Animated Items Control in Silverlight

Question

Does anyone know of a good, animated ItemsControl for Silverlight, or an easy way to implement it?

Bascially, I am looking for something that allows the items to fly in/out when the items are added/removed from the ItemsSource.

I tried re-templating the ItemsControl to use the RadWrapPanel from Telerik, but that wasn't quite what I was looking for. Realistically, an animated StackPanel would be nice.

I have also seen examples of doing this in Silverlight 4, but not with Silverlight 3.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Unless the SL4 examples you saw use features only available in SL4, you should be able to adapt the example to SL3.

Answer 2

You may be interested in the Blacklight project (here and here). It has an animated layout panel that might do what you need. I've used it successfully on various projects.
