Nick Josevski tried to find a solution of how to simulate a user typing text in a SketchFlow Animation and he came out with something that according to him works OK.

The definition of ok is very subjective in this situation. I also describe steps to animate a highlight effect on some text. So if you’re reading this and have a better/easier solution let me know.

Matthias Shapiro has posted a ComboBox TextWrapping tutorial.

Sometimes you just want stuff to work the way you want it to work. I want a property on the Silverlight ComboBox that says “WrapText”. But alas there is not one, so I have to do it myself.

Before Silverlight 3, you had to do perform some less-than-ideal tricks to achieve a drop shadow effect on your text.  In fact, the most decent trick I could find had to rely on the TextBox control and not the TextBlock control since you cannot re-template a TextBlock control.  But even that technique was not optimal since you couldn’t get a truly smooth shadow.
