I've just discovered you can do this, which is cool:

slider.BeginAnimation(Slider.ValueProperty,
new DoubleAnimation(slider.Value, newValue, animationDuration, FillBehavior.Stop));

Just like Core Animation, I had no idea that was possible. The question is, when I do this, is there any way to make the animation more in a non linear way, so it starts slow and gets faster, or vice versa ?

Amusingly, I just found a class called AnimationTimeline. But, it doesn't seem to take To and From properties, and generally doesn't respond well to googling, so, still need help....

John - I've started to use Bling[^] to work with animations. You might find this useful. Alternatively, Blend allows you to specify easings by manipulating the keyframe spline.

I'd prefer Bruce....

And, the point is that I want to create this thing in code, not in XAML.

Bruce is good. Bling is the puppy for you then.

Yes/No Dialog Box for saving data in Silverlight...Urgent!!!

There is AccelerationRatio and DecelerationRation but they are not that customisable, the next version of WPF and Silverlight support built-in and custom easing functions.

Hi All, I want to show one dialog box when user closes the browser.

I have added the code in Application_Exit :

HtmlPage.Window.Confirm("Do u want to save your data?");

So that It shows me the OK/Cancel box, which is fine for me. But I want the event for YES so that if user says YES then I could save the data and if he says NO then I do not save the data.

Can anybody have any idea????

I'm pleased that you got the solution to your problem, but could you please refrain from using Urgent in posts. These are volunteer only forums, and people will get to your problem when they have time.

Is it possible to use silverlight in Windows Forms ?

Use WPF

Silverlight is a browser plugin. Put a browser control on your form and
hit a page that has a Silverlight control on it Smile | :)

But as mentioned, since Windows Forms is Windows-specific, you can use WPF.

Do any of the current silverlight versions (1,2 and 3 beta) support Parallel and Multi-core Programming?

I know nothing of version 1, which is obsolete at this point anyway, but
Silverlight 2+ has a System.Threading namespace with the familiar Thread,
BackgroundWorker, etc. classes.

Hi,

I have developed 2 windows in WPF . In Window1 Window_Loaded i have created the window2 like this so that the window2 controls will be intialized during startup itself

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Window Window2 = new Window();
}

And iam only showing the window2 on the button click from window1, but the window2 display takes about 4 to 5 secs.

Is there any thing do be taken care which iam missing.

Thanks

Without knowing what is done inside Window2 before it's allowed to be displayed, we can't help you.

Is it really a Window ? Not a derived class ? I assume not. Try setting breakpoints in your code to see which part of the process is taking that long.

That Silverlight was meant to be used as the latest web technology but things as basic as making use of forms authentication or membership seems to require that the developer build services that extend these services to the Silverlight application.

It just seems odd that MS would release a product architecture that is meant to replace ASP.NET interfaces but then cause so much extra work to have to be done.
