Perspective

Usually, writing custom graphical effects classes for WPF or Silverlight requires some HLSL programming skills. For a .NET programmer, learning this language may be sometimes long and tricky. The Perspective FX framework aims to help you to build custom effects classes without HLSL coding. You build an effect by combining graphical filters in a XAML file. The HLSL code and the .NET wrapper are automatically generated and compiled into an assembly that you can use in a WPF or Silverlight application. Tutorial

Many thanks to Sebastien Reynier, MSP, for his collaboration :-)

My book about Silverlight was published yesterday :-)

It's aimed at developers who want to make rich Internet applications: .NET Web developers or Web .NET developers ! The fundamentals are presented in Silverlight 2 and 3, and a chapter is dedicated to the specific features of the version 3. The example code is divided into several applications that use the Perspective for Silverlight open-source library.

Enjoy !
