GridSplitters work great if you want to provide a split view between two views. By dragging the GridSplitter you can adjust the space allocated to each view. As one view grows in size, the other reduces by the same size. For most cases, this is exactly what is required. In my case, this wasn’t enough. [...]
When working in SketchFlow for SilverLight 3, the default file name of the test page is called “TestPage.html”. If this is not what you want, you can easily change it in the main SketchFlow project’s .csproj file.

This post is inspired by an interesting idea sent by Bo Stilling, one of the readers of my book. It combines the ideas discussed in Chapter 4 “Custom Panels” and Chapter 7 “IScrollInfo” to create a panel that lays out the items about a half-circle.
