WPF Elliptical Layout Control

8 10 2008

Today I was talking to a good friend and former colleague and he asked how I would go about laying out a collection of controls as if they were equally spread out around the edge of an ellipse. I did a quick Google and didn’t find much in the way of examples, so I decided to knock one together. An hour later and we have what I present here.

This is a fully working, but a little rough, demonstration of creating your own control and performing custom layout logic.

Welcomes and Hellos

Hello readers and welcome to my blog. I have been meaning to do this for a while now but have never gotten around to it, mostly because I know that I will actually have to come back and update this thing!

So a little about me. Well as the blog’s title suggests, I love to code! Presently I am working exclusively in .Net 3.5 and am an avid fan of WPF. I am currently working for SmithBayes where I have been working with .Net 3 (especially WPF) since the early CTP releases building a large decision making platform application.

The purpose of this blog is to be a place where I can share the knowledge in WPF I have gainedĀ over the years and get to know fellow .Net 3x fans.
