Introduction

Last week I’ve published the first part of this article about the Shape controls in Silverlight 2. Now it’s time for the second. We will focus on the Polygon, the Polyline and the Path. Although these controls look more complicated than the first three, still the most important thing is to use your imagination.

To create a Polygon we use the Points property of the control to define the positions of the polygon’s points. Each point has X and Y value separated with spaces.

Introduction

In this article we are going to focus on the shape controls in Silverlight 2. These controls are very simple but they provide almost unlimited style possibilities, so make your imagination work and use them in a very creative and interactive way in every Silverlight application. There are six shape controls – the ellipse, the rectangle, the line, the polyline, the path and the polygon. In this article I’ll examine the first three of them, namely the ellipse, the rectangle and the line.
