A simple Transition Animation - animation

Trying to create a simple Card Game, I want to make a Transition Animation which moves an Image from a Canvas point to another. How can I do this?
I wonder if such animations are available out of the box.

you can just use a storyboard and provide start / end positions.
I show / hide text etc, change opacity etc no problems. infact all animations i used were direct port from WPDev and they work just fine.
More on them here

I recommend a Microsoft website named .toolbox which contains lots of video tutorial and sample code teaching you how to create animation by Blend and visual studio 2010.
Those code samples mostly are written by Silverlight in vs 2010. I tried to compile them under vs 2012, but it failed.

MONODROID camera preview with opengl overlay

I have created an augmented reality application using Monodroid and it works fine on a technical basis. However, the graphics I used were drawn on a canvas and are really too slow.
The application is a simple heads-up compass and speed display a-la luke-skywalkers binoculars.
I am trying to get a camera preview going with an openGL translucent/transparent overlay and yes, I have read whats available but its all pure Android SDK / Java.
Does anyone know of a method of getting this effect in C# and Monodroid possibly using the AndroidGameView? Whatever I do I can see one or the other but never both at the same time.
Unhelpful jerks are a pleasure to work with.

How to make panorama start-up animation like default windows phone panorama app

I just wondering how to make panorama start-up animation like music+video or picture app. Notice the sliding 3d animation when we open music+video/picture/marketplace app.
When I create panorama project using VS 2010 Express, the animation is just from right to left.
How do i make that animation?
If I understand you correctly - take a look to Wp7 silverlight toolkit - page transitions
The animations are there, but if you have too many things running on the UI thread, the animation will be hard to see since loading will be choppy. To test this, just make a new page with a default panorama inside it and observe the animation while its empty. Zune app will always be faster, its run on native code from my understanding.

Loading Circle in Visual C# 2010?

Instead of a regular progress bar, how can I make a circle with spokes that rotate telling the user that that my program is loading?
EDIT: I want it in Windows Forms
Ok thanks Tim, your solution works. I had to set the image by code since importing it in the designer froze it up.
I normally go to http://ajaxload.info/ and put one of their animated GIFs in a PictureBox.
This is the one I actually used in one of my apps
Circular Progress indicator.This second one is for WPF apps.

Moving graphical components with the mouse in Visual Studio

I have just installed Visual Studio.NET. In the Design area I have added some graphical components (button, textbox) but I can't move these within the specified area, as their position remains unchanged. I would like to move these graphical components with the mouse cursor, I know it's possible, does anyone know how?
It sounds like you have created a WPF project. WPF works a lot differently than WinForms which you are probably used to. So try creating a WinForms project, or get yourself acquainted with WPF.
I came here looking for the answer to the same question. OP is probably no longer interested and it was quite easy to Google it up, but in case somebody comes here as I did, here is the solution:
In WPF, place a Grid component on your form (or in your container, like Tab), and reset it (set both Height and Width to auto). Then you can place other controls and position them with your mouse normally.

Expression blend slideshow?

I'm specificaally a photoshop web designer and have a limited knowledge of xaml.
I'm trying to create a slideshow effect with images an text within it, similar to http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Image-slider-control-in-Silverlight-1.1.aspx
Does anyone know how I would create this by just using Expression Blend. I would prefer not to dip into any code! Would be great if there is some sort of behavior for this?
I'm currently using the states and storyboard. The animation works in sketch preview, but I can't get the buttons to work for the behavior gotonextstate.
Any ideas?
Thanks Judi
I did it for you but don't know how to attache file here so send me your mail to send it to you.
be sure to have the default windows 7 (vista) images fileder to let the sample run fine.
Take care,
