I searched for FindResource in my 80,000 line WPF application and came up with 323 hits, all of which work. So it definitely works in VS2008. We obviously need more information from you. What does your code look like and where are you storing the resource in your solution?

It sounds like you haven't added the animation trigger anywhere. Take a look, in Blend, at the storyboard and check to see what the trigger event is.

This[^] might help you decide.

Remember that this link discusses SL 2.0 where as SL 3.0 is out now.
More new controls and other excellent features are available in SL3.0.

My advice is to create the pages in dotnet. because html rendering is difficult (not available i think) in silverlight.u can embed dotnet in silverlight

If you don't want to go down the MVVM route, there's no reason you can't name your image control and update the image directly in your load image handler. Here's an example of how to actually load the image (in C#):

public ImageSource LoadImage(string imageSource)
{
  src.BeginInit();
  src.UriSource = new Uri(imageSource, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
  src.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
  src.EndInit();
  return src;
}

Best container or control for a Card object for a card game in WPF

HI,
I'm working on a card game and am curious how to design my Card class (each of which are held in a CardDeck class which extends List<Card>. The card is not a typical playing card, instead having a title and description as well as a unique Image on the front.

During play, the cards need to be displayed and moved in a some sort of layout panel. I've created the basic Card object with the following properties:

public string Title
public string Description
public Image CardFront
private Image CardBack

I thought of extending the Card as an Image or as a Viewport. But being new to WPF (and .NET Windows application programming) I'm not sure the best way to implement it.

Thanks,
Chris

Silverlight for Windows Application Forms...? VB.Net 2008

I like to show my forms with silverlight option, is it possible? This is the first time I am trying...

My idea is while the datas are readonly, then the form opening time if we show the silverlight option then the user can easily identify that it cannot be change...

So, Any better guidences... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Thanks...

Amazing how many people try to use a technology without even knowing what its for.

Silverlight is for Web applications not Windows applications. For Windows you need to use WPF.

If your controls are readonly I think that would be a pretty big hint to the user that it can't be edited. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Dear friends,

i have a clarification ...

I have canvas with few paths like these

<canvas>
<Path name="path1" ..../>
<Path name="path2" ..../>
</canvas>

now i have style for canvas ...in that style is it possible to change the property of the "Path1"???
[Because i have problem like these .. i have few paths in canvas if i move a cursor on any path .. i have to change the property of "Path1" .. so i think working on the canvas will make possible]

Thank you

It would help if you actually showed the paths.
