Expression Blend 4 comes with some pretty cool pre-built
VisualState transition-animations called
TransitionEffects. A
TransitionEffect is a pixel-based transition from one state to another, in other words it’s a PixelShader that has an animatable Progress property. These effects can be used in various scenarios, they are very developer/designer friendly, and they are an easy way to make your Silverlight application more attractive.
In this article I will show you two situations to use Blend 4’s built-in TransitionEffects:
- Navigating between pages in Navigation Framework and
- switching between Views in an MVVM (Light Toolkit) scenario.
