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.

I downloaded a picture from a tutorial on how to create Flappy Bird in Unity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihvBiJ1oC9U
When I use it in Unity it works perfect however when I try to make any changes to it, whether by simple "Paint" or "Photoshop", the picture turns blurry and I can't understand why, here is a video where you can see the problem: https://imgur.com/a/RtB14Wu
Here are 2 of the picture's details page, on the left, the one I downloaded from the tutorial that works good, on the right the one I simply changed some pixels in "Paint": https://imgur.com/a/W48Gte2
Make sure you apply the right settings for your new image. Specifically the Alpha and Filter Mode.
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:

A lot of the websites these days is built using grids, pre-made or custom ones. What I noticed is that most of these grids are based on rows, and usually work with the width of the columns, not taking the height of the elements (modules) into account.
I was wondering what the best way (or what the possibilities are) of building a modular grid is? By modular grid I understand such grid where the individual modules could be set in both width and height and be fluid in dependence on the screen. A grid where you'd know you have let's say 12 columns and 9 rows (the width / height of each would be given), and you'd be able to fill it with modules like a mosaic (that makes it sound almost too simple).
Here's an example picture of what I have in mind (picture borrowed from here):
I came upon a couple of examples, but most of them weren't responsive or were built using Flash. I believe there is a way to do it, just not sure myself how.
I know there might not be ONE correct way, but I'm curious about the possible techniques to go about it. Thank you!
This layout technique is commonly known as masonry, here are a couple of responsive masonry links to get you started:

good luck!
I would have to say your best option would be to build it using Bootstrap or Foundation, since they are set up to handle this kind of thing.They have classes that, assuming you use a 12 column grid to start, let you pick how many columns they can take up.

If I set the Panorama.Background image brush source to a URL of a photo out on the internet, the image is centered and cropped, rather than starting at the left edge and bleeding off the screen to the right, widescreen style.
If I set the source as a local pack URI, its fine.
Smells like a bug.
Anyone got a simple workaround? Microsoft should be equipping us with a working SDK that allows us to create experiences at least as good as the phone's hubs.
Thanks!
UPDATE
The problem appears not to be images on the web, but images that are smaller than the screen size of the phone - all my web-hosted images are quite small for bandwidth reasons.
Taking my original background art 1024x768 and halving its size results in the phone cropping the right edge of the image.
UPDATE 2
Found someone else with the same problem:

UPDATE 3

Side-by-side images demonstrate the bug, clearly. I'll throw it over to Cliff on the team in Redmond and see what he thinks.
It's a problem I've found since my earliest days with the phone, and I assumed it'd be quite a well-known issue. So I expected people to quickly say "Oh yeah, that old chestnut, you need to do XYZ."
Thanks for the -3, everyone. Keep up the good work.
Before running around with "IT'S A BUG!" claims, I would do my research.
That being said, you are downloading an image, and most likely using a combo of BitmapImage/ImageBrush. Now, ImageBrush has a Stretch property and that is where you have to look.
The panorama background is intended to be a rich, high quality image.
I would expect what you're seeing ("inconsistent" resizing) if you're using an image smaller than the space you're filling and not specifying how it should be stretched.
If you're claiming a bug, what is the behaviour you're expecting?
Based on your blog post (liked in update 3) it seems you're expecting a different default stretch behaviour for an image when used in the background in a panorama. As a general rule, introducing inconsistencies or conditional defaults is likely to introduce more confusion and work in the long run.
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.
