  • Custom Per-Page Transitions in Windows Phone 7

    Jeff Brand continues his previous explorations of the TransitioningContentControl and now takes a look at how to extend the TCC to allow transitions to be defined on a per-page basis.

    Put simply, we would like to be able to have a default transition for all pages, and then provide a list of custom transitions that will be used on a page-by-page basis.  You can also watch a screencast  making these changes.  Source is linked at the end of the article.

    Jeff Brand has a short video on using TransitioningContentControl with Windows Phone 7 April CTP.

    In my original screencast (read here or on Channel 9), I showed you how to use the Silverlight Toolkit’s TransitioningContentControl to add automatic transitions between pages of your Windows Phone 7 Silverlight application.  A few days after recording and posting that screencast, Microsoft released an updated version of the tools and the emulator.  Soon after, I started to get reports from folks watching my screencast that the TransitioningContentControl not only didn’t work with the April CTP release, but it prevented their entire application from running.

    If you interested in developing with Silverlight on Windows Phone 7, you may want to read this post of Jeff Brand in which he explains how to add nice transitions between different pages of your application. 

    By default, Windows Phone page transitions really aren’t transitions at all.  The new PhoneNavigationPage is just popped into the root PhoneNavigationFrame.  Effective, yes. Cool, certainly not.  Face it, modern mobile applications need to not only be functional, but also stylish.  Simple “snap” transitions just don’t cut it.
