It moves the text up and rotates it at the same time resulting in a spiraling effect. It is done by giving the TextBlock elements a PlaneProjection each and animating the RotationY and GlobalOffsetY properties.

I started working on a Silverlight Page Curl when I encountered one on the internet and realized I had not seen it done in Silverlight yet. Read the manual to learn how to customize the Silvelight Page Curl using intialization parameters.

A basic function is to use a small footprint for the plug-in and enlarging that to a new plug-in size. This way most of the original page can be used for content and links close to the plug-in can be clicked, while you can still show a good part of an image beneath the curl when the mouse cursor is hovered over the plug-in. The plug-in size has to be reduced again when the mouse cursor is outside the plug-in area.

Some of those can still be found in the current Beta 2 release, but others are resolved to a degree that makes for a workable Silverlight 2 environment.
