I am trying to develop a Silverlight application that would look very similar to your Twitter interface.  Instead of tweets, I would like to have little cards of information.  I would like to have a maximum of 25 or 16 cards to a "page" and then be able to "page" to the next grouping.

I downloaded your SL 2.0 (beta) code, is there a solution with the RTW code available?

ComponentOne isn't giving out the Sapphire controls anymore - at least I couldn't find a link.

So is this functionality of little cards arranged in a space that could be paged through even possible with just the controls that Microsoft provides?  Are the C1 controls (like the flow panel) the only way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Michael Kelsey

(I am also reduced to using the Visual Web Developer 2008 - so I'm already somewhat handicapped...)

Michael, sorry for the delay... was making some changes to add a few features.

The source is available at:

Btw, I no longer use any of the C1 controls, everything used here is either out of the box Silverlight controls, or custom code.  (Erik Klimczak from Clarity created the nice animating wrap panel to give the liquid effect).  Good luck with your project, let me know how it turns out.
