In my WPF application, I need to draw a line chart which draws a line with an animation. The best solution I've found yet, is to use Devexpress tool which provide all what I need and much more but it's quite expensive and I guess it won't fit my budget.
I also tried to do it with WPF toolkit and AMChart but I can't find any way to animate the drawing of the line on the chart.
Is it possible to set an animation or to create one and assign it to chart (from WPF toolkit or Amchart) ?
The aim is to draw the line like if I was drawing it slowly on the chart.
For this project I'm using Visual Studio 2012, WPF, .NET 4.0, C#.
Thanks in advance.
You can use Animation Libraries that exist in WPF. For example by using DoubleAnimation, you can do any animation at your project.

I want to build a simple Xamarin app that can draw shapes with editing handles. I can then drag and drop the handles to edit the shapes. This can be done with Syncfusion image editor controls but the shapes I wanted are not available.
Can anybody give me some clue about what should I do? Or point me to an open-source project?

SkiaSharp is a 2D graphics system for .NET and C# powered by the open-source Skia graphics engine that is used extensively in Google products. You can use SkiaSharp in your Xamarin.Forms applications to draw 2D vector graphics, bitmaps, and text.
You can refer to the tutorials in the following link:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/graphics/skiasharp/basics/
I have to make an app with 2d drawing for Windows RT. I don't know how can achieve that. Drawing with xaml is not a option, because I have to draw it at run time, and the content of graphic will varies. I am looking for something like android's View and it's onDraw() method, Is that possible?
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.

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.
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.
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.
