    Best approach for create resource (style/template)

    Jul 15, 2009 01:50 PM | LINK

    Hi,

    I'm pretty noob with silverlight ... and I would know how you create your resource file? I guess you didn't code directly in resource file your animation ?

    Any tools(or tips) move setting from a usercontrol(page whatever) to a resource file ?

    I code directly my storyboards [...] in my file. I think there is no tools to do it !

    But I'm using my App.xaml  fro my style...

    <Application.Resources>......

    May be with Blend ... Look as this it can help you

    You code your animation directly in resource file ? and you run each time you see the result of animation ?!?!

     My styles (templates) are in my App.xaml file. I don't have a lot of animations so there are written in my usercontrol.xaml file

    I'm using resources files for my bitmaps for example

    Ummm I guess is better to use resource file for driven your style/animation vs create specific user control ... Is more flexible by use resource file no?

     It depend of your animations... In my case, I'm using an UserControl which contains several button (Ok, Cancel, Help)

    Each button has his own animation (own storyboard).... I use this UC many time in my application so I've writing the 3 animations in my Uc "Menu" I'm not sure that it's better to use a resource file....
