wpf usercontrol - click animation
I have created a wpf usercontrol with some complex XAML (converted from SVG). It's basically a fancy button. I would like to create an animation in the usercontrol's XAML to "shift" it's location by 4 pixels to the right and down, to simulate a click, and then have it pop back to its original location. To me, this sounds like the fir...

I'm looking for a test framework that helps me test XAML views/controls. Not just to verify correct data binding but especially to test the appearance and behavior of more complex controls.

How do you remove the padding from within a Silverlight DataForm?
I’ve got a Silverlight 3 DataForm which is adding some odd padding to the DataTemplate. Using Silverlight Spy to inspect the XAML output, it looks like there’s a ContentPresenter with a margin of 12, 12, 6, 12 which then contains the contents of the DataTemplate. This means there's always padding in the form which is not ideal for my sit...

Dynamic Height and Width When Rendering XAML Buttons to PNG
I'm putting together a prototype to use XAML to create PNG buttons. The basic idea is that nice, gradient image buttons can be generated from localized strings instead of having them created by any sort of graphics dept. The most straightforward example I found actually was to build a C# assembly and call it from PHP. I converted it to...
