Michael Sync — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:56:12 +0000

Windows.Toolbar is Silverlight library that implements common widgets that allows us to build a rich toolbar control in our applications, it incorporates: group panels, drop down buttons, pickers…

Group Box: Allows us to group a set of related controls
Dropdown buttons: Apply default selection or click on arrow to choose new selected value.
Toggle Buttons: On / Off buttons, allows us to simulate the behaviour of a group of checkboxes or radio buttons
Color Picker: Chosee a color from a given palette.
Line Width picker: Perfect to choose wichi line width apply to a given border.
Line Style picker: Allow us to choose from a range of line styles.
Font Familiy Combo Picker: Displays a list of font styles, each entry is written using the font style that it represents

Silverlight Flow Layouts library

Michael Sync — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:42:42 +0000

Project Description

Silverlight Flow Layouts library is a control library allowing to create ItemsControls with a Cover-flow, Carousel or other 2D / 3D complex layouts. It targets Silverlight 4, is written in C# and targets average Silverlight Developpers

Live Demo

A live demo is accessible here: http://www.simonferquel.net/blog/flowlayouts/index.html.

Features
Virtualisation: FlowItemsControl2D and FlowItemsControl3D can handle thousands of child elements with amazing performance
Style-ready: ItemContainerStyle of FlowItemsControl2D and FlowItemsControl3D can be easily styled to customize the look and feel of individual items including VisualState management
DataTemplate-ready: FlowItemsControl2D and FlowItemsControl3D are standard ItemsControl and expose an ItemTemplate property for templating their data source. Additionaly, the library provides an InConverFlowContentControl that can be used inside an ItemTemplate and exposes Selection / Mouse visual states
Extensibility: 2D and 3D layout logic is externalized. So default layout can be replaced by a custom made one. See IFlowLayout2DAlgorithm and IFlowLayout3DAlgorithm interfaces
Design-Time ready: provides a rich design-time experience inside Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend
Extensible Gesture API : Enables interaction with the controls in a natural way (with manipulation / inertia feature). Custom layout algorithms can provide their own hit testing logic for gesture based manipulations.
NEW Silverlight 4 RC and WPF 4.0 RC support
NEW LayoutOffset property on FlowItemBase for better styling support
NEW LayoutChanged event on IFlowLayout2DAlgorithm and IFlowLayout3DAlgorithm to notify FlowItemsControls to invalidate themselves

More to come !
Layouts library (providing many other layouts such as Caroussel 2D / 3D, multi-rows CoverFlow, Flat circle, Spiral…)

Balder

Michael Sync — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:50:17 +0000

Managed GameEngine with both 2D and 3D support targetting Silverlight 2/3, Xna and OpenGL.

The name Balder comes from Norse Mythology. Balder is the modern Norwegian, Swedish and Danish form. He is also known as Baldr or Baldur (icelandic). Balder is the god of innocence.

The second son of Odin is Baldr, and good things are to be said of him. He is best, and all praise him; he is so fair of feature, and so bright, that light shines from him. A certain herb is so white that it is likened to Baldr’s brow; of all grasses it is whitest, and by it thou mayest judge his fairness, both in hair and in body. He is the wisest of the Æsir, and the fairest-spoken and most gracious; and that quality attends him, that none may gainsay his judgments. He dwells in the place called Breidablik, which is in heaven; in that place may nothing unclean be. – Brodeur’s translation
