Starting with Silverlight (part 1)

Posted By: Christian Liensberger | May 20th @ 3:26 AM

Mario Meir-Huber, a senior student partner from Austria, created a cool series of screencasts on Silverlight:

In this screencast I show the functionality of the Layout Managers in XAML. It is a very simple introduction and gives you an overview on layouting in Silverlight.

The Layout Managers shown in the video are: the Grid, the StackPanel and the Canvas.

Furthermore, I show you also how to interact with them in your source code.

For a brief introduction of the Silverlight concepts please watch also the video interview that we did with Jaime Rodriguez.

The source code for the samples shown in the video can be downloaded from here.

Would silverlight be the right thing for making a mockup design of a Windows UI? I have 2D mockups (very very early) but I want to make cool animations that I think would be useful, at least more useful than Flip3D.

Urgh C8 doesn't allow you to embed the cool Skydrive download thing...anyways here is a link to the .design file. Here is a png of that .design. Early and to some ugly but it is what I want to work on.

hi trix,

i am not sure if i understand your question correctly ...

you would like to change some Windows UI functionality? Silverlight is a web technology, so you can't influence the windows apperance ...
