With the release of Silverlight 3 Jeff Paries decided to update his photo gallery wall application.
Silverlight 3 saved me a lot of trouble - the bitmap effects make perfect drop shadows with nice, soft edges, no imperfectly-shaped paths or duplicate text fields. I also get perspective transforms, so now I can build out the panels along a flat plane, and rotate the entire panel into 3D. One more new feature I used was the ImageCompleted event. No more image "popping" when a storyboard starts before an image is fully loaded.
