All that other crap is sooooooo 20th Century.

I'm torn between, eergh yuk, more ASP.Net style crap when I read stuff like this:

"The problem is still that creating all the controls up front takes too long; I'd rather wait for the VirtualizingStackPanel to create each item via a template when it is needed for display.

So ideally what I'm looking for is some hook into the creation of objects from the ListBox's ItemTemplate - then I can downcast them to FooBarUserControl and typically call my own .Configure(<important config objects>) method."

...and seeing things like this: North Face Demo, and thinking, hmm...a bit of drag/drop and hey presto.

Thank God for SAP, it's all so much simpler.

Seriously though - Apple already have something far more powerful called quartz extreme...

It runs ENTIRELY on the graphics card, can manipulate several live video streams, do any drawing, manipulate anything, it doesn't require any code, you can build it like an analogue synth, it's free and it's been around since last year in production use. Oh and it can run from the browser and communicate using javascript/ajax.

I built an application that spawned 3d bubbles each time i clapped my hands with my reflection on them LIVE from the integrated camera. Kept my daughter happy for hours and took 10 minutes to create.
