3D tag cloud in Silverlight

Bobi — 6/16/2011 11:29:10 AM

Hi guys,

Do you have any idea how can I create a 3D tag cloud in Silverlight. It sure will be very impressive for the project I am working on.
My approach was to create a custom control having a property which lists all the tags. I managed to arrange them to look like a 3D tag cloud in XAML but I wonder what is the best way to do it in code... so that I can reuse and style my custom control further? And I also had problems running the animation when the mouse is over one of the tags...

Thanks

XAML designers

Hello guys,

Do you like the XAML designer in Visual Studio? Do you use it..or you just type in the tags by yourself? Is there any visual designer for XAML except Expression Blend?

Why explicit Style defined in a theme Which had been applied for one control aren't update when change the Theme ?.

Main.xaml: (This is a resume of main.xaml , to see full have a look the attached file)








Main.xaml.cs : (This is a resume of main.xaml.cs, to see full have a look the attached file)
       private void Change_to_Dark_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            //Cleannig
            App.Current.Resources.Clear();
            App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();
            Theme.SetApplicationThemeUri(App.Current, null);

            Uri themeUri = new Uri("/Controls.Dark;component/Generic.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
            Theme.SetApplicationThemeUri(Application.Current, themeUri);
        //The theme changed but the style of Border doesn't change.
   }

There is a Controls project "Controls.csproj" (to see full have a look the attached file) with:
Generic.xaml
Style.xaml
ButtonCustomized.xaml

There are 2 themes projects created like this "Controls.Dark.csproj" (to see full have a look the attached file):
Generic.xaml
Style.xaml

Generic.xaml

    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Controls;assembly=Controls">





Style.xaml

    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    #FDB800

                         Color="{StaticResource KeyColor}" />
                         Color="{StaticResource KeyColor2}" />





I don't know why the explicit style doesn't are updates when change theme of the application?

Thanks for the future answers, regards.

Hi, new to the windows phone development and wondered if anyone could help. I have an RSS feed working fine, but I don't know who to link to the link webpage. Here is my part of the code if anyone can assist me:

Mainpage.xaml

MainPage.xaml.cs

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
{

        // Constructor
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainPage_Loaded);
}

        void MainPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            WebClient wc = new WebClient();
            wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://www.templatedepot.co.uk/rss/rss.xml"));
            wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadStringCompleted);

}

        void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Error != null) return;

XElement xmlItems = XElement.Parse(e.Result);

            listBox1.ItemsSource = from x in xmlItems.Descendants("item")
                                   select new RSSitem
                                   {

                                       Date = x.Element("pubDate").Value,
                                       Link = x.Element("link").Value,
                                       Title = x.Element("title").Value,
                                       Description = x.Element("description").Value,
                                       Image = x.Element("enclosure").LastAttribute.Value

                                   };
                    }
       }

    public class RSSitem
    {
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Date { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string Link { get; set; }
        public string Image { get; set; }

}

Would really appreciate any assistance - Thank you.

Learning Silverlight as a non .NET developer

hitechito — 5/3/2013 2:22:04 PM

There are several people about (myself being one of them) who have been developing RIA for a while now using Flex and AJAX. However Silverlight is now on the scene and worth picking up.

Question is, as someone who has never looked at .NET before, should I just dive in Silverlight and try and make up the bits I'm missing, or start somewhere else in .NET in order to get a foundation first?
