 tookit. Their implementation has a lot of things missing that we wanted. Because of these limitations, we created our own that inherited from it. It worked great and was very simple to do. Any tutorial for making your own control that inherits from another will help you.
Have fun. Since the toolkit is open source, you can always look at the code for guidance.
You can see the samples from the toolkit here: https://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/sl3/toolkitcontrolsamples/run/default.html
I'm looking for a WPF prism with ribbon application samples and tutorials. I have found many that cover prism or ribbon but only a few sources provide any information about implementating those two together in one application. No course code usually in available tough. An example with a few simple modules and a classical ribbon tab control would be perfect for me to start.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Enzo.
Edit:
I should add that by combining the two I want to be able to load different modules depending on the ribbon tab selected by user.
You can find some info on a customized region adapter for the WPF Ribbon Preview here.
Regarding the loading of modules on demand in Prism, here is another link to MSDN, covering the topic.
David Veeneman wrote a nice article about Ribbon & Prism on CodeProject
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/ViewSwitchingAppsPrism4.aspx
It includes RegionAdapter for Ribbon .
There is "Southridge Hands-On Labs" on Codeplex (download on WPF futures page). It is quite extensive, but documentation and source code are not in sync (it looks they updated labs source, but not accompanying documentation), so it can be a pain sometimes to get what is going on.
It is based on Microsoft's WPF Ribbon Preview library.
Edit:
I am not aware about any tutorial that covers both. You can check series of videos on Prism and Silverlight by Mike Taulty. There is also source code for application made in last video.
Then you can combine knowledge from Southridge labs and this Prism tutorial.
I ran into a similar problem this weekend and after much reading and searching came up with this code that I posted for review

Im working on a middle size project, using WPF. Need DataGrid, suitable for the client: fast, customizable, beautiful. Which component suite do you suggest from your practice?(for example Devexpress's, telerik's, Infragistics's and etc)
I have used Telerik data grid in the past and it seemed to have the least hastles for me compared to others I have had a look at.
However I can pretty much put my money on it that someone else would feel that Telerik's control wasn't great and that Infragistics was better etc. - so I suggest that you maybe download the trials and test them for your specific scenario.
"Fast, customizable, beautiful." - try Xceed's (I work there), there's a no-install XBAP demo. Also supports asynchronous data virtualization and smooth scrolling and other stuff no other datagrid does.
Xceed DataGrid for WPF main page
XBAP demos page
I've been evaluating Xceed for a few weeks now and while it is powerful it's dog slow when placed in a tab control switching between tabs. 30 seconds to open a tab on a large data set. The forum on their website seems to suggest this is a known problem without resolution. Shame as in other aspects it appears to do a good job.
I am trying to achieve the same behavior as indicated in the following post. The trouble is this post solves the problem for WPF.

Any ideas on how to do this in Silverlight 2.0?
Thanks
Chris
Wait for DynamicResources to be supported in a future version. If you need to do it once (e.g. at load time), the the Silverlight Toolkit's ImplicitStyleManager is a good solution (http://silverlight.codeplex.com)...otherwise you'll have to wait. WPF is more feature rich than SL2.
Thanks, I will look into it.
We are currently using some of the controls provided by ComponentOne, and they implemented a DataTemplateSelector (similar to the WPF implementation) for their ItemsControl.
That is the approach I am using currently, but there are still some issues I am working through.
Thanks Again.
