I want to design an associate silverlight diagraming surface where you can type in boxes, and then drag these boxes around and link them up to other boxes using lines, arrows. My first problem is what is the first step to take to go about this approach? I am looking for something like a mindmap or visio diagram.
Thanks,
Eric

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 want to display a table (like a footbal table) in silverlight in a windows phone 7 app. i was reading a bunch of articles on the www, but couldn't really understood what's the best way to approch this issue.
i am new to silverlight, so some code would be really awsome. I keep the data i have to display in some Lists (List), but i could change this...
any advices? thank you in advance!

Due to the form factor [of almost all mobile devices] lists are much easier to read.
You will see this in the default templates for WP7.
There are various ways you can create a "table" in Silverlight. (I assume you are refering to a league table.) The easiest would probably be a grid or a templated list.
If you really must do this I would suggest having 2 different ways of displaying the data depending on screen orientation.
In the portrait orientation I would show a list with minimal statistics.
In the landscape orientation I would show a table layout which could include multiple statistics as there is more horizontal space.
I wanted to create a slanted tab header using the tabitem control in the silverlight toolkit. I want it to look like the image below but i'm not sure how to accomplish this.

A quick search at SilverlightCream.com popped this one out:

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.
