A few days ago I answered a question on stack overflow which asked How create a Circular Style progressbar?
The answer which I gave, and most people seemed to agree with, was that to achieve this you would have to create your own control from ‘scratch’. I was happy that my answer was accepted, but at the same time a little unhappy that this should be the right answer. After all, Silverlight / WPF give you the power to create ‘lookless’ controls, and what is a circular progress bar if it isn’t just another skin or ‘look’ for the regular progress bar?
