Over the past couple of days I had a chance to update the TranstionContainer control in FluidKit. There are a bunch of refactorings and some new features: TransitionContainer has been renamed to TransitionPresenter Previously TransitionPresenter was a ContentControl, but used as if it were an ItemsControl. I have now made it into an ItemsControl, which [...]
It’s always good to hear about people using FluidKit in their projects. Today morning I got a mail from David Rousset about a project he had done, that used FluidKit’s TransitionContainer. He has published an article on the MSDN-France website describing the project in more details. Here is a quick screenshot highlighting the TransitionContainer [...]
That’s what one of my friends suggested. Well, the source is out there on CodePlex. With some tweaks to the Camera angle, Models and animations, it is quite possible to make ElementFlow look like the following: Have a look at the Video, around the 4:00 mark.

This is just a short post on some of the changes that have been checked in. There were couple of people who provided suggestions/tips/feedback on the controls. I have incorporated most of them and will continue to improve in the next release. Thanks to Ricky Ralston, Marlon Grech, Jeremiah Morill, Ben from iTagSoftware. Additions [...]
In my previous post I described a pixel shader technique for distorting images and 2D textures. The source for this effect is now available on the FluidKit project. If there is enough interest I can do a quick tutorial on how the effect was created. Similar Posts: FluidKit with Outlook 2007 and Dynamics CRM [...]
The Carousel view has become a pretty popular visualization for a list of items. It consists of a set of items arranged circularly with the selected item brought to the front, just the like the figure below: In a recent discussion on the WPF Disciples Group, I got a little motivated to experiment with this [...]
Over the past couple of days I finally got a chance to get back to ElementFlow and give it some overhaul. I have done some integral changes to the core parts of the control so now its leaner and more powerful. There are also a few client-facing changes. Thanks to all the users of FluidKit [...]
Yesterday, May 15th I gave a talk at the New York City’s .Net User Group. As you can expect my talk was around WPF and in fact very similar to the one I gave at the NJ .Net UG. Since I did not change much in my presentation, let me point to my earlier blog [...]
Installing .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta is not recommended if you are using the current version of ElementFlow. When you add items at runtime, the corresponding 3D planes don’t show up. However when I check the Children collection, the models do exist. Looks like there are some issues adding GeometryModel3D to Model3DGroup at runtime. Surprisingly there [...]
TransitionContainer was a control I created sometime back to enable rich transitions between views. The transitions themselves are pluggable and can be changed dynamically. You can see this in action in the video below. The version included in FluidKit contains three transitions: Slide, Genie and Cube. You can implement your own by deriving [...]
