Was talking to a colleague about XAML and how it is both a presentation and object description language and therefore quite unique and novel among IT technology.

I have added a datagrid with some animation, but i can't seem to find anywhere that shows me a list of routed events to use on the datagrid, or any other control for that matter.

So even if I set the border of the tab control to be 0px and transparent there is still a very thin line on the right and bottom borders.

What would be the best way to get a slider control that slides on a path. At the moment I think the path I will use is a half circle arc.
