I want to create a slider with images like a control in the bottom of the youtube(floating images with left and right navigation button). How i have to start. i am new to wpf.
for example: http://blog.wpfwonderland.com/page/4/
Geetha.
I think the best way to start anything is just to start right away. Even if you don't know how to start... Just write the first line of code. Let it be awful. Hardcode images. Use dirty tricks. Then throw it away and rewrite.
Along with writing the code read a lot. There are dozens of books on WPF out there. MSDN sections are awesome.
Don't forget to read the code too. This technique is extremely helpful. You can find good examples of carousel implementation.
Hope this helps.

I have looked around everywhere on this subject, found quite a bit of information, it all looks very complex. I have found this article which is really good.
But it doesn't really breakdown how to calculate the values to enter into the ArcSegment to make a full circle, does anyone have any advice. Just show me how to make an ArcSegment which will start at one point and go around 360 and I will work from there.
I have the better solution in form of highly customizable open-source project: https://github.com/panthernet/XamlRadialProgressBar
You can style it as you like or examine the code and create your own beast :)
I have done exactly this, as described in the blog post:

I have window with loading icon.
In application I do like this
// create loading window
loadingWindow.Show();
//do some operations
loadingWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Hide;
loading window is not showing.
Can you tell me guys what I do wrong?
Maybe this will give you some help in the right direction. I believe you have to use threads to get the loading effect.
Edit: You show the loadingWindow, then you do operations and then you hide the loadingWindow. Since there is nowhere stated that the app should wait with making the loadingWindow hidden till the operations are done it won't show up. If you look at the link I posted you should get a general idea of how to make a loadingscreen. If it so happens to be you do need help with it, just say so in a comment.
Hope it helps.
If you want a splash screen, use the SplashScreen class.
Note that it can only display an image, so it's not suitable if you need something more complex (e.g. animations or interactivity)
Hii
Can anyone tell me how can I show percentage on the piechart....
The percentage is seen on mouseover event but I dont know how to show
the percentage on the piechart's slices....
If you are looking to put labels on the chart itself (instead of tooltip), take a look at this great blog post by WPF guru Bea Stollnitz.
It shows how to do this, in many different modes, and explains not only how, but why.
Take a look at amCharts Bundle for WPF. Pie chart supports labels on the slices, outside connected labels and includes an algorithm to prevent label overlapping.
I've just followed this tutorial (just to make sure) and I get the percentages of each slice as tooltip on mouse over by default.
If you post your code we might be able to spot if there's a problem with it.
You can use labelFunction in mx:PieSeries, and lableFunction look like that
private function pieSeries_labelFunc(item:Object, field:String, index:Number, percentValue:Number):String
{
return StringUtil.substitute("{0} ({1}%)",item.description,percentValue.toFixed(1));
}
Where description is the label that you want to see.
feel free to ask any question.
I would like to make a rotating form WPF effect like the one in the norton antivirus 2010.
The effect is a rotating form that changes the contents when the other side is shown. But the axis is not in the center of the form but moves from side to center and back. Like a three step effect.
The rotating form can be seen at 8' 07" in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3hHPdgi9Nk&feature=related (I'm sad but this was the only video I found on YouTube)
Thanks.
Have a look at the Thriple stuff on CodePlex: http://thriple.codeplex.com/
It's almost exactly what you're after.
Hope this helps.
I did not examine the details, but I know that Microsoft's patterns & practices team also uses a similar animation in their "StockTrader Reference Implementation" for the "Composite Application Guidance". They sub-classed the TabControl and added some animation to it. I think the relevant code parts can be found here:
AnimatedTabControl.Desktop.cs
Generic.xaml
just verify this link. It has code as well as the Sample.
From the Sample take the TransitionPresenter link from the left panel and choose the 3D Rotate item from the listbox. Then select the images from the top list. You can see the same effect in the video. I saw some initial sanp of the video and may be this link can help you.

I'm currently trying to build my personal website with Silverlight 3 and I've got this idea that you should be able to flip through the content in a certain way. I haven't seen exactly what I wanted before, so I uploaded a screenshot of the design for you guys to get a better idea of what I'm talking about:

As you can see it's more or less a carousel on the X axis. I've seen a fair number of carousel tutorials, but it seems to be quite "complicated" for what I'm looking for.
My main problem is that I fail to understand how to make this thing dynamic. I can sure do the flipping animations, but when it comes to the best approach of making the bottom page (the mirrored one) the previous etc, I'm a bit lost :)
I'm looking for any good advice on how to make this dynamic in such a way that the only thing that needs to be changed is the content itself (text, pictures etc) Also, I believe that each page/usercontrol should be using the same two (flip up and flip down) animations, if that's possible at all?
Hope I made myself clear on this - it's late after all ;) If not, just let me know and I'll see if I can elaborate!
Looks like you are looking for a Flippable 3D control. So check out my blog for one and you can tweak it to make vertical rotation.
