Yes, since the project needs to be updated if you're using Blend 4. When the update dialog pops up, click "Yes" then in the Projects panel double-click "MainPage.xaml" to see the objects.

The hover effect is defined in the ListBoxItem template (ItemContainerStyle property of the ListBox). Any property changes you make in the MouseOver visual state of that template will show up when you hover over the item.

So close! This is just a formatting issue.

The curly brace right before "private void compositionTarget_Rendering..." should be after the method. So it should look like this:

...
private void LayoutRoot_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
mouse = e.GetPosition(this);
}

private void compositionTarget_Rendering(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach(block b in LayoutRoot.Children){
double x = Canvas.GetLeft(b) - mouse.X;
double y = Canvas.GetTop(b) - mouse.Y;
double distance = Math.Sqrt(x * x + y * y);
double rad = Math.Atan2(y, x);
double angle = rad * (180/Math.PI);
b.transform.ScaleX = b.transform.ScaleY = 0.6 + distance / 300.0;
if(distance < 200){
b.targetAngle = angle-180;
}
else{
b.targetAngle = 0;
}
}
}
}
}

I just recently updated this tutorial and you did run into a type this time. Thanks for letting me know!

Rather than: b.transform.Angle = 10 * i;
It should be: b.transform.Rotation = 10 * i;

It looks in your code you still need to change LayoutRoot from a Grid to Canvas, too. Otherwise Canvas.SetLeft and SetTop won't have an effect.

Glad you got it! Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on getting completed projects posted.

Hi DaLarry,

I've updated the code sample in the tutorial (pg 3) to give a better idea where to add the code. You are one curly brace away from perfection...

I've fixed the links. Thanks for the heads up!

You make a good point, CompositionTarget.Rendering could be used here. I'm working on an addendum to this tutorial which will walkthrough the different ways available to handle procedural animation, comparing advantages and disadvantages.

The FluidMoveBehavior was used to animate the glasses across the surface as they were positioned. It was purely a visual effect to demonstrate the Behavior, I'd expect the application to work just fine with out.

Make sure that the keyframe in the Storyboard is selected. Key frames show up as white be default and then gray when they are selected. Once selected the Properties panel will display the easing function.

Do you have Expression Encoder installed?

You do not have to add the file to the project, you can reference the media files with a local or absolute URL.

Thanks Peter! I've updated the scripts and the images now zoom as expected.
