Another Mix08 sample

I've posted the first sample I showed in my Mix08 session. The gratuitous use if video and animations is designed to show how well Silverlight 1.0 features (media and animations) work with the Silverlight 2 control model. In this sample, I show a rotating TextBox using separate VideoBrushes for both the foreground text and the background. Here’s what it looks like:

This is a fully declarative sample. The XAML for this sample is shown below:

<UserControl x:Class="Mix08.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007" xmlns:x=http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml

MinWidth="800" MinHeight="600">

<Grid.Background>

<LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>

</LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>

</LinearGradientBrush>

</Grid.Background>

<TextBox.Triggers>

<EventTrigger.Actions>

</UserControl>

Mike Harsh and I gave a couple of sessions at Mix08 this year on building applications using Silverlight 2 Beta 1. You can find a live version of the one of the samples here and I've posted the source here. Here's a screen shot of the sample:
